An overdue thanks to nothingface for the kind words of welcoming back from the,"Jack Luminous" thread
awhile back...I know this is kinda dated,but I wanted to echo the same buildup and anxious speculation felt by chaosmongers stateside who had pre-ordered this long awaited release before it came back out on 1.22.13...still waiting on the box set order...went ahead and got the regular version...I will put a "Target Earth" record review in that topic thread soon! Put on this masterwork and play this fucker up very loud!!!!

Here's me yesterday evening. After eating a plate full of my delicious green chile chicken enchiladas, I went to the local beer pouring establishment, had my fill, went home and played Target Earf with lyrics in hand for the first time in my slightly drunken state. I need a better stereo, like NOW.

You're welcome, neutronboy2000.

Luna, I've actually begun hi-fi headphone shopping since getting the new album. I had no idea how deep (and expensive) that forest was til I went walking. I'm looking forward to a seriously in-depth listen very soon.

Those "head-fi" people don't fuck around when it comes to 'cans'! Holy shit.

I like going both ways, sorta "audio bisexual" if you will. Jamming music really loud through a nice stereo or jamming through nice headphones. Although I admit I do not own high end quality of either outlet, what is so special about all these headphones you see on TV (Dr. Dre etc)?

While I was never considering the Beats by Dre headphones, I've learned that "head-fi" crowd thinks they are a joke, comparatively.

The side-by-side comparisons I've read between the high end headphones is likely beyond anything my stage-weathered ears could discern, but for starters

I'm going to check out the Grado SR225i tomorrow. There are over a dozen recommendations for listening to "prog" or "metal", so the journey begins.

Now the boxset is also out of stock at EuroDistro. Thank dog I already requested my copy.

Finally got my Red Vinyl and Boxset from CMdistro.de ! I really like the boxset, there's a bit of room to store some souvenirs from roadburn 2012.

as far as cans go, I like my AKG141 a lot, nice low end.

My cd boxset arrived from CMdistro.de the other day here in New Zealand.
Very impressed with the quality.

The band has done themselves proud with this release - it really feels like a complete effort from all involved.

Neutronboy: Come around more often, these are exciting times upon us right now!

On the topic of these "ear boobs", I've had a pair I got at Costco 5 yrs ago and they were adequate but I want to get a better pair perhaps geared towards dilligent studio listening and pros of the audio field. Only problem I cannot afford to shell out $300, but I realize these babies are not cheap.

Ditto! I'm glad I held out for the US site to get it. I was getting doubtful, but I know it will be worth the wait. Picked up the vinyl too. The only thing I need now are some TOUR DATES! (in North America, that is)

Dang Lee, that is slow! CM Shipping options seem kind of pricey too with the box set running $8 for standard shipping.

I noticed Iron Gang has the regular edition CD up for sale now too, but no vinyl or special editions, yet. Too bad they didn't (our couldn't) leverage IGF deals for the initial release as I know a lot of us would have gone there in an instant, even it if meant a slightly higher cost. And hey, it looks like IGF took down the Roadburn vinyl... wonder if it's offically sold out now?

Proof that I'm getting old: I didn't buy Target Earth on day one.

I wasn't going to buy the box, but after much hemming and hawing, I feel like I'll be kicking myself if I don't. Even if I wasn't gigantic, that belt is pretty, uh, 'delicate-looking' let's say. Postcards? Stickers? File under "useless garbage" that get folks all jacked up to pay too much.

That being said, I think $28 is not unreasonable for the cool-guy edition of the CD, plus the Roadburn CD, plus a handful of said useless garbage including a dainty belt that I'll be giving to my dog to chew on.

So ya hit checkout, and the "base fee" for processing is $2 plus $8 postage. $10 added on a $28 item, all I can do is remind myself that we're all getting ground down by our various governments, this is grin-and-bear-it stuff.

Cranky old fuck,
PAULIE

PS THE RESIDENTS on tour right now in the US, Europe in a few weeks! Go see em!

At this point, I realize I'm making every effort to NOT order anything from the NA CMDistro store. They are lane. I'll be ordering from the IGF or EuroDistro only.
