Since most ninjas are more interested in Soundtracks/Scores I thought a Discussion Thread for the latest and upcoming releases of regular records would make sense!

Share your pre-orders you're excited about, re-issues you're looking for or share special editions we should know about!

Contraband - Original Motion Picture Score LP.
Original Score by Fabio Frizzi. Artwork by Graham Humphreys Layout by Jay Shaw. Pressed on 180 Gram Brown vinyl with three different red splatters (Limited to 500 Copies). $25

Fabio Frizzi’s score to the 1980 Lucio Fulci thriller Contraband is surely one on the Maestro’s funkiest excursions record for Lucio Fulco. The main theme is a wonderful melody that is reprised throughout the score with a suitable touch of melodrama. Frizzi’s talent for catchy tunes is always apparent, whether it includes the stereotypical wah-wah pedal effects or some grooving slap bass.
Kept modern by mixing traditional orchestral elements with electric guitar and a wailing sax, there’s always a degree of underlying tension, mainly coming from the brass section, and there’s some amazing moments featuring a big organ and a sleazy keyboard riff. This is even before the uber-catchy ‘You Are Not The Same’, one of Frizzi’s many contributions to the songs of moviedom. Another excellent Frizzi/Fulci-fest!

Pentagram Home Video – The Satanic Path LP.
Artwork & Layout by We Buy Your Kids. Pressed on 180 Gram Purple Vinyl with Black color-in-color with download card. Limited to 666 copies. $22

Pentagram Home Video returns with their sophomore record for Death Waltz Originals. Continuing the (satanic) path carved out on their debut LP Who's Out There?, broody analog electronics weave in between a thumping kick drum and snares that can snap a back at 50 paces. What Pentagram does with the '80s infused synth template is give it space to breathe. The music is as much about what's happening in between the bass stabs as the actual melodies themselves, which gives it an other-worldly feel. The only project you could even mildly compare it to is Pye Corner Audio. In a world full of retro synth merchants, PHV stands out because there is no hint of cheesy '80s revisionism here. The music is dark, foreboding and very eerie indeed.

This is beyond amazing :wow::wow::wow:

Less than a year after opening a record store in Detroit, Jack White’s Third Man will this Saturday open a 10,000-square foot vinyl pressing plant within the same complex.
One of the new factory’s unique features is a viewing window that allows customers to see the pressing process in action. “It’s a natural continuation of what we built with the store front here and the live venue,” White continued. Operating eight of the first newly built presses built in 35 years, plus four extruders, and four hydraulic generators - all brand new

How cool is that!

This is unbelievable. Normally all companies use nowadays pressing plants that are already used back in the 70s when Vinyl was popular. There are a very few pressing plants on this planet. For example, in Germany are only three! And there's no company that produce new pressing plants. That's the problem. With the boom of Vinyl atm all pressing plants got years full of schedules. And Third Man just build their own :LOL::wow:

I don't listen to a lot of his stuff but I really appreciate him as a true artist. He's a great singer, songwriter and can play instruments. That's rare nowadays when you look at the charts and the people who are in there.
I just watched an interview with him on the Breakfast Club. He seems like a good dude who not changed after the fame.

For sure man... he comes across as a really down to earth guy and deserves all the success he receives. His music certainly isn't crap and I can understand why it is so popular, but it's just not for me is all. :)
