Strangely enough, there is no information about this in any official PJ sources.

Turns out, this announcement (founded by Pluton) came out on January 8th, but I haven't seen it before, even though I check Google on a daily basis.

I have just registered on Spotify, but it won't play the song. Hope we'll hear it soon!!

BTW, duration of the song (05:38) is about a minute longer than live version from Royal Festival Hall (it's also identical to "All and Everyone"), so I guess the album version is also starts with the sample of Serbian orthodox church service with hand censer.

Maybe somebody confused the date and it was supposed to be February 14th (precisely a year since the end of "Recording in Progress", and 5 years since "LES")?

Just found this on a south-korean website. It seems that you can buy and download the song (if you live in Korea only...?).

You also can hear few seconds of "The Wheel" sutdio version. It sounds way different from live version.

http://music.bugs.co.kr/album/545432 - this page offers the same 1 minute teaser, it also offers mp3 or FLAC download, but I can't understand a thing.

That's all mighty strange.

Def very different from what we have heard, so everybody who was complaining the songs will be very different from what we heard. I love the dense instrumentation on the track though, even more than the I've version which i already liked very much.
