Vinyl Me Please Essentials

I just played the first 10 minutes of De-Loused for my wife and she didn't hate it like I thought she would, so it may not even be relegated to the home alone or she's in bed shelf like my Sun Ra collection. This gets more exciting for me by the moment!

That said, I fully dig why the folks that aren't stoked aren't stoked.

That's always been the case though. Tbh, I think VMP has been doing better with their Essential records actually being essential of late, but they are also the company that picked Sorcerer as their Essential Miles Davis record, the last, middling Sleater-Kinney album that broke up the band as essential, and don't get me started on the Tennis and ole' Dead Eyes (aka Kevin Morby) picks.

Yeah, I mean their pick of Essential albums has always been a bit off...but this kicked off a debate as this is the first person I've known that ever held "100th Window" in such high regard.

I think Essential is subjective. Although I don't consider the album to be one you need to own on vinyl, I think 100th Window is an album that's grossly overlooked 🤷‍♂️

Agreed, although it's Massive Attack's 4th best album, it's still really solid.

Don't pile on here (perhaps hot take incoming), but I'd far rather have 100th Window than Darkside, if we're talking about "electronic" music.

Yeah I think honestly at this point the only question is, are we gonna see any Volta exclusives to go with it. Since Cloud Hill hasn't done any, and don't appear like they're going to. We could see Frances or the others as limited releases. They're going to be crazy expensive to match Cloud Hill if so, but I wouldn't be surprised.

A poster on Instagram who nailed most of the details on the Cloud Hill releases before they were announced, had said that there were both color and black vinyl presses coming for the individual albums. So these could be the color, or it could just be the one.

On Twitter, Storf said no exclusives on announcement day but there's an "extremely good chance" for them later in the year.
