Adam,
 

You have an idea as to when the Bleak Deluxe on Univers... Crucial Blast will be out? April is over. :(

Goddammit! Someone should make a thread and just say 'fuck you'

Never to adam.

Ya, I think "fuck me" would be more appropriate.

haha.

hayden, it comes out this week, apparently, it's been delayed a few times. it's going to be the first release on a new imprint exclusively releasing drone and noise and shit called CRUCIAL BLAZE. Thanks for the interest!!

Hi astonic.

hi

haha

Thanks, Adam. I'll be keeping an eye out for it. Crucial Blaze sounds awesome. I'm excited. I have the digital Bleak from the discography. It's fucking awesome. Is that what that link is?

I just don't have ANY hard copies of Robe. and I figure Bleak would be a good start. Plus, I'm a slut for 1" pins.

Thanks hayden, and sorry for the delay, it has nothing to do with crucial, I think it has to do with whoever is making the accessories...

Since we feel bad about people having to wait for this, we're giving everyone a brand new album for free that we recorded Sunday night. It's called forsaken:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/x202pi

self-released through tragic creature recordings, and features some prog rock leanings (!) and some jazz guitar and trumpets and trombones, buried under 100 tons of muck.

Honestly, we have been Robe.'d of our patience!

No? Okay.

I always get asked "what's the best place to start for Robe.?" So, I'll go ahead and say...

if you want the jazzier stuff (trombones), try Glacial... which sounds like Bohren Und Der Club of Gore before we had even heard them..
if you want the darker stuff, try Remains of a Burning World (my personal fav.) and Tragedies.
If you want the murkier stuff, try Time Dilation and Bleak.
If you want the most "song-based" stuff, try Did I Not Bid Thee To Arise? and Flesh.
If you want some more straight-forward ambient stuff (with occult influences), try Third Cinder which sounds like a Satanic mass, or Housing Deterioration, which is more in line with field recordings and shit.. the album is made of empty houses and mauseleoms being recorded.. microwaves, refrigerators, etc.. amplified layers and shit..
If you want the more heavily layered and "shoegazey", try Hadramaut and Dying Light.
If you want our weirdest stuff, I'd say Boneraiser, Fractal Dimension Apparitions, and this new one are all pretty fucking weird.

Whoo. THere. I think if you get those albums, you'll be in Robe. Heaven. Haha. Sorry for having so many releases, we kinda were just doing an album whenever a label asked us to, we're a bit more choosey nowadays though.

IT'S HERE!

Awesome. Thank you, Adam. I've been blasting the mp3s of this all week so I'm super pumped to have the vinyl.


In like 10 years, I'll sell it to a snob in mint and be fucking rich!

i have a copy of ac's purple bottle/polly 7'', which can go for up to $200, and the rabbit and grass 7'' which can go from upwards of 50.

thank fuck for the shitty taste in music i used to have!

I think I sold my Purple Bottle/Polly for like 7 dollars.

ha really? there is a guy on discog selling it for $200

ive seen the other 2 on ebay go for more than 50. think grass went for 80

Thanks for the support, Hayden!

You have a link or something to those? Especially Glacial sounds really interesting, since I love Bohren & Der Club of Gore and all that... I found a torrent with tons of your releases, but it's taking forever to download.

We used to have a webpage with .zip links to everything we've ever done. It's not around anymore. Do you have soulseek? Everything's on there. Don't forget the period!

If there any albums you really want, downloads or actual copies, contact deepshivmaximus@hotmail.com and he will probably be more than happy to mail you free copies, knowing him... I just kinda let him deal that side of the band, haha...

I don't get soulseek to work, sadly. Don't know what it is but it's not working. But I'll give the torrent some more time then. If it's not working I'll contact and ask him. Thanks. :)

I can upload it for you however, I don't even know where to fucking begin finding a ysi, rapidshare anymore. Tell me where to up it and it will be there, sir.

Really? That'd be very kind of you. I guess megaupload or mediafire would work fine.

wow thanks hayden. Yeah, I don't really, um, have some of that stuff anymore...

www.megaupload.com is good for everything.

Oh, a lot of our stuff is at http://www.last.fm/music/Robe. (note the period), including Glacial.

Coming right up. Super Low Frequency edition was TOO BIG so I just uploaded the original cut.

HAHAHA. SUPER LOW FREQUENCY EDITION. That was made as a joke.. I can't believe Kyle actually shared that to people. Haha... It's just the entire album pitched down like 6 octaves baha. It's pretty insane!

Yeah. I still haven't opened that one so I was going to do it because it was still zipped. It's also, like, twice the size as the original.

This free wi-fi is fucking AWFUL. It'll probably be another 25 minutes until it's up.

Glacial is a really really good place to start in my opinion. From there, Remains of a Burning World is fucking great as is Bleak. I patiently let that ridiculous discog download already too so, you know, if you can't find something.

Wow, Hayden, that's devotion. THanks man!

Thanks a lot, this is really cool of you!

Yeah, well, from the description Atsonic gave it certainly sounded like a great starting point. I'm looking forward to hearing it. :)

Just make sure that before you listen to it, you're properly medicated!

Enjoy

That I will. Once again, thanks a lot man! :)


Haha, always!

I guess Flesh is being remastered by the guy who always masters Peter Gabriel's stuff. Neat!
