On – Your Naked Ghost Comes Back at Night – 2xLP

I fully realize that we have been blogging about every release the Type label puts out. It can’t be helped. My objective is to hype you to high quality vinyl releases, and this label absolutely fails to disappoint. Your Naked Ghost Comes Back at Night is a strange beast. Originally released on CD in 2004, [...]

Cave In – Planets of Old – Exclusive Vacation Vinyl Colored LP

I’ll be brief. If you like this band then you know you want this. So hop to it. Stream it here. Order it here. Quickly. EDIT: Sold out. You can order copies from Chel Vanin [at] HydraHead [dot] com for a limited time.

Ajilvsga – The Muddy Banks of the Arkansas – LP

Don’t really know much about this duo as they have previously released mainly CD-Rs and cassettes and for better or for worse, I tend to avoid both of those formats. I saw the phrase “caustic drone masterpiece” mentioned in the write-up, my interest was piqued and now my wallet is $16 lighter. Doesn’t hurt that [...]

My Bloody Valentine – Before Loveless – 2xLP

Not sure exactly how “legit” this 2xLP is, but it was nice for someone to gather these hard-to-find My Bloody Valentine EPs into one place. $20 gets you three pre-Loveless EPs (Ecstasy and Wine, Feed Me With Your Kiss and You Made Me Realise) on two pieces of vinyl. According to Discogs, this is limited [...]

Jóhann Jóhannsson – Englabörn – LP

Thanks to Peter for tipping us off on this one. Touch Records has brought us this long in the making vinyl LP version of the 2002 album from Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson. As far as “modern classical” recordings go, this is pretty much a bonafide classic from one of the most reputable and longstanding labels [...]

Harvey Milk – The Weston Sessions – 2xLP

Hey there! Are you familiar with this band? Into it? You might should act quick fast on this. This is the first time ever that The Weston Sessions has been released on any sort of touchable, smellable, enjoyable format. The Weston Sessions being allegedly the unreleased very first album from this band Harvey Milk that [...]

James Blackshaw – The Glass Bead Game – LP

Looks like 12-string virtuoso James Blackshaw has found a new home on Michael Gira’s Young God Records and I’m happy to see his newest release The Glass Bead Game is getting the vinyl treatment. Not quite as psyched about there being one track left off the vinyl edition but its done to preserve the audio [...]

Beastie Boys – Ill Communication – 2xLP Reissue

The Holy Trinity of Beastie Boy reissues is now complete as far as I’m concerned. Today marks the release date of the 2xLP remastered reissue of Ill Communication, simply one of the best hip-hop albums ever made for white people. Buying the double album also gets you access to all the extra b-sides in digital [...]

Eleh – Homage to the Sine Wave – Limited Edition LP

Newest release from this mysterious purveyor of pure analog bass drone. These tones are ideally experienced with high fidelity speakers placed approximately 3 meters away from the listener whilst he or she is immersed in a warm bath. If you can’t get enough of this sort of thing, some older OOP Eleh releases can also [...]

Cougar Den “Keepondrifter” LP and Battlefields “Entourage of the Archaic” 12″ Preorders

Init Records just launched preorders for two of their most highly-anticipated releases.  First and foremost, Milwaukee metal/screamo/hardcore band Cougar Den’s debut full-length, “Keepondrifter”.  What makes this one special is that the opaque-blue LP will be housed in a four color screenprinted cover by everyone’s favorite poster artist, Aaron Horkey.  If that’s not enough to entice [...]
