Additional information
After the unbroken assault of bleakness and noise that was the Telescopes' 2017 album As Light Return, main (and only) Telescope Stephen Lawrie must have needed a break from all the stress and angst. 2109's Exploding Head Syndrome dials the guitar skronk down to a simmer and the rhythms are set to hypnotic, as Lawrie mumbles in (mostly) soothing tones in the background. It's a real change of pace, and like almost everything else the band have done in the preceding 30 years, the album is sonically challenging and truly uneasy listening. The songs roll and tumble like a churning washing machine, with overloaded guitars humming, organs grinding, and maracas keeping time. There's not much variation from song to song and the mix is deliberately murky, which means that it's best to just let the music rumble past and not dig too deep or expect to be knocked out by any one song. It's a mood Lawrie is creating, not tracks for a play list or mixtape. Exploding Head Syndrome is meant to be taken as a whole and it definitely works well that way. It's easy to start the record playing, then wake up 38 minutes later feeling clean and calm. Quite a different experience than the last album -- which left one feeling like they had been beaten by industrial machinery for an hour -- but that's one of the things that is great about the Telescopes at this stage of their career. One is never quite sure what direction Lawrie is going to head; all that's a given is that it's always a direction worth following, and Exploding Head Syndrome holds true to that theory. ~ Tim Sendra

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
