I can vouch for Shelter From The Ash as I have a copy of that. I search out the others noted here. They're all on the list. I found that during COVID, while out walking, escaping the uncertainties of what COVID brought, that his music seemed to fit and help make sense. It felt like music that lends ...

Cheers, Angel-Sighs. Yes, been picking up a few Laps over he last couple of years - Veiled Sea, Companion Rises, Asleep..., Burning Thresholds, Hexadiac I, Ascent and the release for the music library (Name escapes me ATM) and I think there are a couple I'm getting MP3 only that there was an email a...

First heard of Six Organs of Admittance from here during lockdown and it really hit homes in those times. They've now become a favourite. 1st listen of 'Ascent' today. Really liking it. Fair to say an in-between of Comets On Fire and his more folky, acoustic stuff or even more recent releases? Also,...

I wasn't going to buy this until an email came in from Bella Union. Suckered into it. Damn these direct marketing corporate pigs!

rapideye

Yeah, you're right. Going off the rails back in the 90s and an article I read recently suggested he was still in the thick of troubles. I still hoped it'd be worth seeing. As the Wife said, stick to the LPs from now on.

rapideye

After missing Rose City Band in Norwich, I saw that The Lemonheads were playing so a little nostalgia trip for an evening and thought it could be quite cool. Always really liked them and have been listening regularly to Shame About Ray recently. Man, it was bad and easily the worst gig I've seen. Af...

Actually, I have received it. LP had been left in a bunch of boxes at the back of my house. No idea it was there and it was only found cos my daughter decided to clear it up. Her deciding to clear anything up is a miracle in itself, nevermind finding the LP. I guess I'll be listening to it later.

rapideye

I also ordered it and haven't received it yet. Messaged via Bandcamp and got a quick reply to say he'll look into it. Shipping seems to have been made by third company. I was also really looking forward to after such a long wait.

rapideye

I went to The Brudenell a few weeks ago to see Flat Worms and support as I was in Leeds and had dropped off 16yr and her friends who were off to their first gig at The Apollo. Just remember thinking...fuck me, this is loud

The Smile on nice yellow vinyl that sounded great (take note). I was wondering when this all started why this wasn't just a Radiohead release (Tom aside). I can see why now. Lovely sounding, great range of songs, a bit of everything done well. First listen already suggests songs that will easily com...

rapideye

I was also at Mogwai last night. Brilliant. My first time at the Ally Pally. Lovely venue, no idea the view of London was so good from up there.

rapideye

Finally bought the LP a few days ago and only now got the chance to listen to it. Lots have been said already, so I'll keep it brief...Yes, like it. Strong songs that fit and flow. I would change a couple of minor things but, hey, that's because I'm a perfectionist :D and have been spoiled with Jase...

Spiritualized at Cambridge last night. After 2 years of wtf-ery, this was my first gig and a complete joy. Band played really well and tight. Songs had a great level of intensity. When the sound was full-on, band really powering and backing singers elevating the sound to the heavens, it just was jus...

rapideye

Shines - I'm slightly consoled by the fact that your black vinyl sounds ok. I didn't buy the Ltd edition as I'd been put off by the re-release fiasco and the post suggesting that the black vinyl needed to be returned, typically made me think that was the wrong choice. Still haven't got a copy yet an...

rapideye

Pretty nice. One to look into a bit more.

rapideye

More excellent news...Norwich show

rapideye

Run Out Groove is awesome. Just now it's been Big Jet Plane and Free blowing me away. I always loved this during mid-90's and I played it more than Screamadelica. I love things eclectic and this was separate to Britpop, so caught my attention. I think this version would've been treated harshly back ...

rapideye

Arse! I've just bought myself this at the full.price as a present for tomorrow. Shhh...It's a surprise. Mind you someone else was paying, so I guess I can't complain.

rapideye

https://youtu.be/XqfIpKu3fmY

I like this. No, it's not U2.

rapideye

I wonder if the sound quality is better on the Rough Trade one, with none of the errors? If it's a later pressing is that possible?
You could swap the records and send back the crappy pressing in the crappy sleeve..

