anyway, mixed grr at the wealth of bonus on that CD set. i mean, i'm psyched for more DS, but the vinyl buyer feels a wee bit cheezed, pressured to buy again what i already own.

Yeah feels very mean. It would be nice if they would at least issued some sort of download credits for vinyl buyers.

Not that I bought the vinyl myself lol, but yeah I would feel gypped buying this SUPER LIMITED MUST BUY thing only to find that a CD boxed set with bonuses was in the offing.

eh, kind of have to expect that, tbh.

six tracks in 40 min, though! figure "quiet sky" is probably like 20m on its own.

This looks like something I should already have got, I think I was dissuaded by the title.

if curious, check out "forest of evil" (either version) and "repository of light"

Triptych has leaked. It's less overwhelming than I expected (not in regards to quality, but quantity). I also expected "quiet sky" to be 20 odd minutes, but it is just a three minute cool down track. All up there is another 40 odd minutes scattered throughout.

Do you mean the bonus tracks leaked? Isn't the rest of this released material?

Sorry, no the entire three cd set has leaked.

So yes it's mostly already released material. I was referring to quantity of new material to take in.

"All up there is another 40 odd minutes scattered throughout."

That's another whole EP so that doesn't seem too bad. Kinda surprised the only Forest of Evil extra is so short though yeah.

Oh yeah, only in the context of a triple CD could that be considered less than expected.

Oh good lord.

Andy did you review this for the AMG? (I was going to ask for that but I saw it had already been claimed.)

Yeah.

The package is nice but it doesn't fit with anything else and the discs easily slide out.

I know, kinda ridiculous! Admit it looks nice though.

Dammit I want this thing.

Nick, are you aware they're playing Brighton on the 10th? I can't go as I'm away, but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Hmm...probably going to pick this up. I just have the Osmosis mix CD which is pretty cool.

Wow, thanks for the tip Emily! Why am I so good at missing these things?

Also just spotted theyre in london 18th feb with raime and john roberts

Goddamn. Loved the Raime I've heard, loved the John Roberts too but his aesthetic seems to be a whole different thing.

ok lol @ ilm

Triptych seems to have hit the shops today - just ordered it from Honest Jon's.

The non-EP tracks on this are bloody great, I can't believe this band.

Have this on order, but keeps getting delayed :(

It's worth the having, for sure.

Been digging one of these guys' tune - some dark middle-eastern percussive thing (lol - prob 80% of their stuff, right?) so wondering whether I should go straight for the 3 CD set or start with their first one - any major difference between releases?

Something about the three disk set's overwhelming length makes it more effective than picking and choosing. Symbiosis has lot of good stuff, but the whole of Tryptic feels like it might end up considered a classic.

I dunno. I loved everything I heard, feverishly anticipated the 3xCD thing - and still have not listened to it all the way through. It is overwhelming, but not n a good way, IMO. Maybe I just have ADD or something, but I much prefer the (relatively) short bursts of the Forest Of Evil 12" etc

Isolate "Liberation Through Hearing", it stands heads and shoulders above.

Has anyone heard Applehead de Applehead yet? Is it any good?

Yeah, Liberation Through Hearing is their peak thusfar, but for me in gains something swamped with the other stuff.

kinda my experience, i love these guys but find it best taken in shorter bursts. i have the first album on order... still working my way thru Tryptych. btw Ned's reviews of the three Tryptych fragments are up on AMG, all worth a read. yes, there are NIN comparisons- it wouldn't be a Ned Raggett review without a NIN reference, would it? ;)

Oh, it should be noted that Boomkat did a re-press re-package of the Triptych EPs, on vinyl, 400 copies.

yup, looks gorgeous. did you get one?

out o f stock already wth

I missed the boat. Already have my favourite (Liberation Through Hearing) though

I have two of those on vinyl and the three CD set, so... I somehow held back on buying the pack

i got the last two lps but the ocd record collector in me is dying for forest of evil

Demdike Invisible Jukebox in this month's Wire.

The Triptych vinyl didn't have the CD bonus material iirc? Big artwork must look great though.

just got an email from a distro about the 3LP ( :

What distro? Please! I'll order after you! :-)

weird forest

i got my other demdike stare lps from experimedia so i'd bet that they'll get a few copies in too

Thanking you!

That Anthony Manning 12" is the jammmmm, stoked to see them drop that into the mix
