The Vool Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Euro at 1.19 is the lowest I can remember (good for US buying Euro music), but still puts this close to $35ppd to the US. Horrible for me... I'm thinking 4x before actually buying from the US; this exchange rate is really confining me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Been out for a while. What's the forum consensus so far??? I think it was cool (and sort of proggy) for them to take a gamble and go for a concept album, putting the Kitsune myth to music. (that Kitsune theme seems to be rather popular the past few years) It's priced at $19.00 at Century Media for 2xLP + CD but before you get all lathered up, shipping option is only PRIORITY, no media mail: $11.25 http://www.cmdistro.com/toundra-iv-double-black-vinyl-cd.html Should come with Prime Rib or room service for $11.25 Only made my decision much easier tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Check amazon.de, should be the exact same thing and maybe cheaper for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepriz Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 People been listening to this? It's really strong in the middle (tracks 4-6). The trumpet and string part is so epic and can't help but remind me of sigur ros. The rest of the album seems just 'okay' but I'm only 2-3 listens in. Sometimes I just feel like they are one build up away from getting heavy and sludgy and I wanna lose my shit but then it never happens. I know that's not really them but personally once or twice in this album would substantially break it up and make it stronger. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for bumping this thread. I've been meaning to get back to it with my first impressions. After two listens, I'm surprisingly pretty sold. There aren't really any moments that stand out enough for me to drop what I'm doing to check and see what the song is called, but I think it consistently delivers. There isn't really a "dry stretch" where something interesting or gorgeous isn't gracing my ears, and I do admire that. Is it as strong as (II) or (III)? Eh. That's still to be decided for me. But as it stands, I think I'd definitely love to own it at some point. The fact that there are no limited variants to pursue makes it nice to put on the back-burner, but... damn. That gatefold and art seems like such a waste without some vibrant wax to accompany it. [edit] As an aside – great vinyl library, Davepriz. I know I've seen you on the boards before, and I'm almost positive I've checked out your collection before... but you've got one of the nicer, more well-rounded collections I've seen here at VC. I feel like we could be musical BFFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agreed, super collection @davepriz - just need to get a token King Crimson album for continuity, and you're all set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time viewer and casual poster and always enjoy your involvement and presence here! Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
