KANONENFIEBER Soldatenschicksale (2026 UK/EU limited edition 9-track LP pressed on 180-gram Orange Vinyl. Soldatenschicksale “Fates of Soldiers” is the third studio album from the anonymous German blackened death metal project led by Bamberg-based musician Noise. Blending ferocious blackened death metal with a deeply atmospheric and narrative-driven approach, the album revisits reworked versions of the 2022 Yankee Division EP, alongside two brand-new compositions centred around Skagerrak. As with previous releases, the lyrical focus remains rooted in World War I, exploring personal perspectives rather than grand historical overviews. Deluxe gatefold picture sleeve with 8-page LP booklet, hype sticker & factory sealed)PEARL JAM MTV Unplugged (2021 UK/EU 7-track LP pressed on 180gram Vinyl, recorded during a live performance at the Kaufman Astoria in New York on 16th March 1992 for the legendary MTV Unplugged series, including versions of Jeremy, Alive, Even Flow & more. Housed in a deluxe gatefold picture sleeve, the sleeve & vinyl are Near Mint).TALK TALK Spirit Of Eden (Half-Speed Master Edition 2026 UK/EU 6-track LP pressed on 180-gram black vinyl. Often cited as a landmark recording, Spirit Of Eden represents a decisive break from Talk Talk’s earlier synth-pop identity, instead embracing a slower, more exploratory approach that would later be recognised as a foundation for post-rock. The album was assembled over nearly a year through improvised and experimental studio sessions, blending elements of jazz, ambient music, and rock into a highly distinctive and influential whole. Originally released in 1988, Spirit Of Eden has steadily grown in stature, frequently appearing on all-time great album lists and continuing to reward close, attentive listening. This edition marks the first-ever half-speed master of the album, cut at Metropolis Studios, following the acclaimed half-speed master of It’s My Life. The result is a pressing that prioritises clarity, dynamics, and the album’s famously spacious production. Presented in a picture sleeve with original cover artwork and an obi strip, factory sealed. One of Talk Talk’s most enduring works. Highly recommended).FOO FIGHTERS Skin And Bones (2015 UK 15-track double album 2-LP pressed on 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl. Showcasing a different perspective on Foo Fighters, Skin And Bones captures the band in a rare acoustic configuration, recorded live at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. Rather than a solitary performance from Dave Grohl, the set expands into an ensemble arrangement reminiscent of Nirvana’s Unplugged in New York. Familiar Foo Fighters songs are reworked with strings, additional percussion and layered instrumentation, featuring contributions from violinist Petra Haden, keyboardist Rami Jaffee and guitarist Pat Smear. Stripped of the band’s usual distortion and arena-scale dynamics, the performances lean into nuance and texture. “Walking After You” and “Friend Of A Friend” feel naturally suited to the setting, while “My Hero” and “Best Of You” reveal a more human, measured intensity. The closing “Everlong” trades volume for emotional weight, proving just as powerful in this intimate form. Skin And Bones offers a thoughtful reinterpretation of the band’s catalogue, balancing restraint with presence and highlighting the songwriting at its core. Single pocket picture sleeve, factory sealed).
