Well, CD. (Don't wanna confuse the vinyl fetishists.)

I'm sure you wont regret it.

I have only listened to this while sitting on a chair in a room, and that doesn't seem right. It sounded pretty great, and I liked the album, but that's far from my preferred listening environment. I need to download it so I can listen to it while walking in the snow. Today might be a good day for that!

Just wanted to mention that I picked this sprawling release up and spent some time with it. It was a perfect release to get into after digesting the My Bloody Valentine release, oddly enough.

That's a great clip. Love this album, ordered the 2LP two days ago.

I bought this a week or so ago inspired in no small part by this thread, pfunkboy (I was intrigued by the review in the Wire, and this thread just consolidated my desire top check it out). I forgot to convey my thanks -- it's a fucking great album.

Glad you like it! It was top 10 in ILM Metal Poll.

I have been listening to this a bit recently and am in love with I,IV and VII and keep skipping inbetween. VII is insane it is like Link Wray jamming with Neu, it really is some wonderful shit.

Yes -- that was an additional encouragement. Listening to it right now on headphones.

five months pass...

Baltimore indie label Public Guilt is closing up shop and selling off inventory.

Among the many things you can get for bare-bones prices is the debut Aluk Todolo CD Descension for only $2.

Oh, so I did start a thread on them after all. Dunno why I didn't revive it when Voix came out?

Such a great record and easily one of my faves this year.
