  1. That's cool. I didn't know they had this many releases on vinyl. Seems almost all of it is very rare though, which is sad. Not fond of dishing out 50€ for one record....yet. Plus couldn't find the split with Red Sparowes anywhere. Which one of Rest is which? I'm kind of digging the full artwork more. According to Discogs, that's the European version, right? Also, off the Kora site it would seem that theirs is the one on the left.
  2. Ordered mine from Dischord and am very bummed on the condition that the package arrived in. It came in some very flimsy cardboard, had only a shipping sleeve around it. The sleeve of the record has noticeable ringwear, with wrinkles along the shape of the records, a corner dinged and the vinyl had also ripped through the upper side of the vinyl sleeve. Yet to listen to it though. After I do, I'm sure I won't mind the condition of the sleeve too much.
  3. And both of those are already out of stock on the Pelican merch site...
  4. Dang, have to snag this. *Edit - This sold out insanely fast. I thought for sure it would still be available when the site went back up.
  5. Seems like the US pressing goes better with the cover, the snowy mountains and glaciers represented by the grey and the dark streaks being like the rocky mountains in between. In this sense I'm actually glad that the translucent grey that they had noted on their site came out to be rather a grey marble. Or maybe it's just the geek in me that adores matching covers and vinyl. The European version is exactly what came to mind when I thought of "translucent grey". In this light, anyone happen to have an extra grey copy their willing to part with? So bummed that I've missed out on every single Russian Circles release thus far. The worst having been to their gig over here before I had got into vinyl and buying the CD version of Empros instead of the tour version of the vinyl they had (likely) brought over with them. *Edit. Beat me to it.
  6. Adrift for Days psychedelic/doom epic 'Come Midnight...' is getting a vinyl release through Doognad Records on on 28 November 2013. Sydney's Adrift for Days have made their name with an introspective blend of psychedelic rock, post-metal, doom and drone. Their sophomore album, 'Come Midnight...', is an ambitious sonic journey that draws on the traditions of Earth, Neurosis, Boris, Pink Floyd and Rosetta. When originally released through Art As Catharsis in late 2012, 'Come Midnight...' was met with near-universal acclaim; being named Brag's Album of the Week, as well as making many 'best of 2012' lists. Now upcoming Norwegian label Doognad is re-releasing 'Come Midnight...' in all its glory as a 2x12" gatefold vinyl package. Pre-orders are available now. For fans of: Earth, Electric Wizard, Cult of Luna, The Doors, Monster Magnet and Neurosis. 100 x clear/black splatter vinyl 200 x black vinyl Side A: Premonition Void, The Aftermath Side B: House of Cards The Stonebreaker Side C: Back of the Beyond Gravity Well Side D: Eyes Look Down From Above “The only journey is the one within.” – Rainer Maria Rilke On “Come Midnight”, Adrift for Days have retained the smoky, psychedelic, heaviness that they’ve become known for, while also ambitiously expanding their sound. This sprawling album incorporates elements of doom, drone, stoner, sludge, blues, ambience, psychedelic rock, and post-metal. As a result, the album as a whole is hard to pin Down to a single style or genre. The concept behind “Come Midnight…” is grounded in an existential search for meaning in a universe that at times can seem pitiless and indifferent. This is not a simplistic glorifi cation of drug-taking; nor is it an album that falls into the trappings of vague, occultist worship. “Come Midnight…” is an intense, dynamic and deeply personal album that takes you for a nightmarish trek into the depths of man’s soul. It the soundtrack for journeyers, for seekers, and for wanderers engaged in their own search. We sincerely hope you enjoy it. Pre-order date: Oct 29th Release date: Nov 28th "Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Adrift for Days are an underground stoner/doom quintet playing a diverse mix of styles described as “smoked-out psychedelic dronefuzz”. The band mixes a heavily psychedelic blues-based foundation with stoner rock, doom, sludge, post-rock, post-metal and drone. They cite their influences as Earth, Jimi Hendrix, YOB, The Doors, Neurosis, Pink Floyd, Rosetta and Boris - amongst many others." Ordered the ltd splatter just a second ago myself. Render looks amazing If you need help deciding, you can get both of their albums in any format off Bandcamp. http://artascatharsis.bandcamp.com/album/come-midnight http://adriftfordays.bandcamp.com/album/the-lunar-maria
