Neanderthal Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Can any beautiful soul out there tell me where to get the Erased Tapes LP version of AWVFTS S/T in the United States? I hear their pressings are better than Kranky, so I want to try that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't have it really gonna have to search! But there's always ordering direct from ET as I did but that was for the clear, and came to like $55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I just checked and they only have the Kranky version (for an insanely cheap price if anyone wants that). It was about $38 when I tried to order direct from Erased Tapes. I feel like there's gotta be somewhere I don't have to order internationally...

omik11303 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Anyone have any pics of the Moon Ate the Dark vinyl/packaging? The album is really good but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I want to see what I missed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 These were just pulled from google images....The blue part is a textured fabric, where as the red is a thick lightly textured cardboard....it has two printed inner sleeves with really nice paintings and track list info.... all Sonic Pieces are the same packaging just different color schemes and insert artwork... omik11303 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelso330 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I am going to do a short run of posts centered around ambient Labels. I feel that most ambient/experimental labels are fairly consistent across releases. That being said, if you like 1 artist you are bound to like a few more on a given label. To help people out to find new artists I will post fairly regularly solid labels I really enjoy! To kick things off lets start with, THREE labels. Here we go!!! (also its pretty darn common among all these labels to find 1 artist releasing albums on the many different labels) Hibernate ( http://hibernate-recs.co.uk) This UK label has put out many beautiful albums, primarily in CD format, but do have few vinyl releases. Key Artists include; Olan Mill, Ian Hawgood, Storm Noir, Field Rotation, Felicia Atkinson, Wil Bolton, Memory Drawings and Simon Bainton. Have a listen: https://hibernate.bandcamp.com/merch Flau ( http://www.flau.jp/artists.html) The Japanese label is more diverse than most ambient teams. Venturing into fields such as dream-pop, electronic, classical, drones, ambient, and experimental. They rarely put out a bad album. Several Key Artists include: Cuushe, Part Timer, The Boats, Danny Norbury, SELA, Neon Cloud, Orla Wren, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and Masayoshi Fujita Listen for yourself: https://flau.bandcamp.com Unknown Tone Records ( http://www.unknowntonerecords.com) A husband and wife run, Oklahoma based label that sticks to ambient, experimental and noise. You can find several amazing albums, however this label tends to have some albums that fall off the wagon a bit. Regardless there are several Key Artists such as; Sima Kim, Dylan Golden Aycock, Porya Hatami, Monolyth & Colbolt, Maps and Diagrams and Atlantis. Go open your ears at: https://unknowntonerecords.bandcamp.com I hope you guys find some new tunes to enjoy...I want to keep this thread alive and healthy as its been, so anyone may feel free to leave feedback, questions or let us know an Album (or 2) you really enjoy related to the above! ...Happy Hunting... eskimoswim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Huh... I didn't notice a /350 numbered card in my MATD package. Will have to take a look I guess. But yeah, the package really did come together nicely. And sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I don't mean to advertise in here but it's the right place... Arms and Sleepers fans.. their first album Cinematique is a classic. Bought a 3 pack that had all the variants and I only wanted one, so I have two extras to sell (/200 and /75) and I'm selling them for cheaper than you can get anywhere else. PM me if you're interested https://wearearmsandsleepers.bandcamp.com/album/cinematique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanjuro Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 http://www.earthkeptwarm.com/the-imitation-archive/ "The Imitation Archive is 34 minutes of computer glitch, crunch, hiss and whir that commemorates 70 years of computing, produced at the birthplace of computing, Bletchley Park." Hoping that some label presses that release. Heard about it on NPR. It's free to download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelso330 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Second dose of ambient Labels: Dronavium: This label is in my top 3 of ambient labels. Hailing from Moscow, they have put out spectacular release after release. The most current release, by Olan Mill (Cavade Morlem) is a stunner! And I its still for sale. Almost every single Dronavium physical release is sold out! No vinyl yet but with releases like these buying a CD is tempting. Key Artists; Olan Mill, Caught In The Wake Forever, Pillowdiver, The Green Kingdom, Marsen Jules and Sima Kim. Start with their fantastic compilation: (15 Shades of White) the best ambient comp I've ever heard! https://dronarivm.bandcamp.com/album/15-shades-of-white Listen Here: https://dronarivm.bandcamp.com Eilean Records: (?) the label is based on a map with 100 points. each point is associated to a number. each number to a release. Sadly, every single release is SOLD OUT! I was lucky enough to snag the Aaron Martin album, but what does that say about the label? CDs only again, but pretty well made ones at that! Some of the best ambient/classical out their... Key Artists: Aaron Martin, Twigs & Yarn, Pascal Savy, James Murry, Danny Clay and Spheruleus Listen Here: https://eileanrec.bandcamp.com Students of Decay: (USA) Some of you may be aware of these guys. Some real nice experimental stuff being put out. They press VINYL thank god, and even do special editions once in a blue moon! Key Artists: Kyle Bobby Dunn, Marble Sky, Alex Cobb, *Secret Pyramid*, Aquarelle and Bryter Layter They have a nice set up for their website with sample songs next to the description! I believe everything gets a vinyl pressing (except 1) so if your looking for a vinyl ambient label you've found your home! Check them out: http://studentsofdecay.com Listen: https://soundcloud.com/studentsofdecay Go explore my friends!!! I would recommend starting with the 15 Shades compilation as well as Secret Pyramid on SOD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Cool concept... but kinda defeats the point to listen to that on vinyl, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 What do you mean? The full piece is intended to be digested and processed during an 8-hour sleep cycle. The vinyl version is a much-more condensed version that you (presumably) enjoy while awake. If it was some ridiculous 16-LP boxset that covered the entire piece, then I'd say it defeats the purpose.

toomanyrecords Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Oh I didn't read the whole thing, I just thought it was a record you were supposed to experience while sleeping and didn't realize the vinyl release wasn't a box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
