Michiel at MOV wrote me back to say they cannot sell them in the US/UK. So I am thinking my AMAZON preorder will never get handled.
I will probably cancel it.

I ordered from Amazon and have heard nothing. Other than it "should arrive" by April 9.

It certainly seemed to be a somewhat eclectic mix of older established acts who perhaps aren't as popular as they once were, and newer unsigned artists looking for a breakthrough.
I currently had one order in for a band in the latter category. They are now planning to relaunch tonight via their own website, and many pledgers including myself have cancelled their pledges and plan to re-order. Which is possibly not helping the situation as far as Pledge Music are concerned.
Edit: statement from Benji Rogers
After reading his statement I know they are fucked. They had a great thing that was poorly managed on all ends. Too bad.

I've done 1 Pledge and it was a total nightmare. Six months turned into 2+ years. I'm surprised I even got it. I never went back.
I check the projects to know whats coming out but PM can go pound for all I care.

Don't need this but I have the Mussolini Headkick record and its great. I've been banned twice from Insta for posting when I play it.

Jesse you're a good dog. Such a good dog.
I liked this album way back when and when I heard it was being repressed I dug back into it.
Still holds up

Yeah sturdy gatefold with embossed silver numbers on the back panel, poly lined inner sleeves 8 page lyric book with some associated album photos and a near 12" by 12" print of the cover sans the typography. Sound quality is really ace and it may be up there with my best sounding records. 180 gram for most of us doesn't mean much and silver may seem at odds with their love of all things green but I have to say this is one of the most beautiful re-issues I've gotten my hands on this year.
Agreed. Sounds fantastic. One of the best sounding discs I have as well.

Anybody has a clue if this box is also going to be released by MOV or if this is a seperate release? I prefer to get it from another website than Pledgemusic but if this is the only option to get all of these 4 albums then I will bend I guess
4 Double LP Vinyl Box Set + AccessPass
AvailableI'd like to know too. I have Extremities but those other 3 are the last albums I need. I hate Pledge Music though.
-
I was hoping this was maybe remixed/remastered.
Still exciting nonetheless
-
Can’t confirm this yet but I hear it will be on trans yellow vinyl. January 18 2019 release.
-
I ordered one from the UK but my local shop got like 20 of them for RSD. Last check he has 9 left. I feel dumb.

Totally, it was a decent album but not a good SP album. I'm with you on Last Rights being the pinnacle and logical end. Download's early material, despite being way more techno-influenced, sounds like a much more logical follow-up if there was one. Furnace and The Eyes of Stanley Pain are absolutely brilliant - and seeing them live for TEOSP remains one of my favorite show memories. I love that those have been issued on vinyl after all this time.
I also saw Ohgr on the first tour, and was really happy that cEvin was on drums as I'd never seen SP live at that point. The discography is pretty weird - I thought the first one was pretty good, I found SunnyPsyOp pretty weak and cheesy, and then Devils in My Details was pretty impressive and closer to SP's reunion material (not great but less cheesy than Ohgr in general). I think Undeveloped was ok but I honestly don't remember much, and I haven't listened to Tricks but the few songs I have heard while shuffling my Spotify queue were absolutely cheesy and I couldn't get through them.
Both CDs were about twice as long as the original releases. Getting into SP during the CD era, I always assumed those were the "normal" track lists. But despite some great material not being included, I'm actually glad they've reissued them with the original track list. I forget where all those bonus tracks came from - there are 13 between the two releases. A couple from Back & Forth I guess, but I don't know about the rest without spending time digging.
100% agree on all counts.

P.S. I gotta revisit Lead Into Gold one of these days - I bought Age of Reason on vinyl back in the 90s and don't think I ever listened to it more than twice. But I still have it. On that note, WTF I was just looking on RYM and noticed there's a new Lead Into Gold album that just came out in July?! That's a shocker.

I have Age Of Reason and I'd say Giant Among Men is my fave on there. Its vintage Luxa/Pan

Not really, although live it blends pretty well with older material.
Agreed.
The Process was a good album but not a good SP album in my opinion. I left at that point. In my eyes, and squarely my own opinion, Last Rights was the pinnacle and the logical end to everything they did to that point. I was so sure that the follow up to LR would be more abstract sound collage, like a less electro Eyes of Stanley Pain type thing mixed with the first few minutes of KNowhere looped and more abstract from a rhythmic standpoint.
Instead it was decent but wholly unremarkable electro. Which in hindsight makes sense as Critter was dead as well as dwayne. Critter Newell was the genius in those records save for Rabies which was Luxa/Pan'd into the Ministry v Skinny Puppy album I always wanted in 1989.
Ohgr's solo stuff isn't anything to write home about (IMO). The initial record was good and I saw them/him on that tour (with Hate Dept - who will never get the credit they deserve for being solid) but otherwise danceable stuff with Ohgr being Ohgr over it.
On the subject of the Bites and Remission repressed which do sound good btw, I wish more tracks were included. The cd had another like 6 tracks that do not appear on the records, one of those being one of my all time face SP songs "Manwhole".
-
I'm nearly certain these are all done by the same people. Nettwerk seemed to not care and the band collectively wanted them back out there. I, for one, am glad this is being done.

If that's 12 year old speak for "you just don't get it" then yeah. You're probably right.

If you think that Kanye's whole career, where every album pioneers a unique sound that is critically and fan acclaimed, is utter shit -- I hate to break it to ya bud, you have bad taste in music.
Or maybe I've been around long enough to know good from bad/not a sheep to current trends. In any case I like Ye. I'm still shocked about that.
-
Always hated Kanye's "music". Every album that came out people falling over themselves to praise it. I always though it was utter shit.
Ye on the other hand. I.......like it?
I might actually buy it. I'm rather shocked. But yeah, its good.

Cool Thanks! Ordered!
This is must be the regular press
Take Them On, On Your Own https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078Y2PMKV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_sMWFAbAA9PWPR
Bummer, if I’d had thought to look on amazon I’d rather had saved $17. Colored vinyl means nothing to me. Oh well.
