I'm not positive. Almost reads like a Bleep exclusive with this end of the year best of list

Are the digitals some kind of Bleep exclusive? It's not showing up anywhere else. Previews sound really, really nice.

Glad this also released this year, although tbh I haven't really returned to Phocus all that much. VHS Head requires a very specific mood for me to be in and I haven't been in that mood all year.

Lush.

Title track is one I used to bump a ton from one of the AMKS sets, it's gorgeous.

From Skam's X:

VHS Head - Phasia EP - Ska036 Limited Edition Picture Disc Available now exclusively via Bleep https://bleep.com/release/424873-vhs-head-phasia…

All formats // All stores // 26th Januay

Ok! I guess it's coming out in other formats in January then? I don't want to miss owning the release but ordering from UK to Sweden can get stupidly expensive.

Does anyone know if bleep has IOSS under control? ie. declare customs stuff correctly?

Not sure how it is in Sweden but if you order more than 150 euro to Ireland you can be double taxed on it and you won't get it back thru IOSS

Wonder if this will get a non-picture disc version. I usually try to avoid those if I can.

Grab the picture disc for the lols but use the bundled flac for the nulls

Really really digging tracks 2 and 3! The "Phocus" track: I think I prefer his version he presented in the live Facebook video he did in April of 2020

What a treat. I love this more than Phocus. Mouth Matte is extremely dark lush. One of his best.

I guess I meant like a standard black vinyl release. I took that to just mean vinyl, CD, digital. But I'll wait and see.

I couldn’t wait. Bought the digitals on sale at bleep. VHS head never fails 

has somebody received it yet?

Yeah got mine about a week ago 

Great EP (got the digitalis)

sample identification spoiler:

Maybe I missed the memo earlier but this is streaming now at least on Apple Music. Lovely ep!!

The “Ruby!” sample (throughout the “Phocus” track) gets me every time. 

X-Files season 1 episode 4, “Conduit.” I had it one one of those dual episode VHS tapes, bundled with “Ice.” Wonder if Mr. Head used the same source.

For some reason her delivery at the end there has been echoing in my head since the 90s.

Great catch! If anyone is active on Letterboxd, I keep a list there with samples I've identified in his tracks. I have notes for each with timestamps too.
