Vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. "Compassion", the follow-up to 2013's critically lauded debut Engravings, will be released on 5th May 2017 via Ninja Tune. The album will be followed by a set of multidisciplinary projects expanding the themes and concepts across wider disciplines, overseen by Forest Swords own Dense Truth, an experimental art studio and record label. Compassion" is a response to the uncertain, aggressive new world were experiencing and communicating within, distilling it into a unique sound territory: Barnes' exploration of the mid-point between ecstasy and melancholy, artificial and human feels timely and affecting; a celebration of primal connections, life itself, and an anxious glance at the direction we're heading. The result is an assured, compelling, vital body of work, tying together the ancient and future: weaving swathes of buzzing digital textures, field recordings, clattering beats and distorted jazz sax with fizzing orchestral arrangements. The album shifts from 'The Highest Flood's skeletal bounce to 'Panic's claustrophobic paranoia; the rapturous hyperballad 'Arms Out' to the windswept and cinematic Knife Edge, navigating through the orchestral glitch of 'War It' to decaying jazz thump of Raw Language. The album is equal parts disorienting and immersive, balancing bold sweeping gestures and crumbling textures; tracks seemingly disintegrating and reassembling at points across the album. Blending both digital and specially recorded brass, strings and vocals, Barnes's processing never truly makes it clear what's new or old, sampled or unique, constantly blurring and toying with the line between digital and acoustic. The 'mixed media' approach extends to the record's packaging and design, all directed by Barnes himself. The visuals intersect many of the albums themes: bodies, connection, language and movement with the deluxe booklet featuring portraits of first-wave immigrants who travelled from Barnes' home port of Liverpool to New York. Central to this enthralling world is Compassion", an album that's as weighty as it is vulnerable, sculpting the most striking parts of his previous work into something that feels urgent and necessary, and cementing Barnes as one of the UK's most significant electronic artists and composers.

Unusual, unique look for cheap.
In most ways, this is simply an inexpensive Chinese quartz watch. As a watch collector, it's simply not the kind of thing I would be interested in. But, it is unusual in good ways.
It's all stainless and the case is 39mm while the lug width is 20mm which is pretty normal for a dress watch. It's powered by a Japanese quartz movement giving three hands with day/date. As one can expect at this price, the crystal is mineral glass. The bracelet is a solid link type with a butterfly clasp. I really don't like butterfly clasps but that's just me, it works okay. It has 30m water resistance. Crown is push-pull. Pretty standard stuff.
Then, the uniqueness drops on you! The crystal is faceted on the outside and the light really plays on it, especially with the sunray blue dial behind that! The dial is a combination of Roman numerals in gold on the even numbers and faux diamonds at the odd hour positions. It rides the edge of gaudy without going over IMO. The bezel has scallops which also reflect light as it moves. The case is all polish. The bracelet is just as unique. It is a little loose - jingly jangly as some pretty famous brands are. The bracelet is a combination of stainless and gold tone. The individual links are very well articulated and one row of the inner sections of the bracelet actually scalloped with a curve upwards at the ends - the opposite of what you'd expect but somehow it works and the unique touches all come together.
I'm not saying this is a great watch for watch collectors. But, if you're looking for a cheap dress watch that won't look like anyone else's and still has decent specs this is worth a look!

Great watch, looks good
I was worried about the watch looking too bulky and thick. It looks just right on my wrist and I have a 7 inch wrist. 10/10 watch, looks epic and was just what I wanted. Not too thick, not too thin, fits my needs perfectly.

good watch, great price, mediocre band
Accurate? Great price? it's a Casio!
Not the best looker, but darn easy to read. This is a stepping stone to an "easy reader" watch, with clear numbers on a high contrast background. Easy to set, this model is a good choice for traveling back and forth across time zones.
The big drawback (and likely the reason I was able to buy this watch as a return) is the watchband, which has 3 faults. The hasp is old school and it can be hard to open and close except when it opens unexpectedly. The corners of the links are not rounded, so they can bite into your wrist. And adjusting the size of the band is a PITA. All in all, I'm on the lookout for a replacement band.
[I have absurdly large wrists, but still needed to remove two links. Use a super small bladed screwdriver on the band and a paperclip for the springbar at the hasp. Open the band at the hasp, find and press down on bits of spring steel until you can slide them out of the watchband, remove links, reassemble the band. I'm reasonably handy but took 10+ minutes for the task.]
