Plarocks Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Missed out on the Grid of Points “Special Edition.” I wanted to wait to listen to this first....but I also didn’t want to miss this one. Ordered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldKentuckyShark Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 $30 for a 2xLP? Is this a special edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronchitis Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Not sure if it is a special edition but I am dumb and bought it as fast as possible. I still haven’t listened to Grid of Points or whatever since I wasn’t a big fan if Ruins, but love everything else she has done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, GoP feels like it’s over after you blink, and wasn’t nearly as interesting as her older stuff [including Ruins, in my opinion]. I’m eager to listen to this new release and talk myself into dropping $30 if it’s solid – the photos of the jacket make it look really nice, “limited edition” or not.

I feel like I am on a streak of shitting all over things but yeah, that album bores the hell out of me. I know that sounds weird since a lot of her stuff has the same atmosphere but it’s just hard to get into the whole piano thing after listening to a lot of Helen. Isn’t GoP only like 20ish minutes? Is it along the same lines as Ruins or more guitar based? I guess I can just answer those myself by listening to it when I find the time haha.

Multiverse Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I can't afford the record but the album is astoundingly beautiful. Hopefully it's not too limited easteracrobat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) The packaging looks to be in line with other special editions so maybe it’s just that there is no regular edition (at least not available through Liz for now). edit: looking at the page source the qty available is or was ~273 and the current limit is 27.

Hey, it’s better than badwagoning or pretending something is a lot better than it truly is just to fit into a clique on a message board run by SRC. You like what you like. I also feel like I occasionally get on streaks where it may seem like I’m trying too hard to be a contrarian but it is what it is. I’m not here to impress anyone with my tastes or my thumbs-up / thumbs-down verdicts, as I’m sure you’re not either. GoP is tiny, yeah. A lot less standout moments than Ruins – I’m having a hard time remembering exactly where it goes because I think I’ve only given it 3-4 listens. Anyone else listen to this Nivhek today? First track stole the show for me but the others aren’t bad at all. Very chill listen that I found myself getting pleasantly lost in.

throwgncpr Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Listened to Nivhek and bought immediately. Ruins was spectacular. Really a phenomenal record. Grid of Points was good, but it was brief, and hard to follow Ruins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldKentuckyShark Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Well unless things change this seems to be the only vinyl option out there. I won’t chance missing out so purchased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronchitis Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 It must be a pretty big pressing. I’m surprised it hasn’t sold out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronchitis Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Aside from the fact that I have never listened to GoP, this is some of my favorite material from Liz. I still need to sit down and give it my full attention, but I’m really enjoying what I have listened to so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckydan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Sold out... Sad I missed out but shipping to Canada was more than I could justify. I hope this pops up again elsewhere. OtherVagOption 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Glad I picked this one up! Looking forward to listening in full when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I’ve been streaming this every night since it dropped, right as I’m winding down for the evening and knowing that I’ll nod off within the hour that it runs. It’s the perfect drone lullaby and I’m really into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I've heard good things about this record and plan on listening to it tonight, sucks that it's already (maybe?) gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it sold out earlier today. Exiled Records in Portland usually stock her stuff if you want me to check for you when the record is released.
