roboticempire Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Got a pretty serious update for ya this week, with new Robotic Empire label releases and a pretty hefty update to our Online Store as well. Here we go... First and foremost, nearly a year in the making is the YOUNG WIDOWS Live Radio Performance April 6, 2009 12". Having known these (solid) dudes since the chaotic heyday of their formerer outfit BREATHER RESIST, up through jumping in the van with them last year...witnessing live and then sneaking off with the sole copy of this radio performance, having it professionally mastered and approaching the band about a release... its suffice to say that YOUNG WIDOWS are essentially OLD KIN at this point. It is with great honor and excitement that we present this fantastic snapshot of these lifers in action. 500 copies of this were pressed on 180 GRAM black vinyl, with skull artwork by SKELETON ROYAL (Dan Davis/BAD SECRETS). A preview track from this live album can be found here and you can pick up the LP now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. At the opposite end of the format spectrum is the 8xCD set from FLOOR, compiling all of the same music from the massive Below & Beyond deluxe box set... creating a more affordable, stripped-down CD-only version (due to overwhelming demand). We made 700 copies of this 8xCD version, most of them available from stores/bigger sites/distros/etc, as well as from the band themselves at their upcoming reunion shows (starting next week)! We actually only got 50 copies for our Online Store, which are now available here. Copies of the deluxe 10xLP, 1x7", 8xCD Box Set version still remain as well. On that note: the deluxe vinyl set is finally DONE and now in house! We've currently shipped out about half of the pre-orders so far and are busting ass to get the rest out ASAP. This has been a lot more labor intensive than we anticipated, and we've chosen to really secure the holy hell out of each box set as opposed to just rushing it. Some extra helping hands have been brought in to expedite things, so everyone who's pre-ordered the FLOOR box set should be receiving their copy soon! Anyone who's still interested in this beast and hasn't picked it up yet: now is the time. Last and possibly least, some additional spring cleaning/moving sale action is under way with a weird string of posters, prints, proofs and other random rarities all up now on ebay. A bunch of John Dyer Baizley (BARONESS) rarities are in there, along with an original TORCHE Meanderthal test print, some Daniel Danger rarities and a bunch of other stuff. These auctions are running for 7 days and everything starts at 99 cents with no reserve: check it out. Oh yeah, we also got a pile of cool stuff for the Robotic Empire - Online Store too. Mostly new jammers & restocks from staples Magic Bullet and Denovali, but also threw online a handful of old Robotic Archive items found during recent cleanup. Just 1 copy of most of those old Robo items, so if you don't see them available on the site they already sold out. For more info on those items you can check our blog, thanks!

oakland Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I said in the other thread that I'll rip the Young Widows vinyl to MP3 for anyone who I'm sure has purchased the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 im remaining as calm as possible while typing this. My Floor box set showed up today at my parents and i am very happy. However due to an open house at my apartment I am now blocked in my driveway for at least the next hour. MOTHER FUCKERS! back to calm. this is easily the most excited i have ever been about a record.

thebaroness Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The Floor boxset turned out amazing. Wish I liked the band enough to justify the purchase. Taking a gamble and hoping the Young Widows record will still be available by the time the new Thou 12" goes up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 this box set is now in my hot little hands. After burritos its Floor all night. and i agree with the above statement about the Thou record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 many great work of john. young widows's live looks awesome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticempire Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words, dudes! There's no MP3 code or CD or anything with the YOUNG WIDOWS 12", just the vinyl on 180 gram and a pretty simple sleeve. Band wanted to keep it simple, so we obliged. I've got bad news: the THOU 12" EP is delayed at least an additional 2-4 weeks, the gatefold jackets are all screwed up and need to be re-printed... so it might not be a great idea to hold out too long on placing an order, but you can see the available quantity of items on our site pretty easily on each individual item's page, near the "add to cart" button. That "quantity available" thing is small, but pretty accurate. Thanks again everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afsdan Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Not a big Floor fan Wish I liked the band enough to justify the purchase. oof. pumped these are starting to arrive. any day now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticempire Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 folks don't gotta like it, just stoked for the genuine appreciation some people are showing for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticempire Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 kinda (pleasantly) surprised to say: the FLOOR 8xCD standalone CD-only versions are going pretty quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 love the cd's but what a pain in the arse to get those things back in. thankfully ill only have to remove them once. Also it's such a small detail but I LOVE the way the 7" is packaged in with the s/t. very neat. I'm still in the infant stages of this monster but everything is great. I cant wait and sit down tomorrow and knock out the whole thing and read the booklet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakeupandlive Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 that Floor boxset looks ridiculous. i'm stoked to see them next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticempire Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 yeah the CDs ended up being more difficult to deal with than I expected, and the 7" insert didn't turn out *exactly* as i'd hoped, but still pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troymess Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 The Floor CD collection alone is tempting because I can't afford the vinyl. Great releases! Can't wait for my YW LP. Thanks for the info on the download/CD, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
