So, in conclusion, we will have a new album by Bibio, Ochre and Christ.

You do know what this implies, right?

Got a nice Benbecula email today. Vinyl limited to 500 copies. Only £8.99 (same as CD I think) so seemed rude not to pre-order.

Joebot Kill · Post by **Joebot Kill** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 9:20 pm

yup, got mine!!!

haha how am i gonna afford this warp20 box when i keep buying stuff like this. i want the new bibio too. those should wait. july 5th is swiftly approaching...

but yeah, limited 2xlp is just so sweet. i wish they'd do that with the new ochre...

Nice references to Buckminster Fuller and Toynbee tiles in the track titles.

"Event Horizon They Waited" sounds familiar...excerpt from a sci-fi short story?

Ah crap, they are really luring me into collecting vinyl. I already spend too much on CDs than my economy allows, but I'm attracted to limited stuff so I don't know how much longer i can resist... argh!

I know. I'm finding it hard to get excited over the new Ochre, what with half of it already on Death of an Aura, and also only on CD. I'm sure I'll get it eventually though.

Here's the extras that came with my pre-order of the CD.

4 prints on thick paper.

Joebot Kill · Post by **Joebot Kill** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 2:52 pm

those prints are really nice! I pre-ordered the vinyl and they sent me the fucking CD, minus any bonuses. Can you believe it? but I sent them an email and they're sending me the LPs. But I'm still glad I got chance to listen to it. What a great album! Every song is incredible! I'm really liking Tonybee and Harbin Ice right now.

Still haven't received the album, but really look forward to it. Anyone in the States have theirs?

Ordered a few days ago - the live album took about three weeks to arrive.. I can't wait for this though really.. blue shift will have to do for now!
