RadDonut Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 A-Side Transparent Blue + B-Side Black w/ Green & Purple Splatter - Hopeless Preorder Exclusive http://hopelessrecords.merchnow.com/products/187144/the-mindsweep-trans-blueblack-wsplatter-lp DELUXE $100 http://hopelessrecords.merchnow.com/products/187142/the-mindsweep-deluxe-lpcddvdbook-collectors-pack Do I have any Enter Shikari fans here? Amazing band and not usually the scene I'm into musically but they are a step ahead of the curve. I've loved these guys since their first release and have never been able to get enough. They just announced their new album and pre orders will go up in the UK on Oct 9th and TBA in North America but it will be via Hopeless Records. Here is their press release off of their homepage. We are pleased to finally be able to announce details of our fourth studio album today, along with a heap of European and UK tour for early 2015. ‘THE MINDSWEEP’ will be released in the UK on Monday 19th January 2015 (there’ll be slight variations on that worldwide. Day earlier here, a day later there… you know the score with your own territory) via Ambush Reality / Play It Again Sam (and via our friends at Hopeless Records for North America).The album was once again recorded with Dan Weller, and this time mixed by Jeremy Wheatley. Here’s what Rou Reynolds had to say about the album for the press release ;“We pushed ourselves vocally with some of the rawest angriest vocals we’ve ever done as well as some of the most dulcet and delicate. It’s even more diverse than normal as we’ve built more confidence and fearlessness to widen our influences further. Melody and aggression will always be an important side of what we do, but with this album there was also a concerted effort to concentrate on texture too. Alongside the core of our guitar, bass, drums, electronics set-up, there’s so much new instrumentation and orchestration. Writing for and recording woodwind, brass and strings was so rewarding and really felt like it brought a new dimension to the music.Just can’t wait to play these songs live now!” HERE’S THE TRACKLIST : 1. The Appeal & The Mindsweep I2. The One True Colour3. Anaesthetist4. The Last Garrison5. Never Let Go Of The Microscope6. Myopia7. Torn Apart8. interlude9. The Bank Of England10. There’s A Price On Your Head11. Dear Future Historians…12. The Appeal & The Mindsweep II There’s a few different formats for this release… Standard digital – for those who just need the MP3s on their music player of choice. Standard CD – speaks for itself, really eh? CD / DVD edition – the album CD, plus a DVD of ‘Live In St Petersburg, Russia 2014’ + one more show (tbc). Vinyl LP + CD + DVD + 7”x7” signed print edition – limited edition coloured vinyl (colour tbc. but exclusive to our webstore), plus CD of the album, plus the ‘Live In St Petersburg etc’ DVD, plus a hand-signed 7”x7” print.

Deluxe LP + CD + DVD + bonus DVD + 36 page 12″ photo/ lyric hardback book + 4 x signed print edition – Blimey. a thick, heavy, 12”x12” hardback book, housing an exclusive colour variant of the vinyl (exclusive to this version. not available anywhere else ever), plus the CD and the ‘Live In St Petersburg etc’ DVD. PLUS an exclusive to this package bonus DVD ‘Live At Woodstock, Poland 2013’ + one more show (tbc) – that’s four professionally shot / edited shows across two DVDs – PLUS 4x black & white prints…one of each member, and hand-signed by that member. This is going to be sexy as hell….just you wait. This package limited to 1000 copies worldwide. There’s also a new ‘The Mindsweep’ t-shirt, exclusive to this pre-order only. SPECIAL BUNDLE OFFERS : - Buying a ticket for a UK show will give you 20% off whichever format you choose.and adding the new shirt gets you 20% off that shirt too!- Picking up an album format and adding the shirt will also get you 20% off the price too. Please note! ; Due to the weight and value of the limited formats, we have to send them by a tracked delivery service. In a lot of cases (certainly in the UK), that makes it cheaper for you guys, and safer. Though afraid it does make the heavier / more expensive items a bit costly to post to places like Australia… but only a couple more $ than you’re probably used to and then you’re guaranteed to get it that way. Still a bit annoying though, but that’s postal services for you. USA FOLK – we’ll have information on your preorders and Spring 2015 tour VERY SOON!

Markwatson23 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm very excited for this, been a fan for a long time but this will be the first time i've seen them. I hope the colours match the artwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodigitaljazz Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 About fucking time. So many huge options. Never could see getting this band on vinyl honestly. Doesn't feel right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I didn't have anything on vinyl for the longest time and ended up grabbing a 2nd press of "Take To The Skies" last year. I REALLY need to get"A Flash Flood Of Colour" because it's definitely my favorite release of theirs. I hate that it's such a pain to get the EU/UK exclusives here in America but it is what it is. Makes it difficult if you're trying for a complete collection. Hopefully they do some really cool stuff with the variants this time around. They have tons of possibilities with that artwork.

xfactor675 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 this band is a total guilty pleasure for me. My mind tells me that I should have been into them at 14 and way outgrown by now, but somehow they do it a way that nearly noone can and I'm so into them at 26 seeing them on Sunday, probably new song(s).

Cats Are Cool Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Loved the first 2 albums, but i personally thought FFOC was god awful so hopefully this album won't disappoint me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markwatson23 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I actually prefer FFOC to Common Dreads but nothing will ever beat TTTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It's up! Didn't go with the deluxe bundle..69€ + shipping is just too much even though they are one of my favourite bands. Ordered the ordinary Vinyl LP wIth the print and the DVD! Hope the deluxe will get cheaper..would snag it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadDonut Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 This is up on the US store now. I posted links to the regular vinyl and the deluxe on the OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The regular variant is pretty damn cool looking and goes great with the artwork. Haven't been into them since Take to the Skies. If whatever song they post sounds promising I might grab this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Guys! I'd really like the U.S. variant as it is gorgeous! If someone orders this anyway, could you order a second one and sell it to me for cost? I will of course pay shipping to Germany! Please hit me up!

So I picked up the 100 12" + book etc, the 7x7" and the standard. Also got uk variants on hold for me. Still only missing the red hand painted live record.

Markwatson23 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Not loving it at first listen but still some decent songs, Never let go of the microscope stands out on first listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OU818 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Definitely not what I expected. This record seems way more focused and mature than the other ones but after 2 listens it's kind of missing the fun element. Still glad I pre-ordered.
