Jules Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Exclusively on Spin for now, but APC has launched a new track called "By And Down", which will be featured as a bonus on their upcoming greatest hits track. It's a really unique track - not as loud and fast as other work, but very progrock and strong towards the end - and I'm delighted to hear Maynard sound as good as ever, knowing he's warming up to recording a new Tool album at some point this Fall or this Spring. Song can be heard here: http://www.spin.com/articles/a-perfect-circle-by-and-down-stream-three-sixty-greatest-hits/ :m: :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 MJK forever. I'm jacked, and I haven't even heard the song yet! :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 It has a really new and crisp sound, but it's unmistakeably APC and MJK at work. Fantastic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hauntingly beautiful, is how I'd describe it. I'm still too excited over the sheer fact it exists and is new right now to give you an honest, unbiased opinion yet though. :rofl: Let me come back to you when my little boy new toy excitement subsides some.

Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This is surprising, wasn't there a lot of friction between mjk and Howerdel? In any event I'll have to give it a listen. APC never consistently had me, but they had a couple of great songs I really enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Scags Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Was wondering what happened to these guys. I dated a girl about 14 years ago whom for whatever reason bought their CD imply because she liked the album cover, but eventually gave it to me because she hated the music, and because of that I really got into several of their songs.

Phil Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yeah, so I've listened to this like twenty times in two days now, and I still have exactly the same feeling today I did when I first heard it. I love it. I love the Eastern music influences, and MJK's usual is still grade-A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've never understood MJK fans who hate APC but love Tool. No offense, 92, but I just don't get it. Unless you're saying you're a Tool fan, and not necessarily an MJK fan. For me, anything he attaches himself to tends to be gold, so be it Tool, APC, Puscifer or otherwise, I'm in, but I guess I can sorta get it if you're just not into the softer sounds he's done with APC and Puscifer.

I like Puscifer, but I think APC misses the spot for me musically. It's nothing to do with softer or harder, I just don't like the way they preset their sound, for the most part. The outsider, count bodies like sheep, imagine cover, Judith to some degree, and a handful of others get a lot of play on my iTunes, but otherwise it just doesn't feel right. The sound I guess just isn't very unique or doesn't feel like it has a direction. I feel like there's way more direction with Tool and Puscifer's sound.

We’ll see how it goes. Most likely, it’ll be early 2014.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
