    Some info is taken from an old thread:

    Abel talked about the fact that if he went by the chronological order, the tracklist would be different:

    Love In The Sky
    Professional
    Kiss Land
    Live For
    Adaptation
    Wanderlust
    Belong To The World
    Tears In The Rain
    Pretty
    The Town

    Abel said (that if he put it chronologically the town would probably be the last song on the album. After he comes home from "kiss land")
    He said this in an interview on soundcloud where he was reviewing/talking about the Kiss Land tracks (the SC links are down, and I haven't found anything except a segment from youtube, link below)

    a user mentioned that Abel didn't want to go with the above order, "cause he was inspired by some movie where the scenes were all muddled or some s*** idk"

    can someone archive the interview? i cant rn but it would be a shame if we lose this

  • Feb 21, 2021

    been trying to find the full interview for a minute

    this is the only thing i can find on it (which is what he said in the video u linked in op)

    all those soundcloud links in the tweets are taken down

  • Feb 21, 2021

    I know he said The Town would be last but how do we know the rest of the order? Is it just an educated guess based on the content of each track? I’m way too restless to sit down and watch or read much.

  • Feb 21, 2021

    that's dope af, but i wish he made a full on kiss land film, the music would be so perfect

    Yup, BBC Radio 1 with Zanw Lowe. Apparently he has two, this one about Kiss Land, and another about Starboy.

    PS. He even made an acoustic session for BBC Radio Maida Vale, of which only s***ty youtube transcodes exist

    Really? That's interesting. How come?

    Just pieced together the narrative from the lyrics and the subtext. The instrumentals leaked a few years later and confirmed stuff like Pretty leading into The Town.

    I gotta say... when I read through the order you put together, it really does follow a specific story line. Good job on this. I'm gonna listen in that order today.

  • Mar 3, 2021

    nasty I love it

  • Now I need to relisten in that order. Lol

  • Mar 4, 2021

    You can’t just have Adaptation and Love in the Sky separate man
