Making those requests in a thread started by one of the album's producers. Shameless.

Loving this record. Honestly, the day I first heard MCPB was literally the same day my friend played me Liquid Swords for the first time. This was back in 1998 when I was 12 years old, so I must admit bias when I talk about this guy because dudes work has been with me most of my (semi) adult life.

Regardless, this record is awesome...much darker than I expected, but the beats are definitely on some other other shit, especially The Moon, Props, Allah, and Lidgeon. Truly a showcase of talent from everyone involved in it's creation.

chopped herring records is taking preorders for a limited vinyl ep of tracks from the new album.

only 250 copies made and never to be released again on vinyl, so it's pricey like all these one-off limited joints. cd version is on it's way.

Major props to Chopped Herring for the great shit they've put out over the years. I've got to pick this one up in digital format as I lack a turntable at the moment.

Speaking of Chopped Herring, beg/borrow/steal to get a copy of 'Three Sinister Syllables'!

CD is still coming... we ran into some issues but it should be available in the next couple of months.
