simple_torture Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Only the one-sheet is available through Secretly Canadian right now; also mentions limited-edition colored vinyl run of 500. On vinyl for the first time. http://www.secretlydistribution.com/resources/trr246.pdf Quote Sometime in 2001 – sandwiched between the release of Ghost Tropic and its follow-up, the cryptic classic, Didn't It Rain – Songs: Ohia recorded an EP for Temporary Residence's distance-themed subscription series, Travels In Constants. The untitled EP consisted of a single 18-minute song – performed live by Jason Molina in his living room, recorded directly to 4-track cassette as the sounds of a typical Chicago night bled through the air. Built solely from an acoustic guitar and Molina's familiar melancholy croon, it's a hauntingly intimate track. Molina once remarked that it was "probably too out there" for a proper Songs: Ohia album, which is perhaps why is felt right at home in this context. Scarcely available in its original CD-only edition of 1,000 copies, Travels In Constants has finally been remastered and reissued for vinyl and digital formats. Completing this reissue is "Howler," another unusually lengthy Songs: Ohia track that, like “Travels In Constants”, was recorded and released in 2001 in an edition of only 1,000. These tracks are amongst the most abstractly beautiful and alarmingly delicate music that Molina ever committed to tape. It's an honor to finally make it properly available for the world.

simple_torture Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 This was probably 4th or 5th on my list of Molina records that I'd like to see repressed--still very exciting. My current list is probably: 1. Sojourner 2. Mi Sei Apparso Come Un Fantasma 3. Hard to Love a Man EP 4. Our Golden Ratio EP 5. No Moon on the Water 7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Moon on the Water 7" my list is exactly the same, but i would flip 1 and 2. and i say that as someone who already owns Mi Sei Apparso Come Un Fantasma. sadly my copy has some skips.

levitz Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 https://www.temporaryresidence.com/products/trr246?variant=2971394867224 500 on coloured of which first 180 come with original Travels In Constants cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 dang, $10 more for the color vinyl. will do it cuz jason molina, but that is kinda weak. especially since if you aren't in the first 180, you don't even get a cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Was hoping for a cooler pre-order bonus. Secretly Canadian usually does cool stuff, was hoping for a poster or some-such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Well that went quick. Glad I decided to pull the trigger on this one. Doubt I got one of the CDs though frrrrrt. Edited January 8, 2018 by MyEnemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt I got one of the CDs though frrrrrt. I could be wrong but I think the first batch that sold out was the lot of 180 with the CD. My guess is they will put up a new drop down with the remaining 320 exclusive colored vinyl without the CD. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simple_torture Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 BM has copies of the colored LP for cheaper than they're selling the black one: http://www.bullmoose.com/p/26736341 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCowboyPoet Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I hope no one else ordered from Fat Beats, if you did you might want to check your e-mail, they're not getting any colour copies. They claim that every copy of the colour version was set aside for the label's store. A label rep on Twitter claims that's not true so, who knows. I just wish they would have told us before Temporary Residence sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesi Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Did we ever determine whether everyone who ordered the colored from TRL will get the CD? My order states LP+CD, but they never had the colored one up by itself, without the CD, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 From what I have read they just sold the 180 with cds on their website as the rest were going to indie stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Bull Moose also sent out a cancellation email for the colored version. However, they didn't actually cancel my order, so I'm hoping I got in super early and still might get it from them. I'm afraid to ask them about it.

Sampo31 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 TRL stated on Instagram that they sold 250 colored vinyl in their shop & the other 250 will be sent to indie stores, but the menu on their sale page said LP+CD until they sold out (still does). I figured they would change that when the CDs were gone (and maybe even lower the price) but they never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still dunno why TRL doesn't release Explosions in the Sky tho. Would be a killer RSD release.

fish Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) They also released more revery by bonnie billy a couple years back. But supposedly that is the last one they are doing on wax. edit: also just got shipping confirmation from TRL on this so we may be getting them a little early.
