I highly recommend this thread listen to Bibio- Phantom Brickworks. It's an amazing ambient album, probably in my top 3 this year. Missed out on the deluxe/100 but what can ya do. If you're a fan of ambient works 2 by Aphex Twin you'll love this. 

solid rec

loving this album

capel celyn reminds me of rhubarb

thanks

Unfortunate that it's Jagjaguwar again.  Great label with horrible QA/QC on their vinyl releases.  Wouldn't be surprised if this is also a noisy press.  

Used the sleeves for hundreds of records.

Got a bad batch that scratched a handful of my new albums, a few out of print Grouper albums too.  Tons of hairline scratches that weren't there before.

Emailed the company and they admitted there was a bad batch.  Wouldn't do anything about it though.

Threw all the Diskeeper 2.0 away immediately.

Scratches like this across both sides, on many albums:

August 19th - Dead Oceans

2xLP Deep Cuts Edition

Can't wait

Yeah, I can't seem to find it anywhere.  I remember it being readily available about a year or so ago.  

Love Barna Howard.  My 'Quite a Feelin' copy sounds fantastic.  Wish I could find his s/t LP though.

Also, if you're looking to pick up the Barna Howard album, it's only $12 at Little Axe/Mississippi.  Shipping is around $3.50.  http://www.littleaxerecords.com/distributed-titles.html

Love everything about seam splits.

Mostly the people that complain and return them.  I pick them up for >50% off because of a minor seam split.  I have many like that.  Doesn't bother me.

Part of the hobby.  Deal with it or gtfo.  

Very cool.  Was just listening to her this morning and wondering where the new album was.  

Very cool.  Due to this, the Azur 551/651 have been discounted.  551P for $99 is a great deal imo.

Nice Oh Sees print

Every album has a defect under certain lighting.  If you play the record you will realize it is only cosmetic.  Does not affect playback.  Silly reviewer.  

Is Fat Possum ever not on sale?  Between sales from the label, Best Buy, and Amazon, you can guarantee they are always on sale.

Loved Antidotes

Total Life Forever grew on me

Holy Fire did nothing for me

Still looking forward to this album.  Love Foals.  

Nice.  Glad I picked up a copy a few years ago when I heard they were going to be discontinued.  Still, everybody should have access to owning that phenomenal album.  One of my favorites.  

Awesome.  I've been wanting to pick up Comfort of Strangers at a reasonable price for a while.  Sugaring Season is one of my favorite albums.  So beautiful.  Love Beth.  

Loved Bad Vibes 

I've given Dark Red a few listens before deciding whether I should pick up the vinyl copy.  It's really not doing anything for me though.  Seems like he took away everything I loved from Bad Vibes and made it sound like generic electronic-based music.  I really want to enjoy it.  Maybe I'll give it a few more listens.  

Am i the only still having problems with Sacred Bones? 36 days after order, and tracking number that still says label created, and multiple unresponded to emails...time for a claim.

 

IS this normal with them?

I've had Sacred Bones send me the wrong records.  They're typically fast to respond and sorted everything out.  They also covered shipping.  It was a pain, but it turned out fine.  I think they're only a 2 person operation, so it might be slow.  

Received a record today in a mailer.  Great condition.  I have never had a problem with Hastings and have ordered several dozen records from them.  No complaints here.  

Ordered OK Computer from B&N.  Found a 20% off coupon code and ordered a cheap book for the kid to get free shipping.  Now I just cross my fingers to hope they are still shipping the Parolophone pressing.

Looks like most Radiohead albums on B&N are labeled Parlophone.  That would be awesome if true.  Let us know what you receive.  

Hastings has sales all the time.  They have relatively low prices and cheap shipping costs.  Most likely they were inundated with orders due to an error on their part with the sale honoring more than one item.  You should be happy they are not canceling orders.  Settle down.  

Wish I wasn't broke.  I'll just wait for black.  Awesome news though.  Love Mikal Cronin.  

The soundtrack hype is hilarious.  Never understood it.  I like the songs in a movie because of how well they are placed within.  If I want a mix I will make it.  I think it's the top contender for dollar bins in the future alongside Grease, The Big Chill, and Animal House.  

Julie Byrne - Rooms With Walls and Windows.

More of an acoustic album, but I think you will like it.  One of my favorites of 2014.  Check out the songs 'Emeralds' 'Young Wife' and 'Holiday'.  Beautiful music.

My purple sounds great.  Maybe 10-20 seconds total of surface noise through out the entire album, but that could be due to a cleaning issue.  Gonna spin it now actually.  

Rabbit Fur Coat is fantastic. One of my favorite modern folk/country records.

Agreed.  It really is a phenomenal album.  I'd check that out first.  Acid Tongue took me a while to really get into.  Some of the songs are hit or miss for me.  'Trying My Best to Love You' and 'Sing a Song for Them' are some of my favorites.
