I picked up the repress from RSD several years back so I prolly won't double dip. But I am curious what the difference will be.

finally listened to the album yesterday and yeah it's great. a little too long, but that's a minor complaint.  was expecting there to be more variants of this after he had put out several different ones last album, but maybe they just stuck to black because of the vinyl production backlog..?

Shoot, I didn't even know the album came out last Friday! I really liked the first four songs released but the next four not quite as much.

Mike seems to think there will be 5000 pressed, which should make these easy to come by.

 

It also sounds like a lot of local shops will be getting them.

As suggested by him on The Facebook I reached out to my local store to see if they could order me a copy. They said they would look into it, but they "believe it might be a direct to customer release", whatever that means.

When we saw them, Korn, Rammstein, Ice Cube, and Orgy at the 98 Family Values date in Detroit we got there VERY early (a three hour plus drive was not something we wanted to leave up to chance driving through what can be unpredictable constriction all the way across the state). Fred was messing around on a scooter in the lot pre-show and people were just hanging out shooting the shit with him. Some girl was trying to hang on him with electrical tape on her nipples, but he wasn't giving her the attention she was after so she sulked away. Some kid asked him to sign his ticket "Fred Is God" and he said "can I sign it "Fred's a Fag?". Not exactly PC, but I came away from the whole experience thinking he was a pretty cool down to earth dude despite how huge they were at the time. I don't think I ever bothered much with anything post-Significant Other, but that was such a fun night despite the fact that my tastes couldn't be more different now. Wish we'd have gotten one of the Incubus dates later in the tour, but at least I got to see them before it all went to shit with SOAD and Mr. Bungle a couple years later.

I caught the final night of that first Family Values tour on Halloween in Fairfax, VA. First concert I ever bought tickets to and it changed my life! My friends and I didn't know 'bout Incubus replacin' Ice Cube, so we had no idea who they were, but they blew our teenage minds! Then later Rammstein were arrested in the middle of their performance and killed my night as they were the whole reason I was there in the first place.

😂😂 I actually loved the last album. Still need to track down a copy on vinyl, and the 7”. 

Yeah, I really enjoyed most of the self/untitled album, and LIFAD sounded so great to me after Reise, Reise and Rosenrot. Those two albums are easily my least favorite in their discography so far. Now I'm not super hyped on the new single so far, but I still think they'll deliver one more solid effort.

I'm lookin' to get a little advice from y'all. So my ol' Denon DRA-350 amplifier stopped workin' a while back, but I finally have some money I can use to maybe fix it. There's a shop near me that has quoted me roughly $250-300 to fix it (without knowing exactly what is wrong), but I'm a little nervous to spend the money. I had this thing repaired once before at a different place, and not six months later it stopped workin' again. That repair was to fix a channel that had shorted out.

So like the title says, should I invest more money into this amplifier, or look into a brand new one. My overall budget is roughly $400.

Nothing yet.

I messaged the band (Sammy) a month ago asking if there was an update with the production, but no reply yet.

The last vinyl update was a video of them running through the test press back in June. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was just thinkin' 'bout this yesterday! I'm gettin' a little agitated with the lack of updates especially as this was not a cheap purchase.

According to this podcast with Gavin that came out yesterday, I think the VHS vault thing could still be happening too! 

Also, 2 albums worth of dredg material in demo form right now (will likely be cut down for release)

 

Whatever they release I’m pretty much in to buy it. I’ve loved dredg since somewhere ‘round 1999/2000 when an ol’ Internet friend sent me “Of the Room” from their industry demo and mp3s of “Leitmotif”. Sure, “Chuckles & Mr. Squeezy” was not up to par, but it was much more a collaboration with the producer than a traditional band album from them. And those songs live were pretty good!

If you don’t wanna pay their prices, don’t. Maybe it’ll send the message that they’re chargin’ too much. Except all of their vinyl releases have sold out and end up even more overpriced on the resale market. Complain all you want, folks. I’m gonna sit back and enjoy their tunes on vinyl or whatever format I choose at this point, and wait with baited breath on live show or general tour announcement!

