It should come as no surprise that we are big Flying Lotus fans over here at OMGV. I was pretty excited when I saw this item in the restock section of my local record store’s weekly emailer. This is the debut album from the enigmatic producer and it surely deserves a spot in your record [...]
Relapse just launched the preorder for the upcoming Agoraphobic Nosebleed LP, “Agorapocalypse”. Can’t say I’m the hugest fan of the band, but the gatefold cover artwork by Florian Bertmer and the 28 page booklet make it a must-buy. The total pressing is 1000 copies (100 on clear, 400 on 180g black, and 500 on green). [...]
Fat Beats just got some copies of this highly sought after 12″ by Erykah Badu in stock. “The Healer” b/w “Real Thang” includes two tracks, both produced by Madlib, one not even on the album. The cover artwork was done by Emek. Grab one now for $15.99 at FatBeats.com. [Audio clip: view full post to [...]
Capitol is keeping it rolling with the Beastie Boys reissues. Next up is a remastered version of “Check Your Head” due out April 7th. The quality of the Paul’s Boutique reissue was top-notch, so you can expect similar things of this reissue. Pressed onto two pieces of 180-gram vinyl and housed in a gatefold jacket. [...]
Kompakt’s much loved and long-running series is back in 2009 with another dose of spaced-out techno. This year’s series is a little darker than usual, featuring as it does tracks by Tim Hecker, Klimek and Wolfgang Voigt under his MINT alias. The LP version also includes a CD of the entire album with a ten [...]
More dusty than digital. This highly influential album from El-P, Big Juss, and the one and only Mr. Len is being remastered and repressed by Definitive Jux. About damn time. This is due for a May 5th release date, and as usual, the fine folks at Insound have got a pre-order up and running already. [...]
Fat Beats Distribution recently shipped Stones Throw Records the last 94 copies of the long out-of-print MRR-ADM 10″. This record has alot of mystery around it, but here are the facts: Only 1000 were produced, it features at least one guy from The Heliocentrics, it is an insane slab of heavy, heavy psychedelic funk beats, [...]
Krallice, the black metal collaboration between Mick Barr (of Orthrelm and Ocrilim) and Colin Marston (of Behold…The Arctopus and Dysrhtymia) released one of 2008′s surprise records. Gilead Media will finally be giving this one a proper vinyl release, limited to 300 copies on green with black smoke and 500 copies on TRUE CVLT BLACK. Even [...]
First of all, big thanks to DeadFormat for the info on this one. Looks like both Insound and Amazon have launched preorders for the Ipecac Records pressing of Isis’ new Wavering Radiant 2xLP. Insound has it for $22.99 (though you can use that “bday10″ promo code for 10% off), while Amazon is charging $23.73. Check [...]
Phil Elverum is an unbelievably prolific musician, but this collection is an especially important one. “Dawn” compiles a load of 19 songs that Elverum recorded while staying at a remote cabin in Norway. Many of these songs have since seen fuller-blown release, but hearing them stripped back to just vocals and acoustic guitar makes them [...]
Guillermo Scott Herren aka Prefuse 73 is about as seasoned as they come. He has been cranking out downtempo/hip-hop/idm records for quite awhile now, and his newest, “Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian”, just got released on vinyl. Longtime fans should be into this, even if it is a bit more frenetic than his usual stuff [...]
Minneapolis rock band Vampire Hands are pretty awesome, even though you may have never heard of them before. They just released this new “Two EP’s” record which, you guessed it, collects two EP’s in one package. From what I can tell, this is a very limited release that was intended to be an exclusive on [...]
How about some ISIS vinyl news? Always a welcome announcement, Isis will be releasing a new album this spring, and it promises to absolutely kill. It looks like Conspiracy Records in Belgium will be the first to release the vinyl edition, coming out April 21st, two weeks before the CD version is even released. Conspiracy [...]
Well Kranky just keeps releasing high-quality albums, and we just keep talking about them. Third up this year from my new favorite label is a side project from Deerhunter guitarist/songwriter Lockett Pundt called Lotus Plaza. The debut album is called “Floodlight Collective” and if you like Deerhunter or Atlas Sound then you are going to [...]
This is great news. On May 19th, Sub Pop and Iron & Wine will be releasing “Around the Well”, a triple LP chock full of out-of-print and never-before-released cuts. Vinyl Collective has been nice enough to go ahead and offer you the chance to pre-order this destined to be amazing collection, so you can sleep [...]
