Agreed, fully. The music is beautiful, and the colors and botanical drawings are super attractive.

Thanks Mr. Simmons!!

Yes please

shipping is criminal. not sure if these pop up on any other shops or not, maybe someone can lemme know.

Those are only available through the label bandcamp, and yeah shipping is high. A lot of their releases get distributed, some he chooses to keep extra limited. It's almost out of stock as of this post anyway

Their shipping is higher than any of my other bandcamp purchases, and the mailers are crepe thin But I'm still looking forward to Forced Hypnosis!

Wow. Only £50 for a new 5 trk 12"

That seems like a good deal

$85????

£50 for some lame colour variant? what’s up with this label. not that familiar with how they operate. anyway - music sure to be dope.

Worse than that Fundamental records garbage.

This vinyl only or will there be digis available?

There were 150 at ~$25-28... That label's started making 10-20 marble versions of some releases at a higher price (for collectors, I'm guessing.) And Rolando tweeted that he'll put out digitals for it eventually.

Yeah I'm pretty much done with FE unless it's a release I really want. I know how much shipping costs and how much mailers are -- and which mailers are good -- and the rates I set for Gated are as keen as I can make them. And yet he charges 18.99 for a 12-inch record and like 6 quid for UK shipping or whatever and ships them in those crappy mailers with no stiffeners. And people still buy the records! And the 50-quid marbled version still sells out? Crazy.

There will be no more ultra limited edition releases from me.

It was shocking and flattering to see the records sell so fast – but I want to make friends, not piss people off.