With the booklet I decided to pick up a second copy and let my OG rest. And super excited to check out the makin’ of “Leitmotif” video on YouTube this Friday. I thought they were originally gonna release in on VHS, but kinda glad they may have decided not to do that. I’m not so sure that any kinda archive release will hold up their new material as they’ve had over a year to decide what to do, like most other bands.

With Black Map’s third album delayed to early next year I could see the new dredg album bein’ pushed back further. But I still believe it’ll be worth the wait. 

Dependin’ on the packagin’, I may want in on this.

I could get behind this.

Remainin’ stock of “In the Dead, Dead Wood” on vinyl is up on his bandcamp! Picked up a copy of the red vinyl and I can’t wait!

I’ve only use Bull Moose online a few times to find RSD exclusives, but not after this. Fuck ‘em.

Good "comedy" piece, but tbh I don't understand why anyone would buy comedy on vinyl anymore. Made sense when that was the best way to own audio, but now?

I just completed my Bill Hicks collection with the third vinyl released posthumously. It has extra material not featured on the CD release, but I guess I could’ve just bought the material digitally.

But fuck that ‘cause it’s fuckin’ Bill Hicks!

I hope this is true, since I balked the first time around am regretting it! 

I can’t find the Instagram post now, but I swear I saw it a while back. Same with some kinda confirmation of a “Leitmotif” repress. They may be part of the box set they had talked ‘bout in early 2019 before COVID shut down all their plans. Either way I am hopeful that after summer there may be more news.

I know Mark’s other band (Black Map) should have their third album out sometime this year, so I imagine that will be his main focus through the end of the year.

By absolute sheer coincidence, 4 months after the initial shipping, the record turned up today! Although at the Merchnow office instead of my house but they have arranged a reshipping of the record. I really hope it'll make it this time, I'd be glad if i didn't have to pay 200+ for this 😅

I hope it makes it to you this time!

Hi guys, sorry for the bump. I wrote in the Sell/Buy/Trade section a few days ago and thought i'd try here at last.

My order has gotten lost during transit. Neither DHL nor USPS can tell me or the merchnow staff where it went and what happened to it. German customs couldn't help either. Over 3 months after the initial shipping all parties told me that I shouldn't expect the package to still turn up, great stuff.

So now I'm trying to get the record through other means. If anyone here wants to sell their copy or a spare one i would really, really appreciate that DM! Thanks!

That absolutely fuckin’ sucks! While I’m not willin’ to part with my copy, there may be a super limited colored vinyl in the works. I believe Drew mentioned it in an Instagram post a few months ago after the initial pressin’ sold out. If I hear/see anythin’ I’ll let you know!

Says it ended on 14.May at 8:30pm.

Lemme know when FFVI gets a vinyl release and I’m all in! Maybs FFIV. Other than that I don’t care.

Also, seriously, Xenogears.

I’m tempted with “Decadence”, but then I think back and I’m all: “When was the last time I listened to that album?”

I dunno. I absolutely love his first two albums, and quite enjoyed everythin’ from Junip, but his last album just didn’t do much to me. These first two singles aren’t doin’ anythin’ to impress me yet.

At least they have given updates on the delays as best they can.

Some dude on Reddit is sayin’ “Leitmotif” 20th anniversary package and new album this year. Also has quite the dredg collection with two tapes of as yet unheard versions of “Orph” and “Leitmotif”. Allegedly unmastered, demos, or alternate takes of said material.

Gonna post these in here since they are anime related, but we should definitely start an anime specific thread.

Found these pre-orders on CDJapan after browsing their site:

 

Kimagure Orange Road: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/series/839?term.media_format=vinyl&page=1&order=popular

 

Demon Slayer: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/VVJL-5?s_ssid=e341866006bdd68919

 

They also have the Promare OST in stock, but I believe Milan has teased a U.S. release: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/SVWJ-70457?s_ssid=e47f7d6006bec2efb9

 

Found this link when looking for the Milan version of Promare: https://www.normanrecords.com/records/184937-hiroyuki-sawano-promare-original-soundtrack

Damn, I’d be all ‘bout those KOR soundtracks, but not at that price! And shippin’ that from Japan, ouch!
