  1. It's totally true that mood can really turn me off a release.  As well, sometimes I just don't have patience for the slow build, which I think may have been my initial issue with the Tumpisa and the Troum releases.

     

    B&B is one of My favourites.  I have the vinyl and the cd version with the cardstock sleeve and the extra demo disc. 

     

    I have a couple nit-picky beefs with the vinyl - first they shortened the songs for the vinyl version. Also, the cd cover is rectangular to fit the artwork.  For the vinyl, they stretched the cover art to fit the 12 x 12 cover and I just never felt like it looked as good. Perhaps I was biased from having the CD version first. Regardless, it is still amazing.

     

    For what is worth, I think that Infinite Light release is brilliant. The music is subtle and serene with hints of unease - pretty different from much of AB's catalogue (at lease what I've heard).  For me it is a great late night listen.  I also love the artwork and think the Brown/Black version (which I have) adds to the overall presentation.

     

    I've ordered a few things directly from Aidan through the Broken Spine store and through his discogs (adn).  Added requests for them to sign stuff and they've always been cool about it.  I also met them at a show in T.O. a couple years ago and asked them to sign a few things there too. . . had a chance to chat with them for a bit.  Both were super nice.

  2. K/W here

    There's a place called Chit Chat's Express (www.chitchatsexpress.com)...

    Wow, I have never heard of that company - thanks for that tip. . . unfortunately, K/W is just a bit too far away from Mississagua to make this viable for me, especially taking their hours into account (10-5, M-F)

  3. Nadja / 5/5/2000 Tumpisa LP /525 Black, includes CD (Accident Prone Records) - cleaned, played once NM/NM

     

    Nadja / Troum Dominium Visurgis LP /300 Black (Denovali Records) - unplayed, sealed, I think, and M/NM as well

     

    Are you familiar with those? Interested?

     

    I took notes on every Nadja release and track, not too detailed, but enough to jog my memory, esp. which ones were a boom or a bust - or, on the fence. I need to look up what is still missing, like the CD/DVD set we just traded for -- I remember the the live were 3 of my favorite tracks, and they sounded incredible.

    I'll have to give them another listen.  I don't remember them grabbing me, but then again, it has been awhile and I don't have any notes handy ;)

     

    Did you guys ever check out Infinite Light ltd?

  4.  

    I have a couple of things that I'm not into that were sold very inexpensive to me, that if anyone here wants, I will do for cheap.

     

    The one thing that is so cool a concept but I just cannot get into is "The Life and Death of a Wasp"  Man, that sounds like it has so much potential, but no dice. Couldn't buy it.

    Which ones are those?

     

    I did/do like Wasp, but really need to be into the mood for those vocals, so I haven't gotten it on vinyl, though I have been tempted a couple times.

  5. But I just picked up some CDs/DVDs from somewhere ?? ;) that I can listen/watch from the comfort of my laptop without getting up to turn records over.

     

    This is true :)

     

    really digging the new tracks. i like that he's been trying to change it up with new nadja releases considering there was a long stretch of everything sounding the same for a while.

     

    Flipper, Queller, and Tangled (recommended) were all very different. Flipper being my least favorite of the three, but i appreciated it. 

     

    Tangled is amazing, agreed.  One of only a few 7" I own.  my only complaint is that the vinyl is a bit flimsy so my copies is a little warped.  Still plays fine though.  I could never get into flipper either. LOVE Queller.

     

    I wanted to like Dagdrom, but it just didn't click.

     

    I actually quite like Dagdrom. Those live drums add so much

  6. I decided to jump on the Brume record. They only have 30 of each available in the U.S. Went with the different jacket one, though I think the other actually looks cooler there will be more of them and when they repress it will probably be the same artwork. Damn my too much collector rarity thinking.

    I hear you, my thinking exactly. Haven't decided yet
  7. Hey man, the dude on the plane said it helped. I can't be prepared for terrorists every waking second. Plus I was trying to reconcile with my estranged wife. LEAVE ME ALONE.

    Okay, fair enough, but I don't think you can explain your way out of Hudson Hawk.  I notice you conveniently avoided that.

  8. Yeah I really want to know what really happened. I think I'm like person 13 on the VC forums, so there could be plenty more. And if there really are no duplicate C/D people out there then as someone mentioned, will they try to sell these extra deluxe A/B individually...? The questions keep coming for me.

    I sent a message and asked about that, having missed out on the deluxe rainbow. Mike seemed to think he could make it happen...we'll see if it works out. I hope so, am a huge fan of this album, but don't think I need the extras.
