the second record of the sumerian order which is actually the one i was after the most. it is one of those records where the imagery promised great deeds. over the year a few of them cross my path and only through some hearsay and nice cover art i know, this is going to be great. that was what happened with "planetary duality" and me. so without much thinking i ordered this gem from the states. the dude over at killer merch, which hosts the sumerian store, was very compliant and helped me out with the customer's declaration. thanks again!
as i already stated in the "akeldama" post, the records arrived here in best condition. after the first listen i wasn't sold immediately, i have to admit. i thought that "akeldama", which clicked with me right away, was catchier but after a few more spins "planetary duality" sunk its claws in deep. a great album without any weakness. i love that the faceless didn't try to stretch out the length of the record. with thirty minutes it's pretty short but i don't miss a thing. a complete work as long as i am concerned.
another lovely presentation by sumerian records. as i am not that much a fan of printed dust sleeves i really appreciate the insert with lyrics and credits. simple sleeve with awesome apocalyptic artwork by pär olofsson and now to the secret star of the package - the super sharp vinyl colour-way. i still drool over the looks of it every time i pull it out of the sleeve. the mix between blue and baby pink is an absolute winner! got to keep my eyes peeled for a re-press of "autotheism". 699 copies made on "galactic burst" vinyl. don't be fooled by discogs sellers trying to sell these for insane prices. both records still available. sumerian records. 2008/2016.
