No download option and no CD player in the house means I can’t hear the demos and extra tracks

Album still sounds great to me after finally listening to the official release. But, as always, some of the stripped back demos sound better. The bonus tracks don't do too much for. Still, a fantastic effort for a 13th album. And great that really it's an album that is not too high concept. Loved the muso chat on 6music yesterday about the craft of the songs etc. And although people are (wrongly!) moaning about the similarity to PFAYM production, there is actual craft in these songs compared to PFAYM.

Apart from the chorus of Vivian, I don't see much similarity with PFAYM.

Might not be obvious to everyone, but the black vinyl includes a CD hidden within the inner sleeve

The red one says it does, but doesn't... at least that's my reading of it

Holding Patterns is obviously about PFAYM.

I’d file it alongside Melancholyme and What Happened to the Blue Generation and wouldn’t be surprised if it’s from that era/session.

I agree with everything DK said above. Haunting arpeggio at the beginning, mid-tempo, lots of words, self-reflective lyrics/self-referential. It's lovely IMHO.

Will transcribe the lyrics soon (as best I can!)

Holding Patterns lyrics
—————————————

The universe it waits
All the miseries that we make
The global emptiness
Identikit heroes, giant outer egos
Internal monologues, the branded demagogues
To all the first responders and all the early adopters

Bad blood chlorine*
The most modern of our pain
Perpetual, eventual
Perpetual slavery, eventual shame
Holding patterns are all that matter
Holding patterns draw back curtains
Hold back morning, no returning

All the mess we made
Failure to communicate
The missing millions
All are sinning from the beginning
No point in hanging on
Legacies are too far gone
Scared souls are never free
Black moons and hyper-galaxies

Bad blood chlorine
The most modern of our pain
Perpetual, eventual
Perpetual slavery, eventual shame
Holding patterns are all that matter
Holding patterns draw back curtains
Hold back morning, no returning

Bad blood chlorine
The most modern of our pain
Perpetual, eventual
Perpetual slavery, eventual shame
Holding patterns are all that matter
Holding patterns draw back curtains
Hold back morning, no returning

-----------------------------

*I think it's "chlorine", but that could be wrong!? Anyone else got a different suggestion?

Now I'd like a way to listen to Holding Patterns (nothing to play my vinyl on). Is it online anywhere?
