    ^ This world of climate change, mass species loss, resurgent neo-fascism and bands still trying to sound like Yes did in 1974 is enough to make an angry progbastard out of anyone.

    But I think Yes anno '74 gets a bit too "avant" for the philistine non-elitist laymen, hee-hee.

    Angherr Shisspa is now available to pre-order on LP and CD. 3 live bonus tracks. Looks like it's out September 20.

    Ordered the Ultimate Edition.

    IS this one redone like the Nivraym re-release was, or is it just the bonus tracks that are different?
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    It hasn't been worked over like Nivraym was (Yoshida, the band and I were all happy with the original master). But because the album is on the long-ish side, we sent it to Carl Saff to do the lacquer mastering for the vinyl version - and the CD will have the three live bonus tracks.

    Are the live tracks included in the download when you buy the vinyl edition?

    Hi Mister Triscuits -
    There won't be download codes included inside the LPs, but if it is ordered directly from our Bandcamp shop, it will come with a download.

    Here is a link to the Bandcamp shop:

    I want a Koenji shirt. I can’t figure out the things to click. I will do so later when I am not at a bar drinking silly $20 cocktails.

    It's not in my top 2 Koenji but still think it's great.

    I love it, would probably rate it just slightly behind their first album which is still my favorite.

    My favorite Koenji. I love the slightly more accessible bits. They make the usual onslaught a bit easier to digest.

    I dig it but it's not something I spin often or feel the urge to. I'd rather just hear Magma for the 988775 billionth time

    Koenji requires a very specific mindset for me because they are over the top nearly all the time. I only own Angherr Shisspa, which I like a lot. I've been meaning to check the latest one out for a while, maybe it is time to do it.
