Forgive me if I'm posting this on the wrong part of the board, I'm tremendously bad at judging things like that. The long and the short of it is, I've been listening obsessively to live versions of Armistice and Time Of My Life on YouTube (and of course the brief samples of the the latter and Together on the megamix), and am now getting myself ridiculously excited about The Conqueror, even if we will have to wait at least 6 months to hear it. So I propose an outlet to discuss, hope and conjecture wildly about what to expect from Battle Two. From my Twitter-stalking and fleeting chat with Patrick after the Atlanta show, it seems The Conqueror is about 70% recorded, but Patrick told me "I keep meeting new people and wanting to collaborate with them", so this may delay things somewhat. He also confirmed that THE SWINTON will once again be contributing, which made me very happy. Soooo...what have you lot heard? Any rumours or bits of gossip are welcome, just don't expect us to quote you on your allegations. I know this is a very premature thread to set up, but dammit I'm excited. xx

I seem to remember Patrick saying whereas TMP was about a fleeting type of love, The Conquerer will be more about 'a solid love' or words to that affect. Does anyone remember where he said this?

That's news to me, but it makes sense given the lyrics/ tone of Armistice ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4zNNDHYj7g) ... they're very mature and seem a lot less flighty than some of the stuff in TMP, not that I'm criticising. He seems very sure of the nature of his feelings in that song ... I totally didn't cry at it, no, not at all.

Does anyone remember where he said this? i don't have the exact quote and i don't remember what interview it was from (fat lot of good i am, really) but the quote was something like how TMP was a 'boney m' kind of love, haha.

Ah, he says that about the Conqueror at the very end of that under the radar article you posted just recently, jay! I knew I read it just a few days ago and I just checked, tis there.
Anyway I'VE NEVER HEARD TIME OF MY LIFE. I'll need to check that out. I love Armistice and what I've heard of Together. Also, does anyone remember the song Peacock Skies? He performed it a long time ago back in his red hair extension wearing days, and someone got it on youtube but it got deleted for some weird copyright reasons. It had the lyrics "motherless Muslims, cold-hearted Christians, I spread my love" and it was so beautiful and all about love and hope for peace, I was obsessed when I first heard it. I'm thinking it'll be on The Conqueror as he said something about Universal not liking lyrics about minorities or majorities (the bastards).
So... YES I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE CONQUEROR.

Thank you so much for making me think I'm not going mad I have the feeling The Conquerer will go down in history as one of the pinnacles of music. but maybe that's just me.Edit:"It's life after I've grown up, sort of a more serious joy, an awareness that I've been in a dark place and come out of it, as opposed to the fleeting joy of The Magic Position."

Peacock Skies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=itF5VzgAcyQTime of My Life: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N--m5rpRW6c(and now I will go back into my corner and pretend I didn't record these and post them because I always feel a little bad but at the same time want everyone to hear how amazing they are) I figured Time of My Life would be on The Bachelor (or a b-side or whatnot), so I'm worried it won't appear on The Conqueror. I suppose it's possible some of it will have changed since this recording, and it'll make more sense for the theme... And he also said there as a song that everyone told him would be a #1 for sure, and that he didn't put it on for whatever reason. This is my fleeting hope it will appear and be a track he played a couple years ago dj-ing. I am also excited!! And it will probably mean another tour! haha, for now I will continue to adore The Bachelor.

Victoria, I love you. Thanks so much for posting those, as I haven't yet heard Peacock Skies, and in the 'related videos' on YouTube I have spied The Days, which I have also not heard.
In short, you're a star. xx

They all sound so wonderful, and I really like Peacock Skies. I haven't heard anything from The Conqueror until just now. I was at the NYC show and had to leave just before he played Armistice. I'm also excited for The Conqueror.

Thanks for those Victoria! And oh nooo, I don't want him to scrap the supposedly possible future #1 hit song!
Whatever happened to Blackbird? Maybe he thought it sounded too much like Justin Timberlake.

No, it is not too early to start counting down for The Conqueror! Somebody web savvy needs to make us an online clock, even though we don't have an official release date yet.
I have to admit the entire Bachelor album is hitting very close to home for me, and I am so ready for The Conqueror to bring me out of the clouds! Thanks to everybody for posting all the "maybe" songs! I can never get enough Patrick!

The Conqueror? Since he said Jan/Feb I put in 31st Jan.... It's just a Myspace countdown generator but there should be an official one!

I made a Wikipedia article about The Conqueror, so feel free to edit and update it as necessary.
