I been meaning to get the single on vinyl. I have almost everything else they've done on vinyl. I have to say the vinyl cover art for Once More Round The Sun is my all time favorite artwork of any album ever. So f'n trippyYeah, that's one of the reasons I love them too. That whole album is basically about losing family to cancer and death, but their videos are really light-hearted and fun.
That's my favourite video too actually, and I have a picture disc vinyl of that single. The face of the picture disc is basically the thumbnail of that video, and it looks pretty fucking sweet.
Emperor Of Sand the first time I listened to it and I'll be honest here I was tearing up a bit. My own mother was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer a few years ago and the doctors didn't know at all if she'd survive and everything. The first doctor we saw told her to get her affairs in order because he basically said she was going to die. She ended up going to Sloan Kettering in NYC who ended up doing aggressive chemotherapy and other treatments, She lost all her hair, had to have surgery to remove her ovaries. Also had a good amount of post surgery complications and shit. So yeah EOS really hits home for me and its now 2017 and my mom is luckily in remission but knowing Cancer it could return and that shit scares me. Think I'm going to put the vinyl on right now and give it another listen.
