Yes, I got that promo too. I agree that the remix is excellent. Completly different from the original, but equally good and addictive

woah. thanks for the link NR! this album is in my top 20 records ever. so dark, dense and melodic. i luv the incendiary 'Scarlette', i still think it was written for me just they put an 'e' on the end to confuse people.

Every time I spin LEAVES TURN (which is generally Autumn) I can't help but get into the same old 'what if' frame of mind. What if Unwound had NOT broken up? What if they had continued beyond LEAVES? Would they have potentially become my favorite band?

Probably not, but the potential was certainly there in 2001. To celebrate their 10 year anniversary as a band they dropped a double album that took its time to spread out and get fucking incredible.

From the first time I heard the opening drone of "We Invent You" there was a lump in my throat as I let the whole record(s) unfold before my ears. Here was a dischordant art punK band who suddenly made their own WHITE ALBUM (only the packaging was black). And dark it was. But also beautiful.

Listening now, I can't help but think that they must have FELT that the end was near. There was so much experimentation on LEAVES that it's as if they were just now getting around to trying everything they had always intended to try before it ended. The extra instruments. The wall of ghostly sound. It's really hard to put into words in a way. But "Demons Sing Love Songs" may just be one of the best songs ever written.

Yes. This is one of the most awesome albums.

Come on. You know full well that while Die Kreuzen may have once been quite good they were never 'amazing'. Once we start describing Die Kreuzen as amazing then where does that leave all the other thousands of bands that were a thousand times better than them?

Leaves Turn Inside You is indeed an amazing album, but I'm not really a fan of the muffled production - the drums sound like wet cardboard boxes to my (admittedly half-deaf) ears. I find myself spinning New Plastic Ideas and The Future Of What a lot more.

I like the production A LOT. It was produced my them, in their own new studio.

Yeah but leaves always used to bore me. I'd be like "alright, I'll give it a go" and then end up just putting on another album by then and being like "yeah this is fuckin' rad"

I'll give it a go once I actually feel like listening to music with guitars again.

I really can't understand using "boring" to describe this album for one moment.

Yeah I know, and I listen to a lot of music that people would consider boring, but that's the reaction I have when I listen to it nevertheless.

My first Unwound record, still holds a special place in my heart. Glorious album. The production is perfect.

I'll give both discs a spin later.
