They check everyone’s Last.fm and decide by Volta scrobbles per capita. 

So I finally pulled the trigger on the Dark Operative Tertia press.  Spinning it now.  To me, it is far superior in sound than any of the six Mylene Sheath variants I have listened to. If you are a fan of Caspian / Tertia, it's definitely worth purchasing to experience the sound of this new pressing.  What is unfortunate is how lackluster the record was presented with it's packaging.  Flimsy vinyl that barely feels 140gram with rough edges that weren't even cut properly at the plant, plain Jane "La Vie En Rose" vinyl color (basically just clear vinyl with a slight pink tone), cheap jacket with none of the bells and whistles of some of the earlier Mylene Sheath pressings (gold foil stamping, gatefold, etc), and misprinted labels on sides A, B, and C that say it is spun at 45rpm when it's actually 33rpm.  I wonder how many thousand copies were pressed with that misprint?  Dark Operative / Magic Bullet / Brent still sucks.

A couple of things:
- Most importantly, Caspian owns the rights to their music. So thankfully they didn’t sign them over to D.O. with this pressing. 
- They did this as a trial, and odds are won’t be using them again for another press. 
- They’re aware of the IG rant and are pretty embarrassed and don’t want that reflecting on them, so things are probably gonna change next go around. 
- I spoke with them about a few other things / more in depth about Brent. Don’t be too worried. 
- New Caspian is in the works. As well as other info I can’t share. 
 
The only reason they didn’t have TC do their represses is cause it would have been a little too expensive through them. Only went with Brent cause he offered to repress it and wasn’t asking for the right to their music, which is fair. 
 
Also, I’m in the process of finding out runs sizes. Will post here and everywhere and then some more just to piss off Brent when I get said info. 

Ended up dropping $200+ on their Black Friday sale.  And it already shipped.  Stoked to get my first taste of A1KA.
 
Had no idea Beware of Safety's Mabon was pressed. Man, I forgot how good they are.  Going to break out their discography this week.

burkyburk - clear
Derek - blue
Freki - blue or clear?
MayCauseDeath - blue
tsheaz28 - blue
 
I'm going to go ahead and just place the order, with an extra clear and blue, cuz I'm with burkyburk and trying to get this record on my table!

One more in the group buy and it's happening!

Sounds awesome!  Love the new things they did here.
 
I can get this for $26ppd on crystal clear or clear blue vinyl.  Anyone about it?

Hitting shuffle defeats the purpose of carefully crafting new sequences.
For instance, I think something like Quovis -> Sealawn -> Further Up -> Waking Season -> Further In could actually work REALLY well, because of the ways that those songs begin an end.
Especially the end of Waking Season into Further In... they could let that thing build and build and set up some loops with manic guitars, kind of the way they do for the end of Sycamore before they all go to the drums, and then out of the ether comes the drumbeat for Further In.
Also, back to the topic sort of at hand... it looks like I've finally found a copy of the colored version of "The Quietest Place On Earth" from someone on Discogs. yaaaaay!

You have the audacity to say you're against shuffle, and then stick songs between the Holy Trinity? Are you fucking kidding me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure we had this conversation. You don't break up Quovis, Further Up, Further In. YOU DON'T FUCKING DO IT. Stop. Just stop trying to fuck with perfection. Next you'll be asking to play songs between The Raven, Vienna, and Sycamore.
Sometimes you make me so angry I want to strangle you with a bike chain.

Anybody want the Newbury variant?  I mistakenly (drunkenly...) ordered it twice, lol.  $30ppd anyone?  Still sealed, didn't even open the mailer package up.

Temporary Residence will have some for sure, maybe 20buckspin very soon too

Double LP for Crack The Skye??  Hope so.

Whip me up a new cover in Photoshop and I'll rip the mp3s.  We'll tag team that shit and have it off to the plant in the morning.  Stunning audiophile quality on 200 gram vinyl.  New alternate artwork.

Stage diving at Rosetta last night.

I'll grab a few tour copies if I can tonight, no promises though.

I should be able to pick up 3-4 tour copies.  I don't want to make any promises or take anyone's money before I have them though.  I'll send you guys who have asked a message first and then post here if I get any.

If anyone's still looking for a copy of this, don't think you'll find it cheaper...  Ships same day you order.  http://eclipsicalrecords.storenvy.com/

My body and wallet are ready.

I'll have this and other Sargent House releases up in my shop for those who wish to pay $4 shipping instead of whatever whack amount Hellomerch is forcing people to pay.
 
Stoked as hell for new Russian Circles.  New track slays.

I've emailed the Sony label (Watertower Music I think) about this and I got a "Sorry, but we are not interested in licensing any of the Breaking Bad music at this time." response.
 
Would be DOWN AS SHIT to press it.
