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). [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
