FREESCHA - Head Warlock Double Stare

I think Darla shipped them at the beginning of the month, because it's now available for order (not pre-order). My account was charged on 9/1, so maybe mine'll come Tuesday (stupid Labor Day).

??? .... did you get a promo copy?

nah, got my copy from darla.

well that's why i ask ... i ordered WCIOY and HWDS at the same time, i.e. last week, and they shipped WCIOY six days ago. in the package there was a note saying that they'd ship HWDS on the release date ... hence my confusion that you've gotten it just now, since i got a package from darla three days ago, with another freescha cd

got mine..great stuff as expected.

some of the tracks could be a bit longer though, i think.

Just got mine.

Here we go....

"It Wails pretty hard!"

lols.

i received mine in the mail two hours ago; i'm very very very impressed. better than STCM and WCIOY, and roughly as good as KFTF (which is like the pinnacle of melodic electronic music, for me)

Yeah, superb release. Probably my favourite of the year so far. There is still the new Christ album though. Either way, it will be a toss-up between them, (probably).

i just added it to discogs as well ... typing out 24 track names, not fun! lol

Updated their Wiki.

nick just sent me pequod in the mail out of his own grace, and for that i am deeply grateful. i had just mentioned to him online quite a while ago how i had been outbid on ebay for the vinyl at the last minute several times, and he ended up sending me a copy for absolutely free. just makes me feel warm inside the way nick and mike are so friendly and willing to go out of their way, even dig into their own pockets for a complete stranger.

so at the very least, i ordered the new release. not that i hadnt planned on purchasing it already. now i just need to extend that gratitude back to milieu as well, ive been meaning to put an end to the freeloading for quite some time now, and i assure you i will!!!

i just found the pequod ep on ebay after two years of looking (as 'buy it now,' thank god) ... i don't know how i missed that auction!

I must have listened to 'Candelabra' a dozen times today.

is this really better than wcioy? jesus. that's like my favorite album of all time. i actually ike it more than kftf. i cant wait until i get mine now.

it's very much in the vein of WCIOY ... like that album, but more so. and then less of like a 60s-70s-rollerdisco-porn sound; transform that into a mythical scifi horror film that takes place at an amusement park. or whatever

holy god damn pbn, you should be their publicist.

:omg:

So ... if you talk to people, they give you stuff?

Ask them for a copy of the soundtrack for that indie film in California they scored this year (or last).

Seriously, though: HWDS is very good, but Kids Fill The Floor is still their best. HWDS is incredibly consistent; no filler tracks at all.

I guess I'd like more of their older, cleaner, less fuzzy style; but any Freescha is good Freescha.

i've talked to helios and cvj and ulrich schnauss, i never got anything from them! lol ... oh well

i talked to nick just to compliment.. not looking for handouts, i just wanted him to know his musi wails.

oh that's why i emailed cvj and ulrich schnauss, as well ... but it wouldn't have hurt if they were like "so, you're a huge fan ... here's an uber-rare 12 inch!"

ooooh man, I can't wait to have my copy... should arrive really soon !!

the album is just INSANE!!!!!! :o best stuff I heard in a long while!!! its their best album and maybe album of the year with Clark and Helios.

no, im not saying that. i was talking to nick online, didnt ask a thing, and he mentioned that he probably had an extra pequod copy sitting around his place, and he'd be happy to send it off. granted it took him almost a year to finally send it, and it really just randomly showed up in the mail without warning. i would never contact a musician for the simple reason to romance them and get their music for free, but when it does happen, the more the merrier!

tis is awesome
