VNV Nation, Resonance, 88kHz/24-bit version

Let's see: orders from CDJapan, Acoustic Sounds, jpc, two large lots on eBay and aardvark-allotment-of-amazement. Should be set for a while.

FYI there is a new Esoteric Jazz Set:

I forgot that Esoteric was doing SACDs --- 

 

oh they are $65 each... now I remember.

These are the first Jazz though.

And lol.

Anyone know where one can get a complete XRCD discography list, now that ED is the NA distributor? I remember when JVC maintained the site there was a nice list there... Perhaps Posty has one?

the JPY to USD rate makes everyday christmas at CDJapan

Speaking of which, I just got the Shiina Ringo MoRA DVD boxset from Kuboten (knew exactly who it was from as soon as I saw the box).

I asked ED and they said they don't have a discography. Lame.

re: dvd mora- is that a live compilation? I have some cd box set from a few years back that had four of her studio albums.

I wish they'd release something similar for Tokyo jihen

Nope, it's the same thing in 24/96.  And yes, I'd be all over the same thing for Tokyo Jihen.

 

EDIT:  Actually, this is a 6-disk set, this page says contents are as follows:

Innocence Moratorium + A View of Happiness (single ver.)

Winning Strip + Chastity at Midnight

Kalk Samen Chestnut Flower + Stem

Electric Discharge & Me (2-disc set)

A Song of Apples (one song)

 

EDIT #2:

Also, does yours make a cute noise and then she says something when you pull the stuff out of the box?

I'm ashamed to admit I pirated the mora cd box, which is why I'm looking to redeem myself with the hi-res version. The Yggdrasil has enabled me to look into hi-res stuff and it's all pretty interesting.

 

BTW I forgot, there WAS a box set for Tokyo Jihen:

Bit on the pricey side and only redbook.

Edited June 4, 201511 yr by nopants

There was still another one available (on Yahoo auctions Japan, I think) when I bought mine through Kuboten over a month ago at this point.  It wasn't very expensive at all.

 

EDIT:  Well that's just silly -- it comes with a USB drive, and they only put one song on it!

So I was meaning to ask, I saw a DVD mora box with a buy it now price of 4500 jpy (also its starting price), but kuboten doesn't seem to allow me to place a "buy it now". Do I have to do something special? I don't want to place a bid and perturb things.

 

The hard disk set seems like a good buy though, considering tokyo jihen is officially disbanded from what I can recall

I don't know, you should email them and ask, Craig is pretty responsive.

 

And:  yeah, I'll probably still get it, but USB stick is the perfect 24/96 lossless delivery device for large quantities of music, so it just seems silly to come so close, and miss.

On vinyl over at Popmarket.

The Band: Capitol Albums 1968-1977 [8 LP Box Set] over at PopMarket 

 

Does anyone know if/when jpc.de has sales, or coupons?

It's going to be hard to resist buying this... I don't even have a vinyl setup anymore... I'd get one going again just for this:

toe - Hear You

I am looking for a few OOP classical recordings on SACD (Mercury Living Presence, Vanguard Classics, MFSL, Telarc, Everest, etc.) and was wondering if anyone has go to places other than Amazon, EBay and ImportCD/DeepDiscounts they can recommend checking?

prestoclassical.co.uk seems a winner.

From HDTracks, a couple things, but especially:
Philip Glass, Glassworks (specially mixed for your personal cassette player -- does anyone know what this means?)
Alison Moyet, Alf and Hoodoo
Jeremy Bible, Music for Black Holes (4 hours of damnbient)
Steve Moore, The Mind's Eye soundtrack
The Isley Brothers, Between the Sheets

Found a great record store down the street from the girlfriend's place and picked up my first vinyl in a while.

MFSL Weezer
Nina Simone at Town Hall
A Bon Iver collection I had never seen before.

And a sticker, since Brent can't have one.