lol...you evil genius, you

rapideye

Spzretent & BZA - thanks for the replies. I do believe that they're pissed at this. Surely, must be. I'm sure it has been said before but for Jason to have gone to such lengths for both vinyl & CD releases in the past, 'mortifying' is an appropriate word to describe the catalogue of issues w...

rapideye

Spzretent - So, do they intend to do anything about it? What about 2nd pressings? I only want a nice version of Pure Phase. I now have three copies I don't really want to listen to. I've got copies of everything else, so have no intention of buying below par releases for the sake of it. Anyone want ...

rapideye

I'm pretty happy with this on 1st listen. Looking forward to the release now. A gig to go to will be cool too. Looking for a euro trip, Covid willing, to have a weekend with the Missus. The Dam would be perfect, Jason, and you'd love it too.

rapideye

6 Music just announced a brand new Soz track to be played. That caught my attention.

rapideye

Hmmm...I was fairly sure I wasn't going to go for the LICD release and still not sure I've changed my mind yet. But I'm tempted. I like the idea of having a box set to hold lovely versions of the LPs but, to date, have these been good enough to shell out on? LGM was good, I thought, but PP has been ...

rapideye

I'm in a bit of a quandry with the LAGWAFIS release. I'm not particularly bothered by the blue vinyl, not just because of the GITD dark problems but because the VMP release was blue too. I'm thinking of getting the black LP and playing that as my go-to and keeping the VMP for Sunday best. I'm not a ...

rapideye

GYBE - G_d's Pee...really liking this on first listen. Seems an easier listen than some of their releases. Some of it life affirming even. Vinyl package great, but then they usually are. Liking the 12"/10" and the side that never ends. Love that shit.

rapideye

Apart from Pure Phase...

GYBE - Luciferian Towers
GYBE - G_d's Pee At State End
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Carnage
Nick Cave & Bad Seeds - The Firstborn Is Dead
New Order - Movement

rapideye

I received a black version to replace the GITD version today (mind you they don't want the GITD version back) and still found the same issue. Played it on my Daighter's more basic turntable and no skips but doesnt sound great. Fiddled a bit with my set-up, which I dont really do too often as it was ...

rapideye

No badges for me either. I have been in touch with Kontraband who are replacing the dodgy GITD vinyl with a black version. Very quick response. Shame the GITD version wants better but I'll be chuffed at having a great sounding PP.

rapideye

Ok, that's cool. Same as what I've got. Hopefully, I can replace the GITD for a black vinyl.

rapideye

Ok, good to hear that the black version sounds good. That's the way forward for me.

So did you get separate prints?

rapideye

I agree the packaging being very nice and it looks great. As far as the prints go, do you mean you got separate prints or are the prints your referring to those on the inner sleeves? I didn't get badges either but that's not the end of the world. On the whole, the sound is ok to me and I did enjoy l...

rapideye

Lp sounds great to me. Nice package. All very satisfying.

rapideye

Maybe not much but we all love a happy ending all the same!

rapideye

and conclude with Amazing Grace? unpopular opinion but I'd love a remastered Amazing Grace. ...I'm with this. AG is a great album. I think it's got all, if not most, of the ingredients of a brilliant recording. Enough to go down as top 4 Spz album for me. I'm excited about Pure Phase though and not...

rapideye

...just really beautiful.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Another vote for The Six Organs of Admittance - Companion Rises. It's been getting lots of plays this year and I'm working through picking up other releases. I'm lucky in that I can get out and about easily around here for exercise and these releases have sat well with the outdoors under the current...

