Just learned something interesting in history class that relates to both music and political correctness. The experimental musician, John Cage, was sponsored by the CIA during the cold war because the CIA wanted to promote US interests and values by spreading non-political US music throughout the world. So, by design, this is about as non-political as it gets and the most appropriate for politically sensitive audiences.

^^ And a good choice it was! I also bought just a few records this year. Baroness' Purple is still not unwrapped as I just got home and couldn't play vinyl at my parents. But I look very forward to that one.
By the way, great Avatar @beerhammer.

I was just jamming melody lane on the way in to work.

Thanks @Max Power ! Been an emp fan since i just a young one. Didnt pick up their boxset though. Really cant deal with that blood music guy. Plus all the holes he was making international customers jump through. Also the price was ludicrous.
Just put my order in for the neurosis box set though. Really excited for that.

To be honest I didn't follow Emperor since they split up (2001?). But Anthems and In the Nightside Eclipse were some favorite records of mine, 15-16 years ago.
