yes, mostly on the Japanese version CDs there are one or two bonus tracks on it. On the last J Mascis - Several Shades of Why CD (TRAFFIC / P Vine Records (JP) there were 2 bonus tracks.

The Japanese release date of Benediction is 2011/05/18 (a week before the 24th in US or 20th in the EU) but you have to pay more + shipping.

Japan: 2371yen/28 US$ + shipping
US: 14,05 US$ + shipping
EU: 15,99 €/23,11 US $ + shipping

This is the Japanese tracklist:

HSE-60065
Label: Hostess Entertainment

1. Benediction
2. Illuminine
3. Circulation
4. Blood Never Lies
5. Orchard Street
6. In Silver Rain with a Paper Key
7. Mina Loy

9. January 他

But I don't know the tracklist at the US or European versions!

Thurston Moore is releasing his new album Demolished Thoughts on May 24th, and we have a special treat for our mail order customers - CLEAR VINYL



Mail order vinyl will be on CLEAR VINYL and include a poster
LP includes download voucher

On Tuesday May 24, Matador will be releasing ‘Demolished Thoughts’, the 4th solo album from Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore (5th if you count 1998′s ‘Root’) and the first to be produced by Beck Hansen. Recorded in Los Angeles and Northampton, MA this past autumn & winter, with a title culled from The Faith’s “It’s Time”, ‘Demolished Thoughts’ is an equally beautiful and brooding work ; while there’s more than a few tonal similarities to some of your favorite Moore compositions from years past, the execution this time around is nothing short of staggering. No disrespect to 1995′s ‘Psychic Hearts’ or 2007′s ‘Trees Outside The Academy’ is intended on our part when we promise ‘Demolished Thoughts’ burnishes Thurston’s rep as a classic songwriter in ways we never anticipated when this album was first being talked about last year.

I made pre-order...I can´t wait!

Just glancing through the latest edition of Uncut (Dylan cover - imagine my surprise) - theres a small but positive review of DT.

Looks like there will be some sort of Japanese bonus track:

1.Benediction/2.Illuminine/3.Circulation/4.Blood Never Lies/5.Orchard Street/6.In Silver Rain with a Paper Key/7.Mina Loy/8.Space/9.January/10.This Train 3 (ボーナストラック)

Strange Ways Radio will be playing 'Illuminine' on Friday 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time Zone

why the hell is Matador charging $12 to ship a $12 CD to Europe? That's insane.
Love the Benediction track though, can't wait to hear the full album

they also charge $19 from vinyl-shipping. But that´s only money...

You can play the new track 'Circulation' here:

Looks like the "clear vinyl" version from matador is gone, future orders will ship on blue vinyl?

could any sweet soul fix Circulation for a man who doesn't have facebook? :D

what 4 albums is that press release referring to?

and if you're not on facebookrubbish, you can listen here: http://www.somekindofawesome.com/jou...d-by-beck.html

^Thank you.

I like this track better, I think.
