Perturbator “The Uncanny Valley – Bonus” EP [2016]

PRE-ORDER: early March, 2016.

RELEASE: May 6th, 2016.

ARTWORK: Ariel ZB

As an addendum to “The Uncanny Valley” main album, there will be a long-form epilogue that includes further ruminations on themes within the storyline. The bonus EP will be released alongside the main album and contains four brand new tracks and three alternate versions of Perturbator album tracks.

The first three songs complement the themes covered within “The Uncanny Valley,” and the final track - “VERS/US” - is a demo from “The Uncanny Valley” writing sessions that fits the mood and atmosphere of the album but didn't quite make it into the final cut.
The bonus EP runs approximately 40 minutes in length, bringing the total experience of “The Uncanny Valley” in its special edition form to almost two hours.

TRACK LIST:
1. Vile World
2. The Church
3. Consecration
4. Hard Wired [Instrumental]
5. Venger [Instrumental]
6. Future Club [Arcade Version]
7. VERS/US [Demo]

I thought the whole album was available, just stopped listening an album on spotify to listen to it when i saw there was only this preview, now i'm super disappointed. Gonna be a long wait now, but this is already so bought.

Is this a suitable thread to bring up Prefab Sprout?

My Airbnb host in London had the Two Wheels Good/Steve McQueen LP... Fell in love with it almost instantly. Incredible stuff. I definitely was not surprised to learn of its pedigree/veneration in the genre.

Similar recommendations?

Cheers, Gaf.

Steve McQueen is one of my favourite 80's albums, but feels pretty far from what's posted in here.

I'd say check out The Pale Fountains, Style Council and Aztec Camera (specifically High Land, Hard Rain).

Dangerous Days had some excellent songs, man. Minuit, Title Track, Hard Wired, Raw Power to name some. Minuit though, is one of my most played Perturbator tracks because of those mesmerizing vocals.

Yea, Dangerous Days is one of his best for sure.

Day one for The Uncanny Valley

This has to be the most hyped synthwave album ever. Announced a year in advance, with a fucktonne of special editions, vinyls and what not as release formats. Not to mention a graphic novel accompanying a release.

Wallets will definitely empty. More importantly, I hope it lives up.

Me too. I'm still not sure if I should preorder the vinyl. It's going to cost more and I don't have a record player right now.

Also, anyone knows how much is the s&h? I can't seem to be able to find it on the store.

on that vinyl/cd release :D Arnold also has a "Best of Arnold" vinyl collection, that however is mainly cover versions of the movie themes from his movies. It is the only vinyl release with Predator theme on it though... The Van Damme one has good original versions.

Bloodsport's soundtrack alone however is awesome (also on rare vinyl): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7QWBbtjqyg The original compositions i mean, like the second track, Kumite!

Yesss! 1 and 2 were amazing, as well as the outrun and future 80s bundles.

Don't think that's her. There's a similarity, yes, but I seem to recall that she's much thinner in real life. This looks like Connolly circa Rocketeer.

SW1, Outrun and Future 80s are still the gold standard for these bundles, so it's an instabuy.

Admittedly, jokes sometimes fly over my head.
