Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful.

The power house band from Finland recently had some of their albums reissued on spectacular splatter vinyl. This album was originally released in 2015.

The presentation is excellent with both LP’s house in a gatefold cover. The inner sleeves are glossy so the vinyl needs protecting with better sleeves.

The vinyls are a beautiful transparent with black and gold (or yellow) splatter.

If I didn’t know for 100 % sure that I am in imminent danger of being pounced upon with full claw action aimed at some delicate areas of my anatomy, I’d think this was cute.

It’s time to hit the Jungle before arriving at Paradise City. It’s and the album on some splattered vinyl. Does anyone here like Guns ‘N’ Roses? 🤔😂

I don’t usually buy best of albums but it’s Guns and it’s splatter vinyl! Nuff said!!!!

It’s the Queen of Doom, Chelsea Wolfe and her incredible ‘Abyss’.

This is a black and blue transparent splatter vinyl and looks as wonderful as the album itself. Its all housed in a matte effect gatefold sleeve.

The album is dark, it’s moody, it’s brooding, it’s haunting, it’ll challenge you to listen to every nuance, but it’s never bland or safe. Time to live on the edge!

Oceansize - Everyone into Position, a classic blast from the mid-noughties (2005 to be exact).

The album was originally released on black vinyl and there was also a reissue in 2011. The version in the photo is the 2022 reissue on a gloriously bright yellow splatter! You knew I was going to buy the splatter version, didn’t you!



Way back in 2023 (remember that? It rained a lot!) Ripple Music released Chapter 8 in the ‘Turned to Stone’ EP series showcasing 2 artists

Chapter 8-The Wake contains 3 tracks each by High Desert Queen & Blue Heron, on a fab splatter LP

I got this for High Desert Queen, and their Texas Desert-Dry Rock-new LP due May! 🤘

Blue Heron are a very different sound but the styles work well together on this EP

Texas Rocks!

Amplifier’s brilliant self-titled debut album was recorded in 2002-2003 and released in 2004. It didn’t appear on vinyl until 2016 and was reissued on colour swirl wax in 2022 along with an extra track. The new ‘encore’ piece is called Glory Electricity and is just as strong as the other tracks.

This album can be explosive, it can be mellow, but overall it is quite hypnotic and takes you on a fantastic journey - listen to the lyrics carefully, they’re subtle!

It’s one of my favourites! 🤘🤘

Those masters of psychedelic trance and ambient, Shpongle, reissued all there albums on limited edition colour vinyls. I decided to grab a copy of the first album, Are You Shpongled. And here it is, a striking blue and black swirl triple LP set!

Posting High Desert Queen and their superb Secrets of the Black Moon album, definitely a confection of Texas desert rock with some doom inspired riffs! Great album on a gorgeous vinyl 🙌🙌

I aspire to one day be intelligent enough to understand all the hard sci-fi and high fantasy I consume.

Thanks!

It’s Ableton Live Suite. Every instrument and effect in the track is native so far, except for one instance of the Waves RBass plugin to make the kick drum a bit ridiculous.

Try something different! Myrkur’s 2014 debut self titled EP on beautiful splatter vinyl!

Myrkur’s style of Nordic influenced atmospheric black metal sounds fabulous on LP.

If this style isn’t your thing then check out the amazing acoustic Mausoleum and 2020’s Nordic folk acoustic Folkesange!

For some baffling and now forgotten reason, we decided to make an EDM track for fun this arvo despite the fact that only 1 person here knows - or even likes - EDM, and she's not a musician so she's describing what she hears in her head while we try to make it happen in Ableton Live.

I'm told this is 'Trance' music because, I dunno, the BPM is over 120 or whatever. 🤷‍♂️

Just quietly, I'm a little pleased with how it's turning out 😬

My next vinyl post. Change of musical style! Anyone here like Freya Ridings? Here’s a couple of live albums - Omeara has two versions (lim edtn and general release). If you’ve heard these two albums, which is your favourite? Both are great IMHO but mine is St Pancras Old Church.

Riverside ID:Entity. A fabulous splatter vinyl which matches the incredible music. It comes with a signed poster and a lyric sheet.

Riverside are a modern progressive rock band from Poland. This album is a change from the dark theme of 2018’s Wasteland (😻). The album sounds sparkling, with shades of the earlier band era. But it’s also fresh sounding, looking to the future after difficult times.

Rejuvenated Riverside Spectacular!
