A Crate Diggin' Weekend
Minamata, Prometheus, Elvis Presley, Xentrix, Hot Hot Heat, Doe Maar and Exhorder.
It's Friday again and therefore almost time for the weekend. Our favorite time of the week because we can spend all day in the recordstores! Here are some great new records you can find online and at your local record store. We'll start with two impressive soundtracks:
First, Minamata. This score is composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto - composer, electro-pop pioneer, buddy to David Bowie, and synthesizer legend. Sakamoto's music has consistently exuded a profound empathy and expresses in a few elegant gestures the haunting richness of life. Minamata is now available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on black & white marbled vinyl and contains an insert with liner notes.
Next, we switch 180 degrees in genre and present to you: Prometheus. This film is a 2012 science fiction horror film, which score was created by German composer Marc Streitenfeld. This soundtrack was recorded over one week with a 90-piece orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. Prometheus is now available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on flaming coloured vinyl and contains a 4-page booklet with movie stills and exclusive litho.
We'll continue with some more new vinyl:
Elvis Presley's Promised Land is now available as a limited edition of 2500 individually numbered copies on transparent and white marbled vinyl. This timeless classic features hits as “If You Talk In Your Sleep” and titletrack “Promised Land”.
English thrash metal outfit Xentrix is commonly referred to as one of the “big four” of English thrash metal, given their popularity in the underground metal scene of the 1980s to mid-1990s. The band released their second studio album For Whose Advantage? in 1990. Now, it's available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on translucent blue vinyl and includes an insert.
Canadian indie rockers Hot Hot Heat released their second studio album Elevator in 2005. It was the last album to feature fouding guitarist Dante DeCaro. To replicate the idea of an elevator, the band chose to list the songs in reverse order on the back cover of the album, with 1 at the bottom and 15 at the top, and not showing the 13th track. Elevator is now available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on translucent red vinyl.
Klaar was the - at that time - one-time comeback for Nederpop band Doe Maar, after which they split up in 1984. Despite the fact that they made several comebacks after, Klaar is the last album Doe Maar made featuring new music. The album is now available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent red vinyl.
Finally, Exhorder's Slaughter in the Vatican is now available on black vinyl.
We hope you all have a great weekend digging through the crates in your local record store!
