I mean the chances of either of those increasing in value from that price is effectively zero so you can only assume that someone was actually that desperate to own those CDRs

"Kinda weird when you WANT to give your money to a band / label, and they sorta make it impossible."
this is what makes me avoid getting too into cool metal/hardcore. I have some broke ass friends in thrall to labels who do this.

Listening for the third time. Why does this record have to rule so hard? I was hoping I'd draw the conclusion that it was one-note and sorta not worth keeping on the want list in light of the collector scum bullshit, but dammit, "Ritual Knife" came on and I was all "fuck."

Exactly. The people purchasing these things are the real problem, imho, because it only encourages labels (and bands) to pull this shit again in the future.

What do you mean by "charity"? Why is it wrong for me to want to legitimately pay for an album that I really enjoy and play the hell out of? Even if these guys do tour to my area, having a newborn at home means I won't be going to the show anytime soon, so this is a good way to throw some support at them. Yes, I've acquired the album for now, but I'd love to pay for a "real" physical version.

it's obviously not 'wrong' but they clearly don't give a shit whether you have a reasonable chance to buy one of their albums or not, so I'd just be inclined to say fuck 'em and burn off a CDR

Yeah I've seen a bunch of complaints about it. Apparently no sleeve either, just a piece of card. As someone above said, sounds like their might be a 3rd CD(r?) pressing, which is good news for those that spent a 3 figure sum on eBay for one of the previous 2.

The Deadbeats are based in New Paltz, NY, and have been one of the hardest working bands in the NorthEastsince their inception in 1993. Their Grateful Dead/Phish inspired shows are a celebration of improvisational,jamming rock & roll and they can be found on the road, performing consistently 5-6 nights a week up and downthe East Coast. As a result, they have amassed a large - and loyal following of fans who appreciate the openended, participatory nature of their performances. Working without a net, their set lists, arrangements, andjams are all left open to the inspiration of the particular moment, drawing in the crowd as active participants inthe creative process rather than just spectators. It is a unique experience and it has been this commitment tothese musical and philosophical ideals that has set The Deadbeats apart. And now with the release of theirfirst cd of original material, The Deadbeats continue to develope their own style and identity. Their songs havebeen reviewed as some of the strongest to emerge from the ãjam bandä community and have received radioairplay all over the country, as well as on the web. Along with a virtually inexhaustible repertoire of covertunes, The Deadbeats are actually able to please most of the people most of the time. Their mailing list nownumbers close to 10,000 fans and a very close relationship is maintained with mailings, a hotline #, and webpage, all of which can be accessed as follows: -

In my review I said it's most similar to Vol 1, which I like better than Mind Control for sure. They really need to reissue that.
― Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 10 September 2015 02:45 (eight years ago) link
i cooled a lot on this band after hearing mind control. such a shame. a very tepid album. blood lust is their best by far, but not heard this new one yet.
― canoon fooder (dog latin), Thursday, 10 September 2015 14:22 (eight years ago) link
I like Mind Control more than Blood Lust or this new one. I kind of want to hear them turn into a doom metal ELO.
― We Boo... The Cross (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 10 September 2015 18:47 (eight years ago) link
like dog latin I too have cooled a lot re this band, so have held off buying the new one.I will try bloody lust/mind control again over the weekend to see if I feel the need again.the problem is, that my sonic needs are very different at the moment.that said, maybe I should just buy this for when the mood changes
question : does anyone else buy stuff that they know they wont totally appreciate at the time of release, but realise at some point they probably will, or, is that just me ?

the loveable cosmic sloppy f*cker is correct.
that said, I am in a KOMPAKT/On-U mood at the moment and have been for a few weeks, hence why ghost/uncle acid are not hitting the playlist.
that said, after some pressure from the loveable sloppy cosmic f*cker, I have hit the 'buy now' button and so have no option now but to succumb ..

Yay, Vol 1 finally reissued! Still lo-fi, but the remaster sounds just fine to my ears, no worse than Blood Lust!
So, what were the equivalent picks of subsequent years in the spirit of this thread? Perhaps:
2012Goat - World Music: A mix of Afrobeat, psych and Kosmische/space rock via Sweden that sounded fresh at the time and had people transfixed with their masked mysteriousness.Troubled Horse - Step Inside: Not a popular pick, but nearly everyone I turned on to this loved it. Another Swedish band with members crossing over from Witchcraft/Graveyard, but with a little country twang in there too.
2013Savages - Silence Yourself: Does this UK post-punk band count? I dunno, but it jumps out as the new thing that people dug. I haven't listened to it in a while but the songs held up live.Hidden Masters – Of This & Other Worlds: I am obsessed with this band beyond reason. Not everyone seems to get it, but man, if XTC's Dukes of Stratosphear project were as nimble as Cream plus some on-the-dime time changes worthy of King Crimson? Worship worthy, but unfortunately they broke up soon after.
2014Pallbearer – Foundations Of Burden: I can't really think of one that was as widely liked as the previous years, but people not normally into doom seemed to get into Pallbearer.Truckfighters – Universe: Swedish road warriors are known to cross the North American continent as much as twice a year when many European bands have never set foot here. It's starting to pay off as their shows gradually get more and more fans coming via word of mouth, and their solid recordings documenting their fuzzy evolution.
2015Elder – Lore: Seemed to win over a lot of new fans to the doom side. Technically their mix of heavy stoner psych and prog has very little elements of doom left, but people seem to like that term. And sludge, neither of which fit Elder, but babysteps.Magic Circle – Journey Blind: I thought this would have been huge but it was kind of ignored. Glorious, beautiful rock 'n' doom. A perfect album. I was at Three Floyds brewery last year and was excited to hear them play the entire first album in the restaurant. I don't think anyone other than the staff knew what it was, but I saw some head noddin'.
2016Khemmis – Hunted: Got the attention I thought labelmates Magic Circle should have gotten. A great progression from their debut just a year before, they deserve the attention.Syd Arthur – Apricity: While their second album, Sound Mirror (2014) drew some attention, I thought this album, which was even more accessible, a gorgeously produced mix of Canterbury prog and psych with some beautiful tunes, would be much bigger.
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 18 October 2017 05:50 (six years ago) link
2011Graveyard - Hisingen Blues: I didn't see a ton of hype online, but their shows were always at capacity, so word of mouth was working.
2010Tame Impala - Innerspeaker. Even more impressive than Ghost's and Uncle Acid's cult ascension was Tame Impala. I don't think there was any big business push, it was pretty organic -- I saw them go from a 400 capacity club that year to headlining huge festivals the next.
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 18 October 2017 06:09 (six years ago) link
It would be really awful if you were able to put together a playlist of some of this stuff :) It was my bread and butter for a while there (Trouble, Obsessed, St. Vitus) but sort of fallen away from - would love a primer, if such a thing were possible.

Best of '10shttps://open.spotify.com/user/1212496385/playlist/2dW3Y0UWLWc6PXuzPtx5Hc
Other options for bubbling under cult fave rock/metal release from 2013: SubRosa, Avatarium, Fuzz, Windhand, Anciients, Blood Ceremony, Purson, Chris Forsyth, Jex Thoth, Goatess. I also very much liked Spirits of the Dead and Wolf People, but their type of nocturnal psych prog doesn't seem to have wide appeal.
