roboticempire Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 It’s crazy to think about, but the year is almost over. Everything ramps up surrounding the holidays, and we’re doing a mini “Black Friday” crazy holiday sale, with 30% off all orders $50 or more. This is the biggest blanket-discount we’ve ever done in the Robotic Empire - Online Store, so now is a great time to stock up on killer vinyl, shirts, CDs or whatever you and/or your loved ones are after this holiday season. On that note, we are working through the entire month non-stop, so the “XMASPARTY” coupon code will hook ya up throughout the rest of the year. Just enter it during your checkout and you’re good to go. We’re not giving a definitive “you must get orders in by X date to get stuff by Christmas” like we have in the past – so if you’re trying to get gift-orders in, try and do so ASAP as it’s very tricky to gauge/guarantee shipping times around this season. This would be a good time to mention that we’re currently taking pre-orders for the new repress of ISIS‘ landmark opus, Oceanic. Probably the defining ISIS album now that it’s said and done, showcasing a band at the height of a monumental transition, “Oceanic” was/is hailed by many fans as ISIS’ landmark album, earned widespread critical acclaim and was even dubbed “seminal” by Drowned In Sound. Raising the massive bridge between crushing metal and atmospheric post-rock, ISIS truly came into their own sound on this brilliant sophomore album. This stunning double LP is unquestionably one of ISIS’ pinnacle achievements getting the proper vinyl treatment it so utterly deserves. 2180 total copies were made of this new pressing of Oceanic: 200 on translucent light green, 500 on cream w/green splatter, 1480 on black. Fully printed on reverse-board stock with “tip-on” style gatefold jackets and printed innersleeves, the audio for this new vinyl pressing was carefully remastered by sonic wizard James Plotkin. Explains drummer Aaron Harris, “The clarity that’s been revealed in these songs was surprising even to me. I’ve heard these songs probably thousands of times. When I listened to the remastered version of “Weight” it was like I was back in the studio recording the song. I also noticed a lot of new detail in Jeff’s bass guitar, and energy in the guitars. I know Oceanic is a favorite among fans, and I think this remaster will bring a new appreciation even to those who have heard it many times.” This is available to pre-order now in the Robotic Empire Online Store, and is expected to ship around the first week of December. Big ups & Happy Holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetsuodaironman Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Are these really shipping next week? I ordered my buddy an In Absence of Truth three weeks ago and he has yet to receive his copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzielaskowski Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Today I've checked the store and almost all of the items I've ordered are gone. Good for you Robotic. Still one of my favourite distros around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Awesome sale and these guys work their butts off to get stuff out - but like DIY, sometimes you have to wait a little bit longer. So what? They always come through, and most of you folks are half my age. 30% off a RM of ISIS Classic and a RP - $16 each and no gouging on shipping: $4.xx, keep supporting these dudes. Plus, they get some Denovali and other great Euro distro items. <3 Robotic Empire hzielaskowski and tetsuodaironman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For how small of an operation it is, my records always seems to show up really fast. The more I'm thinking about it, the more I might have to place another order. There was way too much I forgot to put in my cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ight Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Is this the most recent remastering? I thought that ISIS stated it wasn't going to be on vinyl, unless that changed since I last checked. Still very cool; I'm probably gonna grab a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love getting like 7 records for 50 shipped with one being a 22 dollar record... I'm missing a few of The Body's 7"s, but I'm caught up past that (finally). Didn't really have any Thou (besides The Body related stuff), decided to remedy that. Definitely feel like I got a lot for what I spent.

Definitely feel like I got a lot for what I spent. the body is definitely an easier task to get everything. thou is a bit tough if you decide to take the plunge. some of their releases fetch a pretty penny especially for some of the splits.
