I'm glad we have it all now.

[@inklingtile45782]

I love this album so much! I just love “Last Time” and “Under the Birdbath” so much!

[@asifshakingthetree]

Thank you! -- I'm planning on doing a breakdown of "Last Time" sometime in the near future...

[@inklingtile45782]

@@asifshakingthetree nice!

[@materiagrezza9331]

Only two albums released almost 30 years ago, but nonetheless they slap. They'll go straight to my "90s soundscape" playlist on my old beat up MP3 player I bring with me while traveling.

[@asifshakingthetree]

Amazing! That’s awesome.thank you for adding us!

[@nyankitttyy]

im really loving how we lost one of their songs, and then got so many songs from them. being in the lostwave community is really cool, man.

[@DBZdude95]

The tune playing now is sooo good man

[@cocogoatmilk1514]

I need this album on spotify!

[@JayRidders]

You know, a recording of the music video for the first track “Under the Birdbath,” can actually be found on KZbin. Even though it’s in low quality, it’s cool seeing another music video by Big Picture other than “Just Passin’ By.” kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGfKXmNjnrxkms0si=dxl_sC5IIVca8DbF

[@jennydeaf9O9]

omg yay thanks!

[@cocogoatmilk1514]

Under the birdbath gives mad Oasis vibes. I really want this album on spotify.

[@iplaycomputer]

amazing music!!! glad these are available to the public again, its a pleasure to be able to listen to them :-)

[@rafal-z2d]

[@uncooldispatch5438]

I’m so bloody glad I had the video on an old vhs for yall 😂❤

[@uncooldispatch5438]

I wanted this cd , but was too lazy to buy off discogs! Thank you 🙏

[@jzc3011]

It came from South Korea’s DC Inside Lost Media Gallery.

[@nicholaspierson2005]

This is amazing and cool!

[@alexmacleod3728]

The First Song gives me XTC Vibes

[@rafal-z2d]

hell yeah!

[@guesst234]

tallyhall and weezer if they had a collab

[@okjeffy6581]

These songs give me vibes to another Canadian band.

[@LOC-Ness]

immaculate mid 90s vibes

[@phaznnn]

You should upload this album to digital platforms, it's very good

[@robaqueso9849]

Hi asif, thank you for uploading all these, they are ver pleasent to hear. I was wondering if you are going to upload these on any streaming plataform, like, spotify, iTunes? thank you so much, appreciate your music.

[@CutieFakeKirby]

he actually did upload some stuff in apple music, so get prepared 👍

[@asifshakingthetree]

Hello! Yes … I’ve been in touch with the whole band and our version of the album is now on streaming services . Thanks so much for the support .

[@CutieFakeKirby]

@@asifshakingthetree let's gooooo :D

[@lowbudgetproduction7089]

this is amazing!

[@Ike_From_Discord]

I understand you've said that "You're working on It" but just curious to know what work needs to be done for this to be put to digital platforms (i.e Spotify, Apple Music, etc.)

[@asifshakingthetree]

Because this was not an independent recording - it was recorded by a record company at that time, it’s not up to us to be able to make it digitally available - the likelihood is low that it will be released on digital streaming…unfortunately… until anything changes, this would be the only digital version to listen to…

[@Ike_From_Discord]

@@asifshakingthetree yeah that definitely sums it up

[@asifshakingthetree]

Thanks for understanding… I’ll be doing some contest giveaways for that physical CD in the future…

[@Ike_From_Discord]

​@asifshakingthetree wait but the Just Passin' By Remix made in 1995' for the re-release was also done with the record label

[@cooler444]

WOOOW! I don't believe!

[@xferospore]

zamn its really good

[@asifshakingthetree]

Thank you!

[@beterotato6757]

I might be tripping, but some of the songs on this album seriously remind me of the Beatles style they are that good.

[@shadhog0187]

The use of sitars definitely remind me of their psychedelic era

[@asifshakingthetree]

Thanks so much… that’s a hefty comparison! Humbled! :)

[@microwavecucumber33]

Will this album also be uploaded to Spotify?

[@UpgradeUrWinRARTrial]

Will this album be uploaded to streaming services alongside Just Passing By? Hopefully it can be (and the audio glitch at 28:38 fixed)

[@asifshakingthetree]

The actual album is on streaming now…

[@awesomenesswithcharlie2016]

@@asifshakingthetree I can't seem to find it on Apple Music. Could you please provide a link?

[@UpgradeUrWinRARTrial]

@@asifshakingthetree I can’t find this album (Big Picture - Big Picture) anywhere on Apple Music. I see “Just Passin By” but not this one unfortunately

[@taylorpagani9515]

These are so good. The heck were these not doing uploaded already? lol

[@asifshakingthetree]

Thank you! This music was in that strange phase between analogue and digital… and we had formed into a different band, MIR, when the digital age arrived…. So Big Picture was lost through the crevasse between the old days of music media and the new… thanks to you guys, we dug up the old tunes and dusted them off for ya! Cheers and thanks!

[@asifshakingthetree]

Much love to you all…. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5XadJh5l7Stq7csi=nEPEnyPXAD1uTA6W

[@jimmybean30]

Was there any other music videos made other then the ones for Under the birdbath and Just passin by?

[@asifshakingthetree]

No there were not any made for big picture. It was a time where that sort of thing required lots of resources, etc. However, there are more videos from the band that big picture evolved to become called “MIR” … they are hard to find and I will be uploading some to here soon… thanks for watching!

[@Ike_From_Discord]

​@@asifshakingthetree I would love to see em'

[@uncooldispatch5438]

Spotify ?

[@Elmelenas123.]

38:05 It sounds great

[@ModMaid]

Does anyone know if these 2 releases are on vinyl or should I be looking for CDs?

[@rafal-z2d]

only CDs, and also a cassette for just passin by

[@shadhog0187]

There's some audio glitch at 28:38

[@okjeffy6581]

I think that was intentional

[@shadhog0187]

this album fucks

[@ingridelijah251]

🤤 Promo sm

[@ohnothimagen224]

Have any plans on putting this album and the other one on bandcamp, I feel like I should support what you did for the Lost media community. If it wasn't for you the song would otherwise still be missing. Thank you so much for your hard work and effort!!

[@rafal-z2d]

well said. i also want to show my support!

[@man_mojack]

I'd definitely support it through Bandcamp!

[@asifshakingthetree]

The first album is up on streaming services now! Maybe a few days wait for Spotify….Thanks so much for the support!

[@asifshakingthetree]

Thank you so much. I will look into doing this somehow for you! :)
