I have inquired. Heads up: down to the low teens on Jesu vinyl quantities

Heads up: we're down to less than 40 copies of each format of JESU and down to less than 10 of the TILTS album mentioned as well. http://www.roboticempire.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65&sort=20a&filter_id=246

Jesu had something like... 92 of the 7" available. they went pretty quick. cool little featurette at The Locked Groove: http://www.thelockedgroove.com/2012/11/25/spend-christmas-with-jesu/

did Aural Exploits shut down completely? was this the only release they ripped people off on... or others too? sorry to everyone who had a bummer experience there, but I imagine that was outside of the band's control

Damn I didn't put 2 and 2 together there, how many people got ripped off?! Thanks so much to everyone who's ordered this!

I thought there were vinyl plans for that?

We started the year with a release (TILTS) and now we'll end the year with one... SURPRISE: four of Justin K. Broadrick's incredible sonic personalities within one impressive 12" EP, simply titled Christmas. JESU lays the foundation with the initial hymn, along with brilliant remixes from related projects PALE SKETCHER and FINAL, plus an exclusive and brand new remix by the oppressive JK FLESH entity. Originally self-released as a digital-only EP for Xmas 2010, the 35+ minutes of music within have been sonically upgraded by mastering wizard James Plotkin specifically for the two physical formats. Vinyl edition comes on complimentary ice-blue color wax housed in a glorious high-gloss full color jacket, CD edition also comes with high-gloss artwork and has an exclusive lyrics page. * Each format is limited to a one-time pressing of 500 copies * Stream the full release now over at SPIN Magazine * Available to pre-order NOW at the Robotic Empire - Online Store We are expecting these to arrive at RoboHQ within the first week or two of December and plan to rock all the pre-orders right back out the door hopefully just in time for the holidays. If all goes according to plan, folks should be receiving their packages right around Xmas itself. However, because the entire postal system gets bogged down around the holidays, it is impossible to guarantee things at this time of year... that being said, Priority Mail is recommended for affordable semi-expedited delivery. This release has been in the pipeline for ages and we're glad it's finally (almost) in existence, even if so damn close to the wire. We're thrilled to work with Justin K. Broadrick again and have plans to announce another JKB release in 2013. Beyond that, it's been a wild year with a lot of changes for us but we're happy to say that some stability is finally on the horizon with new roots being put down (and/or in motion) after long periods of flux. We keep chugging along with the Robotic Empire - Online Store and want to genuinely thank everyone who's ordered from us this year, or... ever! We couldn't keep this operation afloat without the direct support of our mailorder followers, and we really appreciate all of those who've stuck with us through the years or just found out about us recently. It's getting increasingly difficult to run a label like ours in this "landscape" and blah blah blah, the same thing you've probably heard a lot of times by now... but at the end of the day, we are a small operation and sincerely appreciate everyone who's helped. Enough emo year-end-sentimentality, let's get to the MUSIC: lots of cool new stuff joins this update, including a rad NEIL YOUNG t-shirt (the same image infamously connected to LYNYRD SKYNYRD), OLD MAN GLOOM's appropriately-timed Christmas re-presses, BONGZILLA, PROTESTANT, THE AUSTRASIAN GOAT, and BASTARD NOISE / MAN IS THE BASTARD vinyl, SUTEKH HEXEN's new album and collections release on wax, sinister tapes from NIHILL and HALLOWED BUTCHERY and surprisingly/awesomely a fantastic new TAIGA cassette which is Bryant Clifford Meyer's solo project, our old dawg who is/was in such acts as ISIS, RED SPAROWES, PALMS and more! On the re-stock tip we've got extensive Denovali vinyl imports aplenty, Magic Bullet essential re-ups abound, LSD AND THE SEARCH FOR GOD, more OLD MAN GLOOM on cassette and vinyl, plus some other random jibba jabb.

And last but clearly not least, we have picked a winner for our most recent contest: congratulations to Björn Bauer for his incredible and intricate tree drawing that wins our shirt-design-contest. We received some seriously amazing submissions (either for content, skill and/or ability to make us laugh) but Björn's fantastic image hit the nail on the head. Check out his website for an extensive portfolio and more info on this great artist. Big ups to everyone who took the time and effort to submit something for this, it was a lot of fun going over all the entries, and (with their permission) we may post a few of the "runner up" images as well. We will post a larger version of Björn's graphic when we announce shirt ordering info in the coming weeks... stay tuned! BOOM! Great way to end the year. Hope everyone reading this can reflect on all the good things that have happened to them these past 11-12 months and let it percolate and overpower any bad elements of the year. OK OK enough hippy nonsense, don't trample your fellow man or anything but Robo-capitalist scum still say "go buy our rotatable plastic circles!" - Robotic Empire - Online Store

SRC- not trying to open a can of worms, about to PM you.

