I received "Behold the Abyss" by Those Poor Bastards yesterday & it's great! Definitely going to be ordering "The Plague" & "Gospel Haunted" LPs soon.

Should be receiving the split pic LP by DeathStench/Trepaneringsritualen on Malignant Records later in the week.

[tonyandrewgiles]

Picked this up after seeing it on Spencer's year end list.

Not a soundtrack but really could be.

Ricardo Donoso - As Iron Sharpens Iron - fluro pink vinyl.

[siforster]

New Pixies EP:



Vast improvement over EP1, but Frank's view that Greens and Blues (lovely as it is) is a Gigantic-beater is a tad wide of the mark.

Also Ed Harcourt's new (& spooky) Mini LP Time Of Dust is rather fantastic - 1s and 0s for now, vinyl out in Feb

[tonyandrewgiles]

Just picked up the new Pye Corner Audio - Black Mill Tapes Vol 3&4



Plus both Ricardo Donoso 12" that make up the album.
As Iron Sharpens Iron/One Verse Sharpens Another.

[tonyandrewgiles]

Arrived in the mail today.

Persekutor (Romanian black metal) - Power Frost.
White vinyl Record Store Day Black Friday release.

[hncreature]

Nice tonyandrewgiles! I did the same and picked up both the 12"s myself...As Iron Sharpens Iron on pink and One Verse Sharpens Another on black...good stuff!

[tonyandrewgiles]

@hncreature - Really digging those and the Pye Corner Audio. Well worth checking out if you've not heard it yet

[siforster]

Looking forward to going shopping on Monday - Bill Callahan (dub!), Snowbird, Mogwai. And maybe Warpaint too if I'm feeling saucy.

[tonyandrewgiles]

Love the Mogwai, just need to actually pick up a copy

[siforster]

The Guardian is doing a stream of the Mogwai one for UK types at the mo (and a Solaris mix!), it's sounding very good - follows on nicely from their Les Revenants soundtrack from last year which I absolutely loved.

For my metal friends I highly recommend Beast in the Field. Instrumental black/stoner/doom. The packaging on their LP's is really unusual and elaborate. The music itself is just extremely heavy. A 2 piece, guitar and drums. Have seen them live and it's almost too loud to handle really. YouTube video below

I grabbed Space Lady's Greatest Hits, but unfortunately missed out on the spatter coloured vinyl by going with a local retailer. I don't often go into buying a special edition after I've bought the regular, but since I'd been waiting for this release for so long, I may seek one out.

Also picked up The Emerald Web: The Stargate Tapes in that same batch.

I highly recommend them both.

[siforster]

Just ordered this re-release of Tycho's Past Is Prologue from Ghostly - nice package, 2x160g LPs, very BoC/Stratus/Bibio-esque in a sunshiney way.

[4000days]

@bansel THANK YOU for the heads up on Beast in the Field - never heard them before and LOVING them right now.

[siforster]

Both Indie Store versions - Mogwai with bonus track 7", Warpaint on 2xRed vinyl, side 4 etched.

[DISCOSUCKS...]

The Space Lady LP is indeed amazing...love her style, voice, story.

[hncreature]

Hmm. Was expecting more than this today, but I'm not going outside to find out where the rest is, the weather's gone mad...






New Bibio EP on translucent green




Snowbird (Simon Raymonde from Cocteau Twins & Stephanie Dosen, plus assorted Radiohead/Midlake types) on white, plus bonus disc of the entire remixed album.

[monsterworship]

The whole package is great.

[bansel]

a good mail delivery today!

Jim Guthrie's Sword & Sworcery -The Ballad of The Space Babies


La Porta Ermetica-Alessandro Parisi (Giallo Disco)


Umberto-From The Grave

[hncreature]

Did your La Porta Ermetica-Alessandro Parisi look like it was borrowed by that guy who doesn't know how to handle Lps then shipped by the same guy when it arrived - Thankfully it is just a blank sleeve and the record...albeit had a good amount of stuff and fingerprints all over wasn't broken...cleaned up just fine

[bansel]

@hncreature haha I DID think it was unusually dirty when it arrived, but I guess given the trip from Austria to Detroit I should be thankful it's in one piece.
I do wonder about Giallo Discos's preference to not use cover art for their LP covers and go the techno route with just plain black or white sleeves. Perhaps it's a matter of keeping costs low or maybe a statement to just to keep it about the music. Would have loved to read some liner notes though about the artist, recording, etc. oh well.

The record did sound great, so I salute GD for another fine release

[tonyandrewgiles]

Only just got around to picking this up dispite it being one of my favourite releases of last year.

Paul Jebanasam - Rites.

[siforster]

Should have had the new Bill Callahan, I Break Horses and Sleepy Sun records by now, but they've all been delayed. Someone somewhere needs to invest in new pressing plants.

On a cheerier note, new Sun Kil Moon CD has arrived today, 10 days early.

[Bub]

I just received the Rave Tapes Loser Edition today. Man, that is some thin ass vinyl they pressed it on.
