Wisp - The Shimmering Hour

Is there a US vinyl release date?

Out on vinyl this week, picked it up today. Just a plain black sleeve, no artwork. The pressing seems to be decent quality though.

you'd think in this age of internet piracy that rephlex would actually put some effort into their packaging as an incentive to buy their releases.

Hmm that's kind of lame, though I'm not a fan of the artwork anyway (sorry to whoever did it here, just not my thing!). I trust the Katabatic EP tracks aren't included?

No, they're not included.

I listened to this last night, really guys? Its good but... 50 *pages!

*note: pages, when using default page size.

yeah the person rephlex uses to master their shit is pretty damn good, i noted when the Confederation Trough came out that whoever mastered those tracks VS how they sounded in that breezeblock set did a pretty damn good job.

yeah its amazing how a 12" sounds better than some crappy rip from the radio eh

i just did a line of K and listened to flat rock

wasn't there some live version of synthacon 9 and some of the others a fan direct board recording?

yeah, probably the only rephlexian mistake. my favorite label (southern lord, raster noton, touch) makes bloody good artwork, knowing iit makes a difference with mp3.

that track has yet to be released. part of a larger thing though, should surface eventually.

page 50 epic thread hi mom

Finally got the LP in the mail today, saddened by the lack of packaging goods that came with it, but I guess thats just the way Rephlex is. Right up there as one of my favorites this year.

What'd it set you back total?

love Cultus Klatawa 4 realz

soooo good.

okay, just gave it my first proper listen. this album is fantastic. i never thought i'd be able to enjoy "IDM" so much, ever again.

wisp, this is kickass! it reminded me of your live performance i saw at the elevate festival a few years ago - an absolute highlight! this album oozes with good energy!!!

And I did it last night. Yup, quite amazing. Since this thread reached 50 pages there's no doubt about everything already being said about its qualities, I'll just add the fresh evergy in this work that seems to combine positive elements from all kinds of genres since last decades, while still having its own character.

I might be in love here.

Oh yeah, is that a Tolkien-enspired lyrics to "The fire above"?

Amazing.

that close reverb acid part in keeper of the hills from about 2:30 onwards just killed clark

shimmering hour is SOOOO GOOD