...wake up wake up wake up, its the first of the month... OK folks its getting a little serious here. We're less than two weeks from concluding the BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY kickstarter campaign with quite a ways to go financially. If we want to see this thing happen (and obviously we do), a lot of pre-orders need to come through with the quickness! The general reaction to the announcement of this seemed to be confusion overall, but let it be known that this project is genuine and awesome. The "For Smokers Only" collection not only rules from a logistical standpoint, but musically its also excellent! [media=] [/media]Most of the 12 tracks found on the album are from "prime era" BONE THUGS and the quality shows. We're doing our best to make this thing happen, but without some real pledges and word-of-mouth, we'll be both high AND dry in two weeks time. Please consider this an "elaborate pre-order" that you won't get charged for until the full goal amount is reached. Speaking of elaborate, we've done some major contemplation on what our first-ever slipmat printing should be like... and in an attempt to go MEGA we're gonna try to pull of an faux-animated "zoetrope" type slipmat. Essentially, something like this, but obviously a lot stonier. Beyond that we've got a lot of cool stuff in the "DIE HARD" deluxe vinyl edition as well as standard LP and CD options for folks looking for something a little simpler. Please hit up the BONE THUGS kickstarter page and pledge a few bones bucks if ya can! PEACE!

thanks brother! also, the Weird World of Weed-Press has taken note: http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2012/09/bone_thugs_release_for_smokers_only.php http://www.theweedblog.com/bone-thugs-n-harmony-set-to-release-for-smokers-only Now if I can just get the hip hop press to take note...

This is songs from all over their career, even 1 track from E.1999 is on there

good story! ...and we have our first "VIP MEGABONE": Ballers: STEP UP! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roboticempire/bone-thugs-n-harmony-for-smokers-only-cd-and-lp-re

loving the Bone-references honestly expected a little more excitement outta VC but whatev, all gravy baby

It is with great amazement that we announce a recently-launched Kickstarter campaign in hopes of releasing a genuine BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY weed-tribute album on both CD and LP. This is obviously a unique release to come into our path, and we feel fully obligated to try making this a reality! There have been none before or after that accurately compare to the exclusive quality and talent that is BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY, and to unleash this heady collection is a privilege we won't soon forget. Renown globally with over 30 million(!) albums sold worldwide, BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY are true groundbreakers with their unique combination of heartfelt melody and street realism. A variety of vocal speeds and skills are mixed with infectious beats, resulting in unparalleled rap in both substance and style. (CD artwork, subject to change) Comprised of a magnificent crop of tracks from across BONE THUGS and members impressive catalogs of recordings, "For Smokers Only" is an incredible 12-track homage to their favorite medicinal herb. This "For Smokers Only" collection has never been available before on CD or LP, previously released earlier this year solely as a digital-download, and some of the material featured here will be made available in the physical format for the very first time! The songs found here are a dozen high quality nuggets representing BONE THUGS' fondness for imbibing in an age-old ritual that many of us also know and love. The full track list is as follows: We're doing this Kickstarter campaign with the goal of raising enough funds to start manufacturing CDs plus both the standard edition vinyl-LP and deluxe DIE HARD edition LP of "For Smokers Only", plus hopefully cover some licensing and legal fees, and basically just work with one of the most amazing hip hop bands on the planet! This is a special opportunity to own BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY material on vinyl, as most of their albums that've been pressed on wax are now long out of print. In combination with the vinyl, a FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD of "For Smokers Only" will be included with every LP ordered. HERE IS WHAT WE PLAN ON MAKING: * The CD will be packaged in a jewel case with full-color artwork. * The standard vinyl LP will come on your choice of black or green vinyl packaged in a color jacket, and includes a high quality digital-download of the full album. * The deluxe DIE HARD edition will come on limited "PURPLE HAZE" (purple-N-green) color vinyl housed in an oversized ziplock baggie, an exclusive "bud tribute" slipmat, a hand-numbered 11" x 17" screenprinted blacklight poster, stickers, 1.5" button, full album digital-download AND bonus additional download of the "Everyday Thugs" album! * A special limited vinyl TEST PRESS edition, plus the truly massive "VIP MEGABONE" option... Important Note:THIS RELEASE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE IN NORTH AMERICA OUTSIDE OF THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF COPIES IMPORTED VIA THIS KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!! Because this release is being manufactured and distributed in Europe, pledge prices have been calculated to include the "import shipping" costs for USA orderers. People in other countries can order as well, please just see the "International Shipping" price section of the FAQ found within the Kickstarter campaign, as shipping for this release is a little different (and cheaper) than how we normally do things. We've come up with a variety of different pledge options including super simple postage-paid CDs and LPs, wholesale options, the deluxe DIE HARD edition, a limited TEST PRESS option, plus an elaborate and crazy "VIP MEGABONE" $420 pledge option! Please see the Kickstarter campaign page for all of the details on everything we're offering here. This is running for one month and we're basically aiming to treat it as an "elaborate pre-order". Although this is the most we've asked for to date, after two previous successful Kickstarter campaigns under our belt we're hoping this one will be a success as well. That being said, the other campaigns definitely wouldn't have gone as well without kind people helping us spread the word. Seriously, a post on Facebook/Tumblr/Twitter/your blog/whatever actually helps a surprising amount, and we're totally down to hook up some bonus swag schwag at the end of this crazy thing if you wanna help us spread the word a bit. Just let us know at the end of the campaign if you posted something and we're happy to juice it up. Here's the link, please share it! http://www.kickstart...ly-cd-and-lp-re And here's a shorter one: http://kck.st/U9LsYQ An audio medley with a handful of clips from the album can be heard here: [media]http://soundcloud.com/roboticempire/bonethugs-medley http://soundcloud.co...onethugs-medley YEA-UH! That pretty much sums it up! This is easily one of the most exciting and wildest things Robotic Empire has attempted in our nearly 14-year history. We've talked about truly breaking out of our "comfort zone" genres for years, and what better way to do it than with a freakin BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY release?! Nobody (even us) was expecting this, so PLEASE help us make this thing a hit by spreading the word if ya can. BONE BONE BONE BONE BONE BONE.... So obviously that is the biggest news for us in a while, but far from all we've been up to lately. Besides working on prepping the BONE THUGS project for kind of a while, we've been busy stocking lots of AWESOME new tunes for the Robotic Empire - Online Store. Top on the list this time is the stunning FALSE / BARGHEST split LP, which our partner label Mirror Universe was kind of the catalyst for. A co-release with longtime brethren Gilead Media, this is one of the most blistering and relentless albums we've been involved with to date. Seriously incredible sophomore material from each band following two fantastic debut albums on Gilead last year, we are extremely stoked to have this in house and ready to rock. Dr. Broadcloak himself's timely OCD has proven itself glorious once again with an incredible package with fantastic artwork, a large poster insert and appropriately heavyweight vinyl. Fans of the heavy: DO NOT sleep on this one! * Available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store This release is also available to stream in full, with FALSE showcasing their material through the mighty Decibel Magazine, and BARGHEST via bandcamp. * BARGHEST side: http://gileadmedia.b...com/album/split * FALSE side: http://www.decibelma...a-church-tower/ FALSE is currently on the road as well: GO SEE THEM if they're coming near you! 9/13 - Chicago, IL - LUMC - 2242 S.

