Just got it in the post yesterday. Listened to it twice last night. Fantastic stuff altogether. Subtitled 'Songs for 3 drummers, a turntable and 24-piece choir'. As good a description as any. The choir just takes them to a whole new level. Boredoms fans, check it out now.

Is this a new release? I'm looking for a copy of SR2. Even a burn would be good. Think it was an extra disc in one of the Japanese releases. Also, a copy of EyE singing Heartbreak Hotel. Only one copy recorded in a karoke bar in Osaka. He sold it there, with a tooth that he pulled out on the night.

Just out in Japan. I'm assuming Vice will be issuing it over here at some stage. SR2 isn't very good. It's on mp3stor.com for less than $1 if you want to download it.

BOREDOMS
Release
‘SUPER ROOTS 9’
on April 14th 2008 on Thrill Jockey

Thrill Jockey is honoured and absolutely ecstatic to announce that the legendary Boredoms have signed to Thrill Jockey for the world outside of Japan! Long regarded as musical pioneers, Boredoms have continually pushed sonic boundaries and inspired musicians for over 20 years. Their albums and their performances defy categorization, each one a completely unique event. The one commonality is that the members of the Boredoms have amazing technical skills as musicians, limitless imagination and the ability to combine the two - as no others have.

In April, the first NEW edition in eight years to the SUPER ROOTS series, Super Roots 9, finally gets a worldwide release. Super Roots 9 is a recording of a live show on Christmas Eve in 2004, in Japan. The performance features a 20-person choir alongside the group and is the FIRST live recording of the band ever released. The special custom-made Mini Gatefold LP Jacket will feature artwork by EYE and a 40-page perfect bound booklet with music scores and notations. This is the first in a series of records planned for release by the Boredoms in conjunction with Thrill Jockey. Singles, special limited editions, along with albums will all be packaged in special custom de-signs by the Boredoms. Our focus will be to deliver the records and the concepts be- hind the music in highly collectable formats of the band’s design. We will do so while also making the records available at a domestic price, and on formats, such as 320 bit-rate DRM-free downloads, not previously explored by the band.
