  1. Bit of a bugger there's no EU distro this time considering shipping is the same cost as the collectors' sets!
  2. Posting some links to the PO like a good human should do! Black: https://shop.hallasband.com/product/preorder-isle-of-wisdom-vinyl Purple: https://napalmrecords.com/english/hallas-isle-of-wisdom-purple-vinyl.html Violet black marble + slipmat: https://napalmrecords.com/english/hallas-isle-of-wisdom-die-hard-edition.html Big honking monster vinyl pack https://shop.hallasband.com/product/preorder-le-quartette-vinyl-pack Is this getting a proper distro? Or just EU?
  3. If it makes you feel any better, I bought the Progress 7" and it cost £30 after import tax… Only to find it in a record shop a week later for £8!
  4. I think it really depends on what clicks with you, and sounds like you know what works for you. Games are cutting edge shit, yet you hear some of the blandest, orchestral splurdges being wallpaper for the game when both really should be marrying together. There are so many great examples of unique OSTs, like the ones you mentioned, but it's because the composer brings their own sound to it; HEALTH's Max Payne, Disasterpeace, Journey OST, GRIS, Silent Hills… It's interesting when you see devs working with popular artists, like Japanese Breakfast and (British) Sea Power, they get something fantastic then. I dunno, I had a pint and I'm at my keyboard!
  5. Completely forgot ITC was a thing. Glad he's figured out the company is a dropship fulfilment thingy rather than a label that acted like twats to everyone. Poor Owel, thought they were signed??
  6. Everyone's eyes thank you for this blessing.
  7. Nein, I'm in the land of gammon: UK. In all fairness, a lot of the US variants look lush, loads of splatters going that ways.
  8. Finally got my copy. The black-in-blue colour-in-colour came out exactly how I like! Haven't listened to this thing in ages so it's been a welcome spin. It's made me realise how much more chilled this release is over Aurora, which gets spun a lot here. Aurora is rawer, which is why it's more immediate for anyone listening to the band for the first time; There's so much impact track to track. Hush is a polished, maturer record, it makes me yearn a little for Aurora's pacey moments to prevent me feeling lost in some of the lengthier cuts, but that's not always a bad thing, being lost in some of the tracks that have huge atmospheres and depths is warmth needed some nights.

  10. Can't believe you're funkymix years old.
  11. Love threads like this as it's key for discovery, I miss loads or maybe listen to something but didn't connect with it at the time, or forgot to listen at the time. I generally see a few common names tally up and check out an album on that basis or I see a theme in a list of things I already like and will listen to something I've missed. Or just pot luck it. I'll add my list soon, just writing to say everyone's lists are appreciated.
  12. One of those albums that after one listen is enough for instant connection. Such a solid album. I'll check out some wrens stuff (never listened to their stuff ever), the backstory comes across a bit sad, sounds like the other guy isn't ready and is just taking it at his own speed/not rushing, but I'm glad something got released. Imagine being sat on this kind of stuff for decades.
  13. That single from November had me a bit uh oh, but I am totally on board, this album shreds. Waiting on some distros to pick this up, international shipping strikes again!
  14. Silent Hill 3 represses incoming, but first, a Data Disc exclusive, limited to 500 going up today at 6pm GMT. Also the DD newsletter mentioned a SH4: The Room vinyl, but might be way off yet. Probs something to look forward to next year.
  15. The thing is, seeing how the CWA pressing went, you'll have this first batch and they've released it like "this is limited woooooOooOoo" but then a few months later there'll be just regular black vinyl. Then a signed copy. Then a limited edition print + record. Then a super special limited edition that comes with Drew's gold foiled pubes.
  16. I tried to buy a couple copies for EU/UK folk but fucking hell that shipping. Sorry. Nice to see the Failure pricing model bleeding inspiration for other bands.
  17. Bundle (With t shirt) $50 https://dredg.merchnow.com/products/v2/335728/leitmotif-20th-anniversary Just the record $40 https://dredg.merchnow.com/products/v2/335715/leitmotif-20th-anniversary-green
  18. Resent all the UK/EU variants being red, but okay!
  19. I'm not a collector, I really couldn't be bothered to play my copies of Kid A because it was two songs per side and when I'm sat down working it's a pain in the arse having to get up every other minute. Also I didn't own Amnesiac. I guess if you wait until Black Friday/Christmas, you'll find these cheap when every bitch is throwing their copy out because it's ever so slighty off-centre and their shit player can't handle it.
  20. I love when discog comments are like old man ramblings. Anyone getting distortion? Radiohead came to my school, back then I used to like milk warmed up on the radiator, but my friend became lactose intolerant and we always thought he lacked toast and was being tolerant of that. He went on to become a famous drag queen and my record sounds scratchy towards the end of one track because I have a shonky 1940s tuba attached to a diamond my ex girlfriend gave to me when she ran off with Marc Bolan.
  21. 80 copies of IAC!IAF! CE back up https://mewithoutyou.com/collections/featured/products/its-all-crazy-its-all-false-its-all-a-dream-its-alright-vinyl-collectors-edition
  22. Got mine in today and did a quick comparison of the Kid A 10" vs this (red). Basically sound the same, but I'd say this newer press sounds better than my 10" copy, the bass is deeper without affecting the mids and highs. Kid A is squeezed hard onto each side in comparison to the other two LPs in the set. I feel the only track that suffers is Motion Picture Soundtrack; It's not a dealbreaker that is has the slightest, I mean ever so slightest, sibalent artefacts on the singing, but I only noticed because after my first playback I hopped through the 10" and that's really not fair (no one's going to do that every playback, are they?)! It could be the slight warp my copy has, or it could be how it sounds, but I'm hardly going to be playing both side by side to nitpick, I imagine the other two LPs will sound just as great. Solid mastering to get this to fit, so well done to them.
  23. Got my grey in today, beautiful packaging. Will spin it tomorrow. I'm glad they released a live album instead of a best of. Ideal for me as I'm a casual fan – I like a few albums, some albums I couldn't get into but they had moments I tuned in to, seen them live a few times too – so it's great hearing them smash out pretty much every song I've ever loved at peak abilities as a band. A perfect send off gift to fans.
  24. Holy shit I am ALL ABOUT this latest SEIMS LP https://store.seims.net/album/four (If you dig it, Dunk/Thousand Arms/Church Road has vinyl)
  25. I am loving the hell out of this new album, but also never heard the discography until this thread so ended up buying the other albums too; they're all such solid albums. So thanks all for bringing this into my life.