The last round will exit our compound this Friday, so once you get your package please post some pics of the drawings... so others can kick themselves for not taking part in this (Robo Dude fighting the Kraken)

Did we mention we scored GODFLESH "Streetcleaner" TEST PRESSES?! Only a handful left... http://www.roboticempire.com/store #craycray

Hi everyone! We've got an announcement for a new release pre-order today along with a pretty stacked distro update that includes a GODFLESH Test Press!!, loads of Bridge 9 stock, the long unavailable FURNACE Doublewalker 12", along with too many other things to highlight. Please continue reading: Two of the finest underground US metal outfits have teamed up for an unstoppable split album: BARGHEST and FALSE will release a stunning 12" LP this summer via Gilead Media and Mirror Universe, a "partner label" of Robotic Empire. FALSE and BARGHEST come from drastically different worlds, and their individual approaches to black metal reflect this. BARGHEST hail from the swamps of Baton Rouge, LA and take the misanthropic "anti-human/anti-life" angle, delivering disgustingly abrasive, lo-fi metal. A lineup without bass, yet full of unflinching aggression and thickness. FALSE call the frozen landscape of Minneapolis, MN home, and with a foundation of synth-tinged European black metal complimented by a hypnotic atmosphere, create intensely eerie music. For all of their differences, they also share some key similarities. Each group released a debut album in 2011 with Gilead Media/Howling Mine, and both were met with overwhelmingly positive response from zines, blogs, and fans. FALSE and BARGHEST also each contain an oppressive quality in their respective sounds. This is not music for casual listening, but more akin to a psychological journey through realms devoid of light or hope. BARGHEST offer two tracks for the split. "Shifting Sands" is one of the first songs the band ever wrote, and is finally now available in a physical format. Although an older piece, it still possesses the aesthetic BARGHEST solidified for themselves on their Untitled debut album. "Inhuman Hatred" follows, a brand new song with obvious death metal influences. It carries a greater sense of focus and purpose than the material from their full-length, without abandoning their unique style. FALSE have grown in unbelievable ways since their debut 12". Their single track on this split--"Heavy as a Church Tower"--clocks in at nearly 18 minutes, and stands as hard evidence that FALSE are quickly becoming an undeniable force within American black metal. The ferocious intensity from their debut is amplified here, and paired with a more mature sense of mood and atmosphere. Their side of the split is very much FALSE, evolved. Artwork for this split album has been crafted by Bryan Proteau of Natvres Mortes Illustration, with LP jackets printed on heavyweight stock. A printed inner sleeve is included, and 800 copies pressed on 180gram black vinyl. This release is now available to stream in full, with FALSE showcasing their material through the mighty Decibel Magazine, and BARGHEST on bandcamp. * BARGHEST side * FALSE side * Cover Art There you go, the entire split before your very ears and pre-orders are up now on the Robotic Empire - Online Store.
