The wondreful Losers' 2nd album 'And So We Shall Never Part' (in which Jem has had a great deal of involvement) is being streamed in it's entirety below today only. It includes *that* version of Azan with A little snippet of a new Frost* song.

I've only just started listening myself but I can say it's sounding great so far!
I have pledged my copy today :)
Just listened to the whole thing, and its bloody amazing to say the least! ;D
Hmm.. a few tracks don't quite do it for me (on first listen anyway)... but those that hit the spot... omg! :o (and the rest will no doubt grow on me...) Will def. pick this up... :)
There are a few track that are of a more 'indie' vibe which generally doesn't do it for me either, but there are some excellent tracks on there. And as you say, the rest will no doubt grow.
Listening for the first time right now, and wow this album gives me a great feeling. Can't say that about much music, really.
And I love the sound. That huge direct hi-fi sound without being beaten to death is really nice and pleasant. We know who's responsible for that. ;)
Can't wait to the ipod test. A long walk and new music is a good way to take it all in without distractions. :)
Today is still going :)

Available till 2pm I think
Second listening: Damn I like this a lot! :D
Oblivion is definitely song of the day.
I've just pledged and I think it's worth pointing out that if you pledge you get an MP3 of Jem's Azan remix so in a way you're getting a bit of a Frost* song with your Losers purchase.
Pledged! 8)
Me, too!
This baby is still streaming. It's hidden on their Soundcloud, but the link above works. :D
Pledged
Done!
Are we supposed to get a download or something?

Two! I think you have to go to 'Updates' on the left. both of the updates have a download in the post.
Ahhhhh! Silly me. Thanks!
Excellent!
Listening to *that* version of "Azan", is anyone else getting a little flavour of "Fathers" from the slow build at the beginning? Specifically the 3 note motif that plays in the keys.
It's a nice little touch :)
Email in this afternoon to say that they have reached their pledge total. 8)
Excellent news!
Ladies and gents, those of you who have pledged should now be able to download the full album from PledgeMusic. You probably know already of course, but I thought I'd say so on here for completeness
ooh, haven't gotten my email yet!
Ah, well then I'm glad I mentioned it!
if you go to http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/losers and log in, then go to updates you will find the download in the latest update :)
And ruddy marvellous it is too. I never actually played it when it was available to stream so I had my first listen today. Liked it A LOT.
Yep, it's great! I remember enjoying the stream but now I have it on my hard drive it seems even better somehow.

thanks! I never did an announcement email, but the album is downloading now!
been listening for a couple of days now and it gets better and better with each play. :)
So, I need a big favor. I have downloaded the zip file twice, and tried three different un-zipping utilities, and while it says it has expanded the file, the folder of music doesn't show up anywhere on my computer. I'm stumped. So if some kind soul could perhaps upload the album to dropbox or some such, and send me a PM with a link, I would be forever (or at least until I can repay said favor!) in your debt! I'm fine with mp3s!
uploading now Roger, shall PM you shortly.
Thank you, thank you!!! ;D
RAWK!!
It definitely has the Godfrey DNA threaded through it, almost to the point where the Frost*iness is evident.
It's on loop for me now. I wasn't entirely sure I'd like it but it has won me over, very happy.
Really digging it all.

a frost*like coating. a frost*ing, if you will.
You're definitely right though, it's almost like if frost* had a slightly more mainstream sibling or cousin.
So...is it just me, or does anyone else prefer Jem's re-mix of 'Azan' over the studio/release version? Small differences in the mix, but the MOST noticeable has to be the re-work of the vocals during the build at the end.
Regardless, this is a fantastic album and as previously stated: the Godfrey DNA is threaded throughout in a VERY good way.
Just got it though I haven't listened yet. Is Jem now trading as KLLKLL? Only I don't see his name and he/she/they/it did additional production and mix

That's my assumption. Perhaps that's his most recent EDM alter-ego!
Did anyone else order the double CD with remixes?
Only I seem to have received the main album only...

I considered the double CD but didn't go for it in the end. So my reply is pointless and doesn't help you at all.
Mine, too, but I sure do like this album! ;D

I didn't, but I did find the band quite responsive on Facebook so if you ask they'll probably get back quite quickly. :)
I did only got the single too. Thought there were problems with getting the remixes out?

Admittedly I was the same :) Again this message will not help in any shape/ form or biscuit!
Perhaps I'm being a little bit fick here, but having completely missed the pledge thingy, is there actually any way on this planet to buy the album now? It really does seem to be the music industry's best kept secret!
I have sheckles waiting and everything! 8)
In my emails today:-
"Dearly beloved,
Thank you so much for your patience on this. The process of putting this album together has taken an inordinate amount of time and we can only apologise. It all comes from such a good and positive place...get your mates and heroes to contribute to a collective, shared idea, but the reality is that it's like trying to herd cats. Not normal felines either, some of these cats have the most unforgiving schedules and enormous pressures. There was a lot of waiting on maybes too: DJ Shadow asked to remix Turn Around but just didn't have the time to "do something meaningful, although the will is there", Alex Metric, Monsta, and UNKLE too, all wanted to contribute, and we had to wait, even for the possibility of something from them, which for various good reasons could not materialise in time. Producers are human and humans have to pay rent, and work to deadlines, to things get prioritised, and a labour of love, like this, ends up inevitably slipping down the priority list, and und erstandably so. They all had to be made in 'down time' as it were, so, again, that meant we were forced to wait, and had to be patient, while all the time knowing that you wanted and deserved to have this record in your bosom. Even the mastering took longer than we anticipated, because favours had to be pulled to get it just right, and with so many different studios involved and so many different styles, one cohesive record was a mammoth task in itself.
So, now we are there. We managed to have every song on the album remixed, one or two even done twice for good measure, and the list is deep and wide, reflecting our taste, our music and our ethos.
The CDs have been mastered, the artwork has been done, the calligraphy penned by the legend that is Goldie and we are at manufacturing stage.
We can now reassure you that Losers 'And So We Shall Never Part II' will be posted out to you on the 21st March.
The download is available for you now here: www.pledgemusic.com/projects/losers/downloads.
Thank you again, for your love, patience and support, it means a great deal to us and we feel sure the end result has been worth the wait.
Your friendly neighbourhood Losers xxx"
:) :)
Nice!
