Early Bird is there too, probably better to buy it from Amazon rather than iTunes, no DRM and MP3 format.

Oh, and I may be wrong, difficult to tell, but female backing vocals on this one?

The backing vocals are done by the guys themselves. It's on the DVD (recording backing vocals). ;)

That's what I was thinking...until I found a certain FLAC download link. I think it's fairly funny that a lossless version emerged for free, while the song is only being sold as an mp3. Was heavy drinking involved in developing the new MK Inc. marketing plan?  ;)

Hm nice flowing guitar work, but this sample seems to be a little bit repetitive. Nevertheless I'm glad that more songs see the light of the day.
Very strange is that I can't find  it at amazon Germany.

You have to switch the search option over to "MP3 Downloads" on top in the drop down menu. But even if you do that, it doesn't seem to be there.

Well, I guess that's because of one of those people who like to talk about the amount of music they have in TeraBytes and convert everything to FLAC (even the crappy bootleg recordings!). As long as every song of about 5 minutes takes over 30 MB on your hard disk, there is a chance you beat everyone. ;D It's something with "size" and "matters". ;)

Time In The Sun sounds good to me, can't wait to hear the complete song! :D

Thanks for the hint, but that doesn't work for amazon.de. Maybe they'll add the bonus song next week.

Oh? And where did you read that?

I saw you wrote above that "FLAC is pretty useless", and without attempting to insult you, I think that's just about the most misguided statement I've read here in a long time. FLAC is for people who enjoy lossless audio- who don't appreciate the atrocious sound of an mp3, or should I say "empty3s".  :P

Lossless audio is of course better than an Mp3 (even a 320 kb/s), that's true. But seen the fact that (most of) the recordings which are available on the internet (such as bootlegs) are of relatively bad quality themselves, it is pretty useless to make them even bigger. A bad recording doesn't sound much better when converted from WAV to FLAC. Actually every conversion decreases the quality of the recording. Probably, the FLAC which is circulating on the internet is a conversion of the 256 kb/s Mp3: the chance that someone could get a good quality (lossless) audio file (for example an original CD) of Early Bird is close to zero. Pumping up the size of a 256 kb/s Mp3 doesn't automatically increase the quality, only size. You can't create what isn't there with digital audio, that's my point. :)

Yes, I know, but in this case the FLAC download of Early Bird was actually lossless. I checked it in Adobe Audition.

Let's not forget, the individual who released this particuar file has official links to MK, so entirely possible.

As for your comments about all these "bad quaility" bootlegs, well just stick around here for a while, "watch and learn son, watch and learn." ;)

Oh ! I thought Time in the Sun was one of the three tracks on the deluxe set, but apparently it's yet another track hidden away somewhere other than on the album itself. I wonder how many other tracks will turn up on the Japanese version.

I don't know why they didn't just release the album with all 16 tracks on and be done with it and save all this scraping about. I'm sure they would have all fit onto one CD.

"Time In The Sun" is now available at Amazon.

You can buy mp3s from Amazon US from abroad if you use a proxy and then buy yourself the cheapest gift certificate ($5).

For some reason you can't use foreign credit cards for mp3s, but you can buy the certificates with the same credit card. You'll need to register a new account with a U.S. address...so just make one up (but get a matching zip code for whichever state you choose). Then buy yourself a gift certificate and have it sent to the email address you registered with (it should arrive almost immediately). Go to your "account" and credit the certificate to your account. Finally, fire up a proxy to make Amazon think you're in the States and buy the two bonus songs. I can't say it will work for everyone, but it worked for me.

I feel better knowing I've paid for the tracks.

I understand what you are saying, but take a look at you solution:  I am not gonna use a proxy and buy a $5 gift certificate for just one song.
I have allready bought the Deluxe box and Early Bird from iTunes.
If they make Time In The Sun also available on iTunes then I will buy it there, but I just don't like this marketing strategy.

I have mailed them for Early Bird and this was the answer they gave me back then: As far as I understand, this was an exclusive iTunes bonus for 'Get Lucky' and won't be available elsewhere.

They are just not thinking with the fans that wants to have it all.

How the music industry turns loyal custumer into pirate?

Simple : they use their old marketing dirty tricks.

Industry want to deny that WWW is for World Wide Web. They are protectionist minded on an open market, so their commercial strategy is anything but promised to fail.

For my part, to date I decided NOT to buy the album. I will wait for a "budget" version if it is ever put out.

The mp3 is out there. And apparently, unlike Early Bird in Europe (?), Time in the Sun is not being released in a lossless format on iTunes USA.

That's just silly IMO, and the lack of information about any of this on the "official site" is pathetic.

I can't download it either from Amazon ofcourse, but I was listening to the 30 sec. sample on www.what-it-is.nl and it turned out to be the complete song! :D  So I recorderd it on my computer ;D The song is beautiful :)

I've never known a mess like this where there are different tracks exclusively available to different countries. I really don't see the point of it. It just causes frustration and resentment.

It wouldn't be so bad if they also made them available to all centrally through the official site store, but no....that would be too easy.

This whole debacle smacks of iTunes and Amazon demanding `something extra` for their own promotional purposes. If this is true then Early Bird and Time In The Sun may never have seen the light of day at all. Either MK and/or management didn`t have the negotiating power to say `no` or maybe he didn`t care in the end? As many folks have commented, i can`t imagine MK devising all this himself, its just crazy.
Obviously we the fans care and none of the above explains the Boxset 3 song bonus choice. It could have been a whole lot more, outtakes, live stuff etc. (sorry wrong thread)

But there you go, my hunch is we have Early Bird because of iTunes.
I bet we`ll get Time in the Sun because of Amazon.

I think they are a little too late. they had to release both songs at the same time in the whole world.
I bet that most people allready have got those songs and 50% didn't pay for them.

All songs that could have never seen the light and we got (almost) all of these  in Cd quality...and I was happy to pay to get them.

As it turns out, iTunes is going to "release" Time in the Sun as well. But only on 9/22. And you have to buy the whole album with the bonus track- you can't just buy the single track. Terms and conditions may apply. Not applicable to residents of Hawaii or Alaska. Offer ends 9/23. Bwahaha...the MK Inc. machine never ceases to amaze me.

I've listened to Time in the Sun a few times now and it's certainly an under-developed song. That said, I really like it. I find it a bit surprising since Mark's slow stuff bores me to tears sometimes these days, but there is an interesting, low-down feel to this one. It could have been great with some more guitar and if developed. Better than Hard Shoulder.

I think that the meaning is about enjoying life.    We like to be outdoors in a sunny day.   The fresh air, blue sky, and warm sun make us feel good.   That is the literal meaning.    "Time in the sun" is a metaphor for being in a good place, when you are happy, when life is going well, when people appreciate you and recognize your worth as a person.

Try Try Try No Cigar is not exactly how I know it here in California, but it probably means about the same.    Here it is "Nice try, but no cigar."    It means you tried hard, but nothing came of it.    You did what you could, but no reward.

From my point of view, it's clearly about success, alas "time in the sun". The cigar mentioned would be missing out on getting to smoke the winner's cigar when one has achieved whatever one has set out to do. But it's a dark song really, since no one will get his/her time in the sun wherever the song takes place since there are no chances (getting "no ball" or something like that). One interpretation of this would be from a working class perspective, though it's really open.
