looking forward to the KWC 92, them previews sound cool.

the comp needs no words

also, anyone reckon theyll throw a big party for the comp release? i thought they were but maybe thats what rm2 takeover at fabwic is abowt

[Func]

They release too much stuff to be throwing release parties, I'd put it down to coincidence

Worthy of a thread, really good stuff.

[Shane Says]

thanks capt

[Shane Says]

they don't do much promotion either. they just keep pumping this shit out. amazing and detrimental to my bank account.

[dj_donga]

cant give their vinyl away at our shop. jus sayin

[Shane Says]

it isn't for everyone

[dj_donga]

really? seemed as if it was

[Shane Says]

i don't get what's the point your trying to make. I'm not trying to make an argument out of this but i pretty much said i love the speed and quality of the tracks they put out. you respond with i can't give the shit away (implying that i either have shit taste or different taste). and now this ^ ? what are you going on about?

having found time to respond i have edited this..

i didnt say i cannot give their 'shit' away - you've been using the word shit to describe their physical output. and obviously i'm aware you dont mean it's rubbish. but it's a loose term to use

and that comment implies nothing about you
it simply means that we cant seem to sell their records (when we can get our hands on them) for the shop
i keep reducing them in-store
and still no-one seems that bothered
i made this point because of the continued enthusiasm i see across social networks and the media
(especially here)
and was surprised that at shop level, here at least, it hasn't translated

i for one like a lot of imported US techno labels right now
but a lot of em seem to be overlooked

i really shouldn't have posted originally - too late now. didnt mean to challenge all you genuine fans. just a bit bored of the same names coming up all the time

[Func]

I guess it comes down to what people go to the store to buy. How much are you selling them for now?

[dj_donga]

what we have left is down to £8 / £9
they were quite expensive to buy in too

anyway - i've busted in and not been particularly helpful.
my bad

[Func]

I think the price is what puts most people off, I usually see them for about £10. At that price most people become quite selective, especially when there are records just as good available for £7

[Labfive]

That's what I've found as well from personal experience. It's hard buying records and being broke as fuck!

[Shane Says]

Sorry to get defensive as it was a rough morning for myself. I just truly didn't get what you were trying to say.

Moving on I buy them stateside for what equates to be less than 7 pounds from All-Day on discogs. So it ain't so bad for me. Sucks to hear it doesn't work out for you guys so much.

Back when it was announced in September, L.I.E.S. label head Ron Morelli's debut LP, Spit, was described as ranging from "house and industrial tape experiments to saturated, metallic beat tracks," and now, we can hear exactly what that means, as a full stream of the record has been made available ahead of its November 11 release date. Fitting for its release on Dominic Fenrow's industrial-informed Hospital Productions, Spit's eight tracks explore the depths of a gritty EBM aesthetic through tightly wound metronomic beats and tape-recorded of mechanics. Morelli's Spit LP can be streamed in full via Pitchfork Advance.

album is dissapointing to me.

maybe i just don't get it

[Shane Says]

[jheybs]

did anyone else think there werent nearly enough copies of the new voiski as there shoulda been? think i left it a couple of weeks to get it now its sold out

[Lamelotus]

Yeah there were fewer copies of it not sure why. I noticed it was listed as 1 per person on most store sites and most regular lies releases aren't listed as that...
