They stopped being interesting to me a while ago, but some of this seems it'd be nice to listen to.

so its the old albums repackaged all together?

oh

The music here is all recorded live to MiniDisc at various locations over the course of the course of the first three years or so of the band. The songs veer from the early percussion/feedback wailings to the Campfire Songs style acoustica to wall of sound forest children vocal chanting. The sonics are rough in places as these were recorded more for reference than for an actual release, but the power of the songs and the band's uncompromising intensity are apparent all the way through.

i don't know if i'm excited for this or not. i guess not then. was hoping it was a new ep but geologist already shot down those hopes in that recent interview

oh come on.. admit it, surely youre excited!

i admit to nothing

-not real fan

just minidisc recordings from live sets, a lot of it is unreleased songs.

only 1000 copies are being sold. AKA only true fans will pay for it, every one else will pirate it and listen on their ipods or what ever.

I could care less, that era of AC is pretty lame. I'm just not that into them in general though.

i'm excited, i like this early stuff

me too, especially spirit they're gone spirit they've vanished.

yeah spirit is my personal favorite!

why is this so limited?

this is actually really good. each side is like a miniature era of a.c. I wonder when they'll release a cd or digital download? it's good, but not worth what I paid for it on ebay.
