Got one. Phew. Expensive but worth it. My invoice number was 106, so if that's any indicator, these will be gone VERY soon.

yikes, you cut that a little close.. something tells me Attacknine would have set one aside for you either way, though.

Naw, I'm out of town at the moment. Fair is fair!

has anyone heard this? loveliness in the textural domain?

ordered my deluxe edition the other night

digital download links have been sent out, 15 minutes left til i can listen to it!!

yup. my number was eighty-something and i was sitting on gmail when the mail arrived - went straight to purchase.

they must have sold out by now?

Just ordered. I'm #138.

#136 right here...

i ordered a freescha album a few hours before the cvj preorder and my invoice was #50, so I'm guessing they didn't start at zero. i got my preorder pretty much the second it launched and it was #60. just got the download but i'm going to wait until Friday to hear it for the first time on vinyl

just finishing up first listen to the standard issue album, not listened to deluxe tracks yet

"Miano : A Pink Night for the Snowmen" is quite wonderful, good golly gosh

whole album very guitar based, sounds we are familiar with and love

Upon initial listens I can comfortably report that this is a welcomed return to form for him (i.e. the first self-titled album). Been hoping he'd go back to that bedroomy lo-fi ambient stuff and when you hit a track like Sun Bee, and you realize you've been nodding your head to a loop with no defined beat, you're there.

Happy as a pig in shit to have this coming to my mailbox on colored vinyl soon. Woe to those who missed out!

The big box came today, and all I can say is YES.

The shirt fits perfectly, vinyl looks beautiful and the poster is pretty rad as well.

Also, I can now confirm all the differences between versions/formats:

CD version has 20 tracks.

2xLP has the 20 album tracks from the CD plus four exclusive ones ONLY on the vinyl.

The MP3 version that was sent out with the purchase of the deluxe edition has 5 tracks that don't appear elsewhere.

The iTunes version has ONE track that doesn't appear elsewhere.

So altogether there's 10 tracks of non-CD version material, for those of you who are collecting all this stuff.

this shirt is way too big for me.

Give it here!

it has been a week and i have not opened my box yet@!@!@

:) and the music?

i think its quite nice.

the music, incredible.

Who cares about music when you can accessorize!

finally sat down to listen to this for the first time on vinyl late friday night. certainly made for an amazing night, well worth the wait. very reminiscent of self titled, but wonderfully different.

i also really love the beat drenched EP that he tacked on with the deluxe edition. i was so surprised to hear the break drop in Bravo Cadets. Why We Lie and Refrain From Nervosa couldn't have been a more satisfying addition to the package. three cheers for attacknine and casino versus japan!

they'll both serve different purposes for me.. i'll probably listen to the deluxe pack as solo tracks and reserve the album to be played straight through. i've been straight up bingeing on the deluxe pack the past few days. it's like heroin.

'Lesser' is definitely worth picking up on itunes. seems pretty unnecessary that they did that though.. i was hoping to never purchase a track from itunes.

wasn't aware of the exclusive, checkin' it out now

gotta agree with you though definitely more like an ether binge. should hold me over till boc decides to release something..hopefully soon

This is lush. Sounding more similar to Biosphere in places
