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.

Ha, I thought that was it! There's still quite a bit of stock of these in stores for the dad albums that were repressed. Regardless, I'm in it for the Frankie LP (despite already having 2 copies of this already). So glad they're hogging all the pressing plants with this!

Open to all now https://www.iam8bit.com/collections/hyper-light-drifter/products/hyper-light-drifter-vinyl-soundtrack-4xlp

EU https://blackscreenrecords.com/products/hyper-light-drifter-original-soundtrack-by-disasterpeace

UK: Check ChipFreq I'm guessing that'll grab it soon.

Do note this is limited, BUT apparently a huge amount.

@MCDELTATsorry for not checking sooner but glad you've snagged one. Brutal wait, but it's an outstanding pressing and great set.

It's looks like the packaging is the same from the website, which isn't a great thing, the box is such a faff. It's needlessly overcomplicated.

FYI if you happened to have joined the wait list for Disasterpeace's masterpiece Hyper Light Drifter on iam8bit, emails are being sent out so you can preorder it. I think you can just join the wait list and it might email you a link, but not sure how it's working. Looks like it's up to $100 now (could've sworn it was $60/75 when I purchased mine).

Just to be sure, the variant outside of your package was less dark than the one inside? Think I’m in luck again, the one outside of the package is like 99% black, the one inside the package is less dark but still very dark😒

The version in the white sleeve is the lighter version, the one inside the main package was super dark and gloomy. I actually thought the latter looked more on point with what we'd expect, but this band has unknown perfectionism and I'm here for that.

My A--B Life CE arrived. Also with two bellybands but also an additional C/D record because the variant inside the package came out much darker than they thought (like, it didn't matter).

Instantly listing this on discogs as OMG SUPER RARE two bellybands and 2x c/d side extended, super collector's vintage edition. £1000 ono etc

I'm liking this Fotocrime album

I'm liking this Fotocrime album

So, it's little bit prog/bit post-rock, really enjoying this Closet Disco Queens album https://closetdiscoqueen.bandcamp.com/album/omelette-du-fromage

Apart from having a banging band and album name, I saw they have vinyl for this release https://hummus-records.com/product/closet-disco-queen-and-the-flying-raclettes-omelette-du-fromage-lp/

Was just curious if anyone had any experience with laser cut discs? Are they just lathes or something else completely? Really can't find much on it, and the stock is gone, but just curious what that processing is.

Regardless, enjoy the music!

Oh boy, www.pitchshifter.com domain is available for a smooth $6000 if anyone wants to group buy it.

Edit: not sure how useful this is for international shipping, but Norman have copies https://www.normanrecords.com/records/188581-pitchshifter-wwwpitchshiftercom

some kind soul has made an exhaustive list to grab the record from:

Can't get embed thingy to work but repress in a Chinese store, limited to 500. Looks like a nightmare to purchase, as no links on web store and they're saying you'll need WeChat store.

  Didn't quite think this release merits its own thread, but new Jon Hopkins released digitally and on CD on the 12th of November, and on vinyl on the 11th of February, 2022.

Quote

Music For Psychedelic Therapy carves a new path for Jon sonically and philosophically. Enveloping Jon's journeys across geographical and cosmological spectrums, the album is an inimitable and all-embodying journey in and of itself. It's a richly rewarding and personal listening experience; one highly recommend indulging in without distraction.

Things are really relaxing here now, but it's spotty: some places have OG tiered-like masks in venues systems, others are like "you do you". It's fine, can't complain, I'm glad things are opening back up.

My husband had an open studio and caught COVID (again), except this time we are both double jabbed.

He just felt a little tired, and by day 4 had completely recovered except for smell/taste which came back after a banging curry on day 6 (vindaloo is healing)! I tested every day and never caught it. Lot of windows open!

This is how effective the vaccine is; you were going from two+ weeks out – worst cases: hospitalised, death – to the same timeframe as a cold. The only issue is spotting if you have it now, the vaccine has made it really difficult to gauge if you're just a bit under the weather vs Right Said Fred hospitalised full blown ccovid 

Also, fuck Right Said Fred; Bunch of cunts.

They havent gone up yet? You had me tripping too because I didn't remember them going up so early before. 1 Hour to go. 9AM PST for me.

EDIT:
Apparently I don't know what day it is.

Dude, stop it, my poor little heart can't take it 😁

I, ugh, forgot about the Silent Hills. Whoopsie. I'll catch it on the repress train.

Nice. I'm a little late to this band. Need to listen maybe one more time to the last LP and I'll convince myself to grab it on vinyl. Some good studying music.

No. You buy it now. You want to eat? Tough shit, Holy Fawn. Rent? Bills? Bank repayments? Your debtors will understand that you've bought the best album that ever existed is now in your collection, slowly burning into your soul.

Apparently it somehow made its way back to their warehouse after being dispatched and they've told me they can't send it back out to me and are just going to relist on their website "at some point." 

I've got to admit, their service is pretty shite.

Whhhaaa? That's incomprehensible; You'd think the best way to resolve this was to contact you first instead of blankly fuck it off and refund it. I'm outraged on your behalf, they're utter dickheads.

Once you get to cart/checkout it says it sold out.

Brutal stuff, see it's marked as sold out now though.

More coming this year, apparently. But do double-check local stores  as they're apparently getting stock at some point.

Shipping sucked for me, but was still better than buying a marked up second hand copy.

I think some stores are picking this up but it's on flexitime when they actually get stock. Ordering now is a good way to secure a copy, but it's gonna be ouchy on shipping/taxes.

Wow. I kinda forgot about the minecraft volume alpha again, and it looks like they hit pretty hard. I came in 11 minutes later and it looks sold out. I checked his bandcamp and it was sold out, store says it's not available.

Hopefully not a bunch of flippers that already own a copy trying to sell these for $70 again. Their email today says "If you miss it, we’ll have more soon." So that's good news.

Available on Ghostly https://ghostly.com/products/c418-minecraft-volume-alpha

EDIT: Good thing Ghostly have a limiter on their order page to stop people adding 20 to cart.

How did they package the new belly band? Was it like a parcel? Or maybe it was put in a letter?

Flat packed as a letter with cute little instructions in mwY font how to put it together.
