Pre-Order Thread

Yesterday I replied to that REM cancellation email, and this morning someone wrote back saying I should have received an email offering the chance to switch to the black vinyl version. Never got that email, and why would anyone buy that version at full price plus shipping from fucking Concord anyway? What a shitshow.

it's nice but idk if I need this on wax. I'll sit this one out. Not the biggest fans of bands doing soundtracks because the music, IMO, is always lacking something that let's it stand by itself. It probably needs the visuals of the show for it to feel complete.


I don't know, that teaser track is the most diverse thing EITS has released to date. Acoustic guitars? I think this release is gonna be a really great. But I buy everything they release.

I might have to get this. I love this band and the colors of the records actually match the artwork very well.

Agreed, very pumped for this. Also, it's Explosions in the Sky, so the difference between a "proper" release and a full blown soundtrack isn't a lot, really.

And just judging by the physical release options here and the existence of a lead single, seems like they treated it as much more than a side project in between albums.

Exactly this. Explosion In The Sky and Mogwai are the two bands that create soundtracks that are on par with their regular album releases and it’s basically because their regular non-soundtrack releases are so cinematic to begin with they feel as they should be the soundtrack to something.

Am I crazy, or is my research telling me this material has been out in the world since February and we never even realized it?

I am going to see if I can stream it off the PBS app on Roku.

Also, from the description on Temporary Residence, it looks like the LPs are expanded versions of the music from the documentary. So it'll be less cues and music clips and full on songs. Basically a new album?
