Yes - last Friday in fact. Bought from my local shop who had got it in stock that day.
They should really send out pre-orders first, then send them to record shops.
Yeah, you'd think. I bought it at Boomkat like three months ago and they say the 10th Nov, so I ended up going and buying another from juno.
Anyway....it's been a while but I've ten minutes...
Starting out underneath the strob-a-light as someone once sung...
The Detox Twins - I'm not available HOT! Only 111 lathe copies and sold in a flash but much prized at the cursed House of Shadowplay.
Cute Heels - Silence Complot I was carrying stuff for my kid's night at the weekend and found it pretty hard to not embarass them by getting up for this, after all it's my record.
Sumerian Fleet - Still Walkingmuch of this record is hilariously fun goth EBM that comes on like Klinik crossed with the Sisterhood or (whisper it) A Split Second (kids this video isn't a spoof -
MAMBO WITCH!, playing this out means taking two copies into the shower due to the call the UN guitar solo). However this is of course more in the Giving Ground area.
Sumerian Fleet - This Game Has No Name this track has been floating about since Andrew Eldrich was a boy, originally by FFF (Florence Foster Fanclub) which is pretty much Sumerian Fleet anyway and in this case remixed to fit the rest of the album.
Btw is you don't know it, do yourself a favour and check out SF member Alden Tyrell's Tyrell Corporation song
'Together Alone', it's an absolute dark disko classic.
JASSS - Every Fish in the Pond mean eyed horror EBM, rides on a riddum that reminds me of Hazel.
The JASSS single on
12' on Mannequin is also a total killer with it's SO ME electrobilly goes Annie Anxiety shtick but this record is a step up in atmosphere and execution.
F ingers - Your Confused revisited from earlier cassete but just MAGNIFICENT, beautiful and queasily disorientating ghost dub to wobble your capstans. A must buy.
Jane Weaver + Virginia Wing - It starts Again really great cover of the fantastic
Suzanne Menzel original. It's on a single sided 12' split with Noveller and Death & Vanilla called
Lost Library Vol 1. Incidentally all the young witches in my home coven LOVE the
Virginia Wing elpee.
Folklore Tapes - The Folklore of Plants Vol. I no individual tracks to post but take my word for it, it's a superb release and will provide a delightful hour of multi media reading and listening.
Ruede Hagelstein - Footprints feat. C.A.R. the rest of this record isn't amazing but this is.
The Neon Judgement - TV Treated (Dave Clarke Gothic Remix) the
original is an all time classic that I've shook my coconuts to more times than I care to admit but this brings enough to keep the party going.
Gazelle Twin - Metro beautufully unsettling
Ennio Morricone - Dies Irae Psichedelico one of those tracks that get most anyone on their feet, it might be a requium but the dancefloor is still alive.
Lifetones - Good Side I've been re-riding the joyous riddums of this stone classic over the summer.
one of those lost classics
Zola Jesus - Wiseblood Middle wee Shadowplay is obsessed with Nika but I sense it's going over the hump now, since she's only played this lots instead of constantly. I've not actually played this record myself but I have heard it SO many times, including a fairly memorable drive on the day it came out where we hammered up the Argyll Coastal route in a car with a mighty stereo absolutely blasting it at levels that had old man me begging ENOUGH!
Zola Jesus - Remains
Annabel (lee) - Paris, Room 14 (Live Version) beautifully honeyed bossa nova flutter (live version whih sounds not unlike the reorded version)
Céline - Open one of those great songs few folk know.
Gilroy Mere - The Green Line incredibly evocative and beautiful record and just exquisitely packaged and realised by Clay Pipe. Non spotify links to five
songs here. Interestingly, it has a wee bit on the equipment used on the sleeve.
Cloclan - Cannon Rock, '72 Mrs S had played this to DEATH since she got it. She's a Boards of Canada superfan and this is probably the next best thing. Really beautiful and captivating record.
