@Shazamerrooni serious! it does the same for me too. first time i heard it, it totally reminded me of Christmas. Its such a unique and serene sound. Reminds me of cold weather and the holidays!
Dude, I swear to god. That synth chorus in the beginning of this song is sampled from the theme of Laputa: Castle in the sky by Hayao Miyazaki. Maps just accelerated the tempo so it is difficult to recognize.
It's a shame god music like this doesn't get played here in the states very much. if it got better promotion it would probably be just as big of a smash hit here as it would be on the east side of the pond.
TOTALLY. the US is all about shit music. HELL when I was in australia they played GREAT music on the radio.. like empire of the sun and ladyhawk and just absolutely great shit.
@poirotgrl Too right....sounds to me like an artist who is wearing his influences on his sleeve, but is way beyond mere emulation. This is a fantastic song and a great genre busting album!
anyone who live sin the UK you are ALL lucky. Turning the Mind comes out tomorrow AND you get a bonus track. i have to wait another day and I don't think we get the bonus track.
i wish Maps made some B-sides to this single and "Let Go of the Fear", the dubs aren't that good.

Interesting how Maps and Keane, though completely different, have approachingly similar sounds in their newest work.
Maps is by far the better, though :)
