I've posted quite a bit of music in the last few days, and had planned on waiting for a while until I shared something else. But it's my birthday so I'll do whatever I want!
The Lapis Sanctuary was pretty much my favorite band. The 7" they released with The DuPage Collective was probably one of the best records to ever be released during the Hayday of DuPage Hardcore.

I'm not sure how many colors were pressed, but I know that there were clear green ones. Because that's what I have.

The insert is probably my favorite part. I love the selection of art and the layout with the lyrics and text.

The quality of the recording is really unparalleled. I did my best to make the cleanest digital copy that I could, but let's be honest. Nothing will ever sound as good as a record played on a turntable through a good set of speakers. But I think these recordings turned out well. The stereo mix is incredible. Such a good album.
I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do.

Happy B-day, Emily.
ReplyDeleteHEY! Thank you! How are you?
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday! Hope your special day was a peach :)
ReplyDeleteI'm fine, thanks. Your site is looking good, btw. I've got it in a feed...just in case you knit up some aliens or chickens or something.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Lapis Sanctuary, the packaging on that 7" is exquisite.
If you ever have a creature that you'd like in knit form just let me know. I'm more inclined to make something if I have motivation to make it for someone.
ReplyDeleteI meant to post before, but thanks! And how appropriate that you hope it was a peach, as my cousin made me stuffed peaches for dessert on my birthday. It was divine. I need to harass her for the recipe.
