daegor Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 So, no information about packaging or whether or not it's limited. Also, it says double vinyl, but the tracklisting only lists A & B side? I'm think that's a typo and it must be one track per side. The tracks themselves leaked the other day when a small digital store sold them for a short period of time before they were supposed to. They're nothing groundbreaking, but pretty damn good, kinda makes me think of 100th Window and Protection smashed together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I want it so bad. But shipped to me in NY it's $38 for 4 songs. I can't do it. Damnit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm guessing they got the 1-2AB mixed up. I'm guessing it should be 1A 1B 2A 2B and its one track per side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Massive Attack releases post 100th Window have been so expensive. The Burial Remix EP was the only one I did not hesitate to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 If this truly isn't some crazy limited, deluxe packaging (which would be so weird coming from these guys), then I'm definitely waiting for Amazon or my local store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah I wish I had snagged that. I've been burnt on this stuff before which is why I'm tempted. But. Shit. $40 for 4 songs is not gonna happen Massive Attack I'm sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djghost1976 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Take this for what it's worth, but when you add to cart it says that the maximum amount allowed is 10,000. Waiting for an Amazon link…... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 FWIW - it's a really good EP. been listening the past few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 FWIW - it's a really good EP. been listening the past few days. It is, however, it's short by Massive Attack standards, none of the songs are even 5 minutes long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Pitchfork reports: A second EP, written and co-produced by Daddy G, is coming in Spring, with an album to follow later this year. Vector53 and daegor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Probably cut at 45rpm. I'm sure it will sound great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Probably cut at 45rpm. I'm sure it will sound great though. This. Though it still does seem like it's overkill since they could have cut it at 45 in a single LP with two tracks per side and still had lots of deadspace to work with.

fish Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 That limited edition version would be great to own. Add me to the list if anyone goes to either of those shows and grabs a few copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHughes527 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Here's some other links with info about the release, event, etc... Not really that much more info, but it's the official press release that the other articles are paraphrasing... http://www.lazinc.com/exhibitions/1317,3d-massive-attack-ritual-spirit http://www.lazinc.com/content/pdf/2016-02/3d-massive-attack-ritual-spirit-press.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector53 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm going to be satisfied with the regular edition as it sounds like these will sell out quick if they are around for 3 nights. Plus, shipping that record overseas would be expensive as it is. Don't feel like making an ep a 50+ expenditure when i can save it for the real album whenever that comes out. On a positive note, it's nice to have MA back and here's the limited records being worked on by Robert: https://www.instagram.com/robert3delnaja/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 The deluxe will be available tomorrow at the art show, anyone in the area that is able to head down to grab copies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm4 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The deluxe will be available tomorrow at the art show, anyone in the area that is able to head down to grab copies? The allotment at Lazarides sold out and by all accounts, they went fast. Limited to 1 per person. These were being sought out by both vinyl and art collectors so there really wasn't much of a chance that these would last long. There will be 100 (the last of the edition) available in Berlin, but I'm sure those will go fast as well. RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPM Odd, I just got an email a couple of hours ago saying that the first batch of 200 wasn't going to go on sale until tomorrow. Either way, the request still stands!
