yeah i recommend that silent harbour album as well. reasonably priced on discogs at the moment: https://www.discogs.com/Silent-Harbour-Silent-Harbour/release/8649124

 

also recommend Recondite - Placid. it's a little more techno than ambient, but nice and minimal.

also recommend In The Wake Of The Dark Earth by D.Å.R.F.D.H.S.

Now that’s how you start a fucking Monday.  Got the Kompakt e-mail as I was walking into the building to sign in and start the day.  Can’t wait for Amoeba to put this up for $15 and then claim it was an accident.

That indeed sucked. Looks like this will be ~$29, so I'll wait for Amoeba + coupon. I was glad I waited on Narkopop and got it from Walmart.com for like $30.

For a double LP, $29 is bearable.

 

Narkopop for $30 is a steal though.  I definitely didn’t get a deal that savvy on it.  Walmart is the go-to for drone vinyl imports so that makes sense.

Narkopop for those that missed it. But, ugh...that PRICE! :unsure:

Should be around $59 shipped from Google Express/Walmart if you use the first-order coupon

Discogs has some decent deals on it, too ($50-55).

Thanks for the “heads up.”

 

I still think $50 is too much for a record though. <_<

As one of the first people to whine about bloated record price points, I can say that Narkopop is not your standard 2 LPs crammed into a gatefold.  3 slabs of vinyl on top of the CD, housed in a super thick hardcover “book” with quality art.  It’s less a record than it is a box set in my opinion.  Your appreciation may vary but I paid somewhere between $50 and $60 for mine and have nothing to gripe about.

I have not seen this in my hand yet, and thought it was packaged more like the former than the latter.

 

I remember paying $50+ for Sigur Rós “Takk,”  but being very happy with the purchase after seeing the quality of the cover, extra page gatefold, and even the bonus “hidden” record.

 

Glad the expensive Gas record is of similar quality.
