The Matt Berry one is superb, and has the best back cover photo I've seen in ages! Really glad it's not as self-consciously 'silly' as his last one was in places, he's really very good at what he does and it provided much of the background to get me into A Field In England (along with Wolf People's Fain - an absolute corker), which is probably why the film freaked me out as much as it did! (especially the commentary when the sound engineer gets involved in a conversation about the Brown Note)

The Night Terrors one is amazing, and not just because of the vinyl itself... every time I hear the word "theramin" I get put in the mindset of schlocky 50s/60s woooOOOoo noises (although as I found out when doing a post on this record, all of those noises in all of those films were the work of pretty much one man), I certainly wasn't expecting it to be played as beautifully as it is here.

[siforster]

I bought Shapwick on a whim as I managed to talk myself out of it last time (the long-eared owl version) and was determined not to miss out again (although thanks to Paypal being momentarily arsey, I nearly did again!). It reminds me loads of that Camberwick Green innocence (before Half Man Half Biscuit came along and shattered that for me), and the Bat Walk is frankly hillarious

[Ubik]

The Deadly Spawn OST : Retro and amusing, love the film... the music really stands up on its own too.

DVVLLXNS (Jon Porras) : LXTVNY EP : Lovely drone-scapes with hypnotic percussion / beats. Quality.

Bardo Pond - RSD 12" : Perfect Bardo Pond jams, delivering everything I expect and want from them.

King Crimson - Red (200g vinyl reissue) - Sounds superb, certified classic.

I think my repress of the new Soundcarriers analog remix LP* (some of which will appear on their even newer LP, their first for Ghost Box) arrived when I was out, I'll find out tomorrow.
If I'm really lucky, my Grant Hart double will also be there (a 2-disc concept album from someone out of Husker Du, concerning Paradise Lost. What's not to love?), otherwise I'll have another bloody "while you were out" card when I get home tomorrow as well.


* Already sold out according to Piccadilly Records - only 500 issued (or 250 depending on where you read it)...

[siforster]

Oh, bugger it - just forked out for the Eat Lights Become Lights album as well, mostly because it's lovely, partly because it's stripey.

Turns out that the mystery parcel was in fact an Ariel Pink/Jorge Elbrecht 7".

And I arrive home tonight to find that there's another 2 parcels at the sorting office... argh

EDIT: 2 parcels = Grant Hart & Soundcarriers (which was ltd to 250 after all). And I get home and there's another card from the postie... no idea what that one is, so tomorrow morning will be fun.

And the Soundcarriers album is astounding - Ghost Box have signed another winner, can't wait for their GB debut later this year. Until then, this one sounds just as good as it looks:

[Oswarez]

Bought Sigur Ros's Kveikur. Incredible album. I haven't been too keen on their previous albums but this one ranks near the top. Almost every track a winner.

[siforster]

I've got Kveikur here (going to see them at Jodrell Bank under the Lovell Telescope next month!), not listened to it yet though - having them blurt out at the front of every Youtube vid for the past month or so here has seen them put on the naughty step until I get those first couple of chords out of my head for a bit

[siforster]

Well, I was promised stripey and that's what I got.

[fanboy]

I made my weekly visit to flip through the used bins today. I picked up these gems.

Black Sabbath feat. Tony Iommi - Seventh Star
The Ramones - Road to Ruin
Tomita - Pictures at an Exhibition

[dob66]

Great record-can't go wrong with great pop supplement/deep distance...think the deep distance releases might go down well on this board

[ghostfires]

@Si and @dob66 - either of you happen to know any US distributors that carry GPS records? That Eat Lights Become Lights record sounds really nice after listening to some samples, I'd love to pick it up...

[siforster]

Just sitting down properly with the ELBL record and I'm really loving it - it's sort of like a slightly less '80s indie-tinged Baltic Fleet. Not sure about how to get GPS stuff overseas, sorry.

[siforster]

And while I'm here, it's my civic duty or something to mention that the Jon Brooks' Shapwick reissue is down to the last few copies (4 as of two hours ago) from Clay Pipe Records. It really is a lovely record, and unless it comes out again (with a different owl on the back cover again! 1st press has a long-eared one, current one is barn flavoured), it'll be gone for good.

Thanks Si for the heads-up I managed to bag the very last copy of the Shapwick reissue! Looking forward to giving it a spin.

@darkwaves - i'm not sure if you're just talking about one of the last copies direct from the label or not...but you can still order Shapwick from Experimedia.net. I just picked up a copy this afternoon, only $25 + shipping...not too bad for such an awesome record!
