The SYNTHWAVE Thread


Recommended Posts

it just showed up, and my order status hadnt changed before it shipped.  seeing as it would of made it into town (about as far from berlin as possible) last friday, it must have been in the air at least 7 days prior.

 

sounds phenomenal. SUPER clean pressing, no issues at all.  if i had to be picky, it is ever so slightly bowled .. like a  tiny tiny tiny bit.  doesnt cause any problems.

 

sleeve has a couple sligth creases, manufacturing most likely. its a big sleeeve and the stock could be heavier, if ihad to be picky.

 

art is dope, red vinyl is red.. tunes are pretty epic.

 

dig

 

damn. i ordered before you and still nothing.

Perturbator "The Uncanny Valley" [2016]

PRE-ORDER: early March, 2016.
RELEASE: May 6th, 2016.

ARTWORK: Ariel ZB

Continuing in the same story thread as previous works, Perturbator's fourth album "The Uncanny Valley" takes place 24 years after the finale of "Dangerous Days." Focus shifts from the world of Nocturne City into the future alleys of Tokyo, after the conclusion of the War Against Machines.

This story is your story - you are the motorcycle helmet-clad vigilante known as the Night Driving Avenger. Your narrative intertwines with a female android/assassin, fighting for liberty and equality in a cynical world that attempts to eradicate all traces of the machines. Together, you attempt to dismantle an underground faction who spreads their message of hate through a false religion - its recruiting station is the black church that hovers over the city.

DEFINITION:

The uncanny valley is a phenomenon in robotics engineering whereby a humanoid robot bearing a near-identical [but not perfect] resemblance to a human causes a response of revulsion among the observer. The "valley" refers to a dip in the graph of comfort level as humanoid subjects move toward a healthy, natural human likeness.

Here's some more info on the bonus EP:

 

 

As an addendum to “The Uncanny Valley” main album, there will be a long-form epilogue that includes further ruminations on themes within the storyline. The bonus EP will be released alongside the main album and contains four brand new tracks and three alternate versions of Perturbator album tracks.

The first three songs complement the themes covered within “The Uncanny Valley,” and the final track - “VERS/US” - is a demo from “The Uncanny Valley” writing sessions that fits the mood and atmosphere of the album but didn't quite make it into the final cut.

The bonus EP runs approximately 40 minutes in length, bringing the total experience of “The Uncanny Valley” in its special edition form to almost two hours.

TRACK LIST:

1. Vile World
2. The Church
3. Consecration
4. Hard Wired [instrumental]
5. Venger [instrumental]
6. Future Club [Arcade Version]
7. VERS/US [Demo]

 

and a song from it:

 

Edit: also also, Dangerous Days, I Am the Night and TERROR 404 vinyl represses are coming as well.

So this is gonna be fun  :unsure:

 

"The Uncanny Valley" and all the new merch will go for pre-order next week on a random day and time. Final release date on everything is on May 6th. A lot of questions about that, but we will just put them for sale randomly so hopefully Blood Music's server can handle all the F5s. Thanks for the really high interest so far !
