The album (as a full lenght preview on BEGN) is damn perfect the return to pure noisist sources of inspiration, more freedom in the composition evolving, (I save a peice for later)
It s exactly like this KG painting blue yellow (on chronicles vol.2, an abstract expressionist modern paintings) I can hear the sirens from the SYR come for me
This is almost subversive in a sense (anti orgasm in the top ten list immediatly)
Well I wait for my piece of wax (I planned to listen to Side C and D maybe later but I assure you there is some good sound to roll over the floor

I was trying to read that cover art signature. I was hoping it was John Lilly, of course he’s dead now, but it does look like the “center of the cyclone.” oh yeah……

No Mat Kim Gordon didn’t design the artwork this is another artist as I saw the paintings details signature, and yes I hopefully think we will be able to put our 45 rpm record straight into the car boombox

Sounds a lot more charged and varied than the last few that’s for sure! Let’s hear it for caffeine!

Is Kim Gordon design the cover artwork too because it looks like “Chronicles Vol2″ a book I shelved w/ Free Kitten recordings and a book which is a full lenght psychic adventure in itself, wait for the stereo version

Wow, that would be great and awesome I just hope it will at least left some LP in the second day of issue, fan will roll over on the floor one thousand times before it but I guess we will wait for the preview and roll over again. No that’s great super sweet super awesome just enormous ! 7th BYGN that’s the perfect eternal circle ! Christ !
Kool to Matador crew Sonic will have a 180g virgin vinyl pressed on a big piece of wax, eternal too, Christ !
Matador is God ?! No maybe not
But Sonic Youth is definetly the perfect band I have ever heard of my life since 7 years ! God !

How soon before the this Buy Early Get Now for this release will be available in the UK?
I’ll probably pre-order through a UK online retailer. Which ones will be participating? Will the bonus LP be vinyl or CD (I’d prefer CD)?
The preview sounds great!
Thanks,
Jason.

How does the Buy Early Get Now campaign work? Do I just go to your website on April 28 and preorder the album, or do I need to sign up earlier somehow? Please let me know how it works because I would like to order a copy of “The Eternal” from you as soon as possible!! Thanx!!
