This seems to be what all labels do now. New Flaming Lips and Gorillaz albums both released on here.

So, PledgeMusic is another form of crowdfunding? A bit like Kickstarter? Yeah, so at the end of the transaction it tells me I will get a refund if the project target is not released! Bit weird..... Probably a formality. Didn't see a target goal If you read the faq it it pretty clear...it is an pre-order not a pledge

Either way, who's taking bets on the actual day the physical versions are sent out?

A quote from my mate after I sent him the Kickstarter update video and the Pledge link...
"Poor James.... I'm happy to do my part to help him get back on his feet financially!! I just purchased the signed Deluxe 2CD edition - only £18 ($29) including postage! That's like three issues of the Big Issue!!"

I heard 30 seconds of the "possible" ASAP track and to me it doesn't sound like ASAP, not sayin it isn't for sure but not positive its ASAP..the beats/productions is badass and hope we hear the full track on part 2 if it's indeed not on part 1.

If it's on The Road Pt.1 (it wasn't just iTunes which got the clip wrong, Amazon & GooglePlay were too... so either they all use the same clip library, or it was sent by Unkle): Assuming it's longer than 1 of the <1min interludes (I've only heard the 30sec clip).... And discounting the tracks we've definitely already heard (inc "Stole Enough", "Sonata" & "Sunrise" from Lazarides)
It's got to be one of two tracks: a) No Were to Run / Bandits b) Arms Length (feat Elliott Power, Miink, Callum Finn)
1st impression was that it didn't sound like Elliot Power (but I could EASILY be wrong), I'm not familiar with A$AP Rocky, and have to admit to not knowing what Miink & Callum Finn sound like (will have to investigate).
Anyway, looks like all digital releases now say June 23rd too. Not too long to wait really.
As for Pledgemusic, I'd have been tempted if I collected vinyl, but for the CD I've just pre-ordered via Amazon (£13 rather than £18), and I can live without JL defacing the cover ;o) Was hoping for a War-Stories like pre-order bonus disk exclusives/def-mix (tho guess the later was unlikely with Pablo gone).

Just realised 'No Where To Run' is the thing played at the Russian Live gig - with JL on vocals, and nobody thought much to. Either it's had a MAJOR rework... or I think we have a best-guess to the 'mystery' track: = "Arms Length"*
*Pure guesswork... and to be honest I'm hoping to be surprised.

The A$AP Rocky track is not on Pt.1, is a full track and is definitely A$AP Rocky - the opening of the track goes 'U. N. K. L. E. and A. S. A. P. don't forget the dollar sign' and the chorus goes 'Let It Be' with a female backing - Eska/Yseé??
Track length 5:08

A$AP Rocky reportedly 'worked' with UNKLE back in 2015 when James was doing some Boat-Fest thing with Michèle Lamy

What's disappointing is actually only like 9 tracks when you remove the skit tracks... 2 of which have already been released... Guess Part 2 will have more content.

I do this every time, promise myself ill resist so can enjoy that rare moment of an anticipated album in full.... then devour all the pre-release singles/videos/streams and realise there'll only be a couple of totally unknown songs at release.
Guess the good news if the 'A$AP' track isnt on Part1... is hopefully there wont be a 6year wait before the next one.

Just to reiterate my earlier point... The A$AP track - in my opinion - is the most striking and complete track they've done since In A State Bold statement that - and yeah its a belter!

First hip hop track they've done on an album since Psyence Fiction too! Unless you count that one with Lupe Fiasco or those with 3D.

Is there a secret handshake/password I can learn to hear this mystery track please?
