roboticempire Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Whoa, things are INSANE here. Hot on the heels of the FLOOR - Below & Beyond box set completion + shipment madness and KILLER reunion shows, we've got another round of new releases and general chaos over here. We nabbed 25 more copies of the Below & Beyond 8xCD set from our distributor, but they've already flown outta here. We're getting the remaining unsold band copies in a week or so, and that's probably it. The deluxe vinyl version is still available, and we're also scoring the band's unsold t-shirts in roughly a week too. Beyond Below & Beyond (oof, sorry), we are psyched to announce yet another Robotic Empire label release from a sick South Florida band. CAPSULE's collections LP, Tape + Demo + Tour + More, is now available after being several years in the making. 15 tracks of totally berzerker complicatedcore, or, everything these ADD maniacs recorded prior to the Blue album we released a couple years ago. The release turned out rad with super bright artwork and a high-gloss finish (ala Blue) too, with some pretty outrageous colored vinyl to top it all off. Pretty sure we ordered 200 of the "snow drift" and "slime mold" colors, and 800 of the "cola" which turned out a rad translucent brown. Actually, they all turned out pretty sweet! This is technically a pre-order since it drops in stores/etc on April 13th (so expect them to arrive around that date), but we've got them in house now and they're good to go! Some tracks from that can be heard here (last 2 tracks) and/or ordered now in our Online Store. We were supposed to also have the TIDELAND LP and THOU Baton Rouge vinyl for this update as well, but both of those have hit production snags and unfortunately won't be available for a few more weeks at the earliest. Sons of Vesta has their copies of the killer debut TIDELAND album now (we co-released it with them) as does the band themselves, but ours are weirdly MIA for the time being. More on that soon... In the meantime, we decided to drop a cassette version of the phenomenal THOU - Baton Rouge, You Have Much To Answer For EP since the gatefold jackets for the vinyl version have to be completely reprinted. UGH. The tape turned out cool though with black/white/red covers, a black & white cassette, plus a two-color patch for good measure. Limited to 200, this should hopefully tide you over until the vinyl edition is finally ready for real, hopefully in just a few weeks. Listen to this in its entirety on our myspace and/or the band's website (along with everything they have released). This tape is available now in our Online Store. Another healthy round of new items & restocks have been added to the Robotic Empire - Online Store as well, with a variety of good jams across the spectrum. Notable is the GET RAD stuff from Hyperrealist along with re-stocks of POLLUTION and RAEIN (both sold out quick last time). Also worth mentioning are the Red Cobalt label items imported from Japan (2 new, 1 restock)... they are expensive but deluxe to the max! Add in some crucial Hydra Head staples, a big pile of stuff we got from Ebullition and some other rando items... and this is a darnright stacked update! Please see the Robotic Empire News Blog for the full list, since we've been asked to not post it all here. Phew! Wow that's a solid round of stuff. Please check out all this (and more) in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smailtronic Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 That Thou title is too perfect. As a resident of Baton Rouge, I definitely approve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticempire Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 The green CAPSULE lp is definitely the coolest looking of the 3, very tripped out. THOU tape/12" EP (when it drops) is primarily about Baton Rouge, with some very intense songs and topics. REALLY good jams, probably my favorite of theirs yet.
