hallowken78 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I waited to order the vinyl until I listened to the whole album on Friday.....and proceeded to order a clear and a Dan Greene edition. Fantastic album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Armed make their feature film debut with ULTRAPOP: Live At The Masonic Temple, an incredible narrative-driven concert film directed by Tony Wolski, presented by Sargent House. Part “Lemonade,” part “Live at Pompeii” and fully infused with a sense of Lynchian dread - the project is a stunningly-filmed cinematic document of live performances taking place within the opulent chapels, imposing asylum rooms, full-size indoor handball courts, halls (and more) of the mysterious Masonic Temple of Detroit; a 550,000 square foot fortress in the heart of the city. Live performance and story-driven narrative melt seamlessly into one another, as the film confronts themes of identity, information warfare, the commoditization of artistic product, and commodification of the artist. The film also definitively shines a light on The Armed’s often-mysterious, collaborative structure—revealing an ever-changing lineup over the course of its runtime as they perform tracks off The Armed’s break-out album ULTRAPOP, selections from their second LP, Only Love and CYBERPUNK 2077 single “Night City Aliens”. The movie culminates in the ultimate catharsis with the entire collective converging for the devastating closer ”On Jupiter.” Edited September 14, 2021 by hallowken78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no.one Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 sounds kinda interesting though... Last 'live' album that intrigued me similarly was .clipping.'s from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no.one Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 comes with a $50 poster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 It's pricy but the package sounds amazing: Quote 180g, black + white vinyl in a gorgeous double-gatefold jacket with gloss varnish logo stamping and a 26 page, full-color booklet of stunning photography from the film. Each ultraluxe copy comes with an exclusive fold out movie poster that is hand-numbered and signed by Dan Greene, himself. Elsewhere it was confirmed that the score is by Ben Chisholm of Chelsea Wolfe. So we're getting the live tracks and Ben Chisholm score on this. I grabbed the vinyl and a ticket to the digital premier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallowken78 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Ordering the record should include a ticket to see the movie. That'd probably get me to bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its interesting to see them sort of blow up the mysterious aspect of the band and now lean in on this universe they've created. Like it really seems to help set up a sandbox where on the next album the music videos and promo will build on whats shown in the movie. If that's what they want to do. My only complaint about the movie is that it seems possible that elements of the live performances are faked in the interest of moving the narrative forward. hallowken78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved how the songs were significantly different than the album versions. I felt like it had a good balance between the narrative and the performance. Looked gorgeous. If you've been following the lore it answered some questions and added some new ones. Literally my only gripe is that the end of On Jupiter wasn't longer. hallowken78 and Carden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdturbo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hopefully there's a VOD or something planned down the line because it was too good to have disappear after a couple weeks. Carden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine we WON'T see a physical release at some point, it was revealed that it was mixed in 5.1 and apparently you can stream it at 5.1 but who actually has a set up for that?

It sounded fucking awesome on my AirPods Pro with Spatial Audio on. I'm not sure it was mimicking 5.1 but it sounded incredible. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it in 5.1 and it was incredible! Worth finding a friend with a home theater setup to get the full experience. Hoping for a physical release down the line so I can watch it over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
