My Latest Purchases Thread

£ is no harder for us to handle than $ or €. € is a bitch to send in the mail really because the smallest note is €5 and you don't really want to send coins. We'll be able to accept PayPal also.

My Nasheim longsleeve arrived today. Yay for me!

Swans - Various Failures

*This is a 2 disc compilation of Swans material from 1988 to 1992. I bought it for $13 on EBAY. HOWEVER, the guy that sold it didn't say anything about it being signed by Michael Gira himself!!! That probably ups the value considerably.

**This compilation is an excellent starting place for anybody curious about Swans. It isn't anything like their earlier stuff, and it is heavier than their mid 90's stuff. I'm just constantly stunned by these guys. Swans is easily one of the best bands the world has ever known. Few people ever achieve cult status for their music, but Michael Gira is definitely one of them.

***If fans of everything from Godflesh to Agalloch don't have something from this band, you should be hanged by your balls until they are swollen, swollen, swollen

****I especially think JayKeeley might appreciate these guys. This stuff is from the late 80's and early 90's, but it sounds like something totally new and unique.

Yeah I've been reading up about them for a while now, particularly on SSMT.

Ion Dissonance - Breathing is Irrelevant

Sadis Euphoria - Instinct/Obsession

Kalibas - Enthusiastic Corruption of the Common Good

 

[Black Winter Day]

THe End of Nothing is one of the better releases this year IMO. Great death/grind with a doomy setting. Stick with it.

Mine is still on the three-legged mule express from The End. The wait is killing me.

 

[J.]

The End apparently ran out of Falkenbach's new one. I'll wait I guess. I ordered 4 CDs from The End about 30 minutes ago. Lets see how long it takes.

Also, I'm really curious as to Erik's and BWD's opinions of Arcane Sun.

 

[Black Winter Day]

i listened to it for the first time last night and, i must say, i was impressed! i emailed jaykeeley about reviewing it sometime soon, so look out for it at RC in the near future! that's all i'm giving away at the moment!

 

[J.]

That's cruel... just be patient, it's worth the wait. I've had to wait a whole week as well.

Mistress - II: The Chronovisor

 

[JayKeeley]

In the Woods... "Three Times Seven on a Pilgrimage"

The closest you can get to smoking da herb without actually smoking it.

How are you liking the live album btw?

 

[Nate The Great]

Swans - White Light from the Mouth of Infinity
Swans - Love of Life

These are two of the hardest Swans albums to get for a reasonable price at all. I paid $45 for the two combined. That's actually reasonable. They are easily worth it though. I'm talking OUTSTANDING!
