Lotus Eaters - Mind Control For Infants 2xLP






















Dammit. I really should try to update this thing more regularly, because I once again completely missed the ball on the vinyl release of one of my favorite albums ever. Now, no worries, because given the pricetag I don't expect these records to sell out soon, although the most limited version on white & silver marble vinyl limited to 100 copies is already gone. What the hell am I talking about? Well, the "Mind Control for Infants" 2xLP by Lotus Eaters, one of my favourite supergroups featuring Aaron Turner, James Plotkin and Stephen O’Malley. The "Mind Control For Infants" album is one of the most laid-back doom/drone records out there, and has served as my personal soundtrack during many nights of insomnia, so I'm thrilled that Taiga got the rights to press this onto vinyl.

This 2xLP is limited to 100 white & silver marble (gone), 300 gold and 600 black copies, is fully remastered, pressed onto 200g vinyl and comes is “An old-style Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket wrapped in foil-stamped brown linen with an 8×8 inch offset print mounted on the front cover." My bad if any of you missed the white & silver version - including myself, so let's just get the gold version which also looks killer from Taiga

Troum - Eald-Ge-Streon 2xLP

Troum are an ambient-drone duo from Germany, who were active before in the influental ambient industrial group Maƫror Tri. You know the deal, drones, feedback, the odd melody thrown in, pretty great stuff!
This 2xLP edition packaged in a full color book bound gatefold sleeve with design, layout and artwork by Stephen O'Malley. All copies from the label directly will be on colored vinyl and limited to 400 copies. Available November 18, but already up for pre-order.

Here's what the label has to say: "Welcome to the Thunderdome. Troum’s bone-cracking reverberations respirate with such ferocity that all non-Troum molecules are blown away. Eald-Ge-Streon is a massive, rising beauty. It is a great becoming, and we are nothing but an ant in the afterbirth. Troum has set its controls beyond the heart of the Sunn. The pulsating inferno of these 7 drone concertos may require an insurance adjuster, but what a lovely way to burn. It is in your nature to do one thing correctly. Before Troum, you rightly tremble. But fear is not what you owe Troum. You owe Troum awe!"
