Not impossible but going to cost you some coin, such a great album, and so few pressed with both pressings. Good luck mate!

I opened this thread with haste thinking "Robert Fripp's dance band in the early 80's got a box set pressing by Steven Wilson?" Doubt anyone on this site ever heard of his side project, which was so atypical...and surprisingly good, too. Mr Spock can disco!

Warning: I think my traditionally rock/metal bandcamp has been taken over by the "everything"-gaze mistress drds89 bandcamp

Thank you kindly! I'm envious of all the great bands that swing through Seattle! Hope you have a great time!

Thanks for the rec Justin. I seem to like 95% of the stuff you post. Edit: And.... one album in /one listen, and this proves to be another incredible recommendation (The tesa reminder scored me a couple of their albums). These guys are on an instrumental rock mission, driving guitar lines with a purpose, and not repetitive or too mathy / proggy for some here. Some metal components in there as well the way Russian Circles mixes in metal with rock. Can't wait to listen to more.

Amazing list! Just got a copy of SJ5 Box (Gold), good luck on the sale

Edit: thanks to @CatsNJazz Sargent House is now working with Kristina's project "Miserable," and this new release is slated for October 26th. Pre-order here on Hell Merch: Transparent Red Vinyl and Black Vinyl options Listen to a new track "Gasoline" on Bandcamp I have the Dog Days cassette from the UK - same 4 track titles as on this one (tracks 5 - 8). Miserable: Loverboy / Dog Days

Vinyl sounds GREAT, especially the lows, I almost had to turn my loudness button off And they did an almost perfect edit for the album to be an LP ; side a 33 RPM and I didn't clock it, but think about 20 min vs 30 min track on digital; and side B is 45 RPM with just the two grindgaze tracks that pump. Cut out 10 min of filler side a and the last 2 tracks on side b

Finally back in town where I could listen all the way through without the stream cutting off (happened 3 times and I gave up)-- this is a solid release, and I especially like the edge they have added to several tracks. Reminds me of TPSQ in some parts (who are due/ overdue for an album this year) and for @mrewest No Screechy Violins, not even once! It never really hits a high point like the closer on New Topographics, but I want this on vinyl, and of course, the limited. Need to do the math on a subscription and see what 'reasonable' shipping costs are vs waiting a year or two to see what UK subscribers will list this for on discogs. It's the shipping that's going to kill if from private UK sellers. I seriously doubt 200 subscribers will be hanging tightly onto this. It's very good, but not Caspian D&D or Tides of Man: Y&C level.

I just got the LP today and had the download on bandcamp (still private).

Apologies I wasn't clear in my post re: this pre-order. Your points are well taken on the actual product and pricing along with the color and ltd craze vs Black vinyl. I was thinking of the perfume (Emily's latest), signed cassettes (Pagans), and sterobox? (Synthetica) - but these were just extras as you pointed out. Help, I'm Alive will always have that skip

I'm glad they did a SS 12" and I like the swirl /300 better than color in color /200. However, that would break up my collecting ocd with toe releases and the most limited variant. Not buying both. Throwing another $5 away on the CS.

They maxed out their politico and anti-establishment (including music industry) angst with early albums, and Fantasies is hit after hit after hit - hard to top. There are some high points with the last two and Emily’s solo album, but I’m through preordering the $ gimmicks.

To their credit, the European and Russian Fed fans show up in droves compared to us US postrock/metal heads. So it’s just a fact of life 6-7 hr round trips for Caspian Russian Circles etc. (Even Nothing is skipping Virginia with Swirlies, doing the typical RDU —>DC circuit) Any RVA show is a miracle we don’t pass. edit: it’s a sad fact to think airline fare for 6 dudes + equipment and then all the miles in Europe still nets more coin for them. Unless they’re just going for the scenery and beer. (-;
