As of today, the House EP is available on iTunes. Tracklisting: 01 - House 02 - Mercia 03 - Divine Intervention 04 - House (Video) Divine Intervention!!! Nice surprise, Patrick! Yes, the preview of Divine Intervention seems amazing... And Mercia would be lovely to be able to listen to, since it's only iTunes or vinyl, but for some reason they're not available in the Swedish iTunes store (neither is Lupercalia) so I can only hear the previews in the UK store... What's the deal with limiting the digital releases like this? Fans outside of the UK aren't worth these songs? And while I'm at it, why can't I buy the portraits without having to buy the whole Lupercalia album AGAIN? I've already paid for it more than twice, having ordered the box set AND the Play.com version. So, sorry for the angry/disappointed rant. Hope you UK people enjoy the new songs anyhow.  /t |

sorrow By Nature well I bought the Lupercalia Deluxe thingy on iTunes, because it was the fastest way to get to hear the songs (was released shortly after midnight on the 17th, because in Germany we have friday releases - don't ask me why dunno  ) The videos are hd and all, but if you don't want to spend money on it again, why not download the youtube videos? (yeah I know kind of illegal, but when you put it on youtube that's what happens, and if it's only for the portraits...that's in the grey zone between legal and illegal for me  ). You could also just simply resell one of your Lupercalia cds (the one in the box set?) and keep the signed one. If you don't want to resell the box thing in the future, I don't see a problem there unless you are a completist...and it would save you some bucks. okay, so if you didn't want to hear my unrequested opinion, don't get mad at me, I'm just suggesting what you could do

thehazelwoodfayeI don't mind your suggestions at all. Don't worry. I am a terribly completist, though. I am definitely no stranger to a bit of internet "piracy" but I try to only use it as a last resort solution or to try new music before deciding what to buy and whatnot. (I am very bad at actually buying software etc, though. ) I simply would prefer to buy the videos separately because I already have a digital copy (legitimate review copy) and don't see why I (or anyone) should have to pay for all the music yet again to get a little part of the package, especially when it's been paid for two or three times already (seeing as it's the same songs on cd and vinyl). And I don't see any good reason for why I am not even ABLE to legitimately buy mp3 copies of Mercia and Divine Intervention. I'll get it all, eventually, so I'm currently just a bit frustrated that I can't get it all around the release date. I love the portraits and wish there were extended versions of them for all of lupercalia. Like slow motion music videos to get me in the right mood. /t

THANK YOU Tommy this is exactly the same mind frame I'm in...I haven't attempted to buy the House EP on Ireland's iTunes yet so I don't know if I will encounter any other problems...I completely agree about the Portraits haha and I was just gonna say ''Oh but Tommy is THE completist'' haha. When I do buy the iTunes Lupercalia for the Portraits I will own 5 copies of Lupercalia...with a potential of 2 more to make it 7  |

And two more won't suffice when we're most likely getting limited edition US, Japan, Korea etc etc etc editions with tiny extras as well. I know ALL about those releases. /t |

To anyone outside the UK: I can purchase Divine Intervention three times so if anyone is interested I can get it for you and then send it no problem. It counts as sales and it is a legal download so I think it is ok  |

In my case there'll be 1) Play.com Edition 2) Super Bundle LP 3) Super Bundle CD (Lemurilia) 4) iTunes Deluxe for the portraits 5) Then just a standard CD when I buy it And just a standard LP too I'd say. Plus then the America, Korea editions etc like you said |

okay, now I have to say it: you guys drive me insane! hopefully that completist-virus never spreads so far that I catch it ;D haha! But have fun with your zillions of formats aso... wait, I'm already contemplating to buy a turntable since I'm infected with Patrick Wolf mania...and I ordered the superdeluxe box (with the CD!)... it's already starting! help! |

Good...Good! My plan is working, soon you will be suffocated with completisitis just like the rest of it. I bought a vinyl player recently. Wasn't cheap but super cool |

Okay, I've acquired the EP now and I have to say that it's amazing.
I can see why these tracks were left off the album, but it's not because they're bad in any way, but dark and complex in a pre-TMP way. What I'm still wondering though, is why Patrick's vocals are so high-pitched in Divine Intervention. Is the entire track a little bit off or is this an intended effect for just the vocals? Would someone with a Twitter account mind asking Patrick about it? Would be sad if the track had just been distorted while uploaded to iTunes.

I ran Divine Intervention through Adobe Audition (audio editing software) and timestretched it about ten seconds so it's now 4:00 instead of 3:49 and now the vocals seem more normal. I'd still like to know if it's an error or the way it was meant to be.