Another late Happy New Year to everyone. I can only be optimistic towards things opening up and having a little more freedom to enjoy things towards the summer. GIve it month or so til reality sets in and disappointment returns. IMO Brexit was always a shit-show and nothing has changed my mind one b...

rapideye

And when you posted that a package arrived I was sure that your Wife had bought herself the Stevie Nicks LP instead.

rapideye

I listened to it again last night which was the 3rd time with this and on the 1st track started picking up that the backing singers are singing the I Can't Help Falling in Love behind Jason quite early in the song...I don't think I'd ever noticed that before. Really picked up on that last night. Jus...

rapideye

I also got my copy today and pretty impressed with it. Lovely packaging and nice bit of vinyl. I'm only a couple of songs in but I think it sounds a marked improvement to the Plain release. I always thought the Plain issue sounded a bit flat and my first listen to that copy was an anti-climax. I'm m...

Hi, yes, I am in the Norwich area. Out towards the coast but have worked in Norwich since moving in '09 and spend a lot of time in the City. And, Paul, yes, Soundclash. Sold it to me when I found out they stocked Mississippi Records (...in East Anglia?!). I've only been here for 10 years though. Kel...

So, maybe we need a 'What gigs were you supposed to attend but have now been postponed?' a bit depressing? For me, Nick Cave in London in May has been postponed. Pretty gutted as it would be great but also my Wife and I were having our first night away without Kids to head off to see it. Never-mind,...

What with working from home and looking after Kids for the last week, my music listening is till best done on a Saturday night when they are all in bed. I mean I listen to music pretty much all day from the radio and when walking the dog but tonight is probably the only time I get to stick the turnt...

A long, long time since I last posted, so hi All. Thanks for giving me an outlet to post in. Been meaning to post many times but kept struggling with log-in. Could never quite sort it out. Log-ons mainly. WTF was that password?! how are you? Ok, thanks for asking, Reality has dawned over the last we...

rapideye

Even aside from the main purpose of your company that benefits these people that was such a cool thing to do. Pat on the back from me.

rapideye

Yep, I guess so, not technically ltd. Still, when they start including actual recorded tape (however small) it kind of feels to me to be a ltd release. You can't say they aren't beautifully done though.It looks great. The only ltd/special release I'm not keen on is King Of The Limbs.

rapideye

I usually shell out on the ltd edition packages but I will be giving this one a miss. I think that at £100 it is just a bit steep. The 3 LP set is what I will go for. At £23 that seems reasonable. I have never paid £100 for any release, so I'm not sure what they would have to have included to make m...

rapideye

We're all off to Florida on Thursday to be dragged around the parks by our Kids for two weeks. Obviously, I'll need Rapid-time to relax so looking forward to stocking up on your US beers. Going to take note of some of the suggestions here as a start. Any further suggestions I should look out for?

rapideye

Thanks for the advice. I can't knock Rega and it has served me well over the years but I couldn't help wonder at how much better the sound would be. Pricewise, there wouldn't be much difference between the inspire upgrade, new tonearm and cartridge than it would be for a new RP6 or Clearaudio Concep...

rapideye

Well done, Laz. Very timely posting as I was trying to find my copy of the CDs a couple of weeks ago and no sign of them.

rapideye

I'd love to be part of this. Really like the idea of branded USB.

rapideye

Time flies doesn't it? I remember seeking out my copy after purchasing Pure Phase when I read about the Spaceman in the NME. Managed to find the Chain With No Name issue with the 7" and I'm pretty sure that I paid £12 for it from Revolution Records in Windsor. Finding the band at this time of m...

rapideye

I've been looking to upgrade my system starting with the turntable. I have an older Planar 3 at the moment but I've been looking at the newer P3 as well as the RP6 or the Clearaudio but as yet I haven't visited a store or tried a demo. I'm on holiday for the next couple of weeks but intend to start ...

rapideye

This has all been a surprise. I had no knowledge of the banning etc until this appeared. I can't say that I am for the banning but from the reasoning that Spzretent has offered I can understand it. Everyone is allowed an opinion but that doesn't mean we have to have it forced on us. He was a difficu...

I remember after reading a couple of posts of his that I thought a little obnoxious, he posted his PS I Love You songs. Pffft I thought, clicked to listen expecting to hear a pile of crap. Bugger! They were actually pretty good. I had been completely OUTMUSCLED.
