LOL @ "italian cardboard".

 

Still, I'm not or no longer on board with the hate for this label. If you don't like it and don't see any added value in what they do then keep your money. I bet a lot of us (ex-)complainers have spent significant amounts on releases that are only slightly less silly.

Really? It's still almost double the price it should be, even encased in deluxe italian cardboard made by trappist monks. I can't justify spending £40+ including postage for 1 album.

What's the added value in what they do?

Value is what a fool will pay for it.

I feel cheap and used.

Italian cardboard?!?!

Don't ask me, I'm not buying this. 

But we're also on a forum of which several members paid more than that for a "limited" TDR print with no Ae music at all.

Most people won't be able to justify paying the asking price, that's expected.

I did buy the initial Patronen A & B release from them a couple of years ago though, for whatever reason. In hindsight maybe I shouldn't have, but honestly, I can and probably will someday justify paying that for an album again, just not this album.

oooh! grand!

Fair play to them giving the tracks away for free tbf... Sounds really well mastered/mixed and some great tunes in there. 

RIP Microlith 

It's a very lush selection of tunes  RIP microlith

Thanks for the heads up. Great stuff, stupid decisions from this label aside.

RIP microlith :(

It's top stuff and after reading Alex's messages It's clear he has put a lot of love in mastering these, so fair play.  I was a bit skeptical about this, but it's a fitting tribute to a talent taken far too soon.  Grab this if you haven't WATMM

Yeah now that I can finally listen to this I gotta say it's really excellent. Track 8 is absolutely gorgeous.

Big thanks for sharing the digital files

Bump. Anybody who has not done so should get these digitals. Such an outstanding collection of tracks. RIP Rhys.

oh look, Microlith II is out, only 90 fucking canuckistani dollars after shipping. Goddamn I hate fundamental records. Yes lets gatekeep a dead guy's hundreds of hours of work behind some absurdly priced dead format. I'm sure rhys would be overjoyed to know that only maybe 100 people on the planet will hear these tracks. If I win the lottery i'm making it my mission to acquire and rip every single one of their releases to put on the web

fundamental records can eat my entire ass

It's a small consolation, but bleep's shipping isnt as bad as from Spain so it's slightly cheaper here.  Other shops will probably get some copies too.

A bunch of the tracks are on youtube too: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=microlith+ii

I know, I just want it in my media library in a reasonable quality  guess they figure the audience is so tiny that they're not losing much with the hyperexclusivity, though don't know why that prevents them from throwing a bone to those who don't have a huge disposable income... or a record player

Hopefully, they'll do this with Microlith II

Revisited Microlith I. Such a good collection of tracks. Love it. I've had to buy Microlith II. 

My Microlith II has been dispatched today :)

You know what you need to do.....

 

Great music, but the red pressing has a lot of noise.
