Glitchpulse Releases

Today we’re proud to release Icosagon.

This project marks 20 years of IDMForums. A community that began in 2006 as a space for producers to share experimental electronic music, ideas, and feedback, and has continued to evolve ever since.

Icosagon brings together artists from across that history…spanning the full spectrum of sounds that have lived on the forum over two decades.

Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see the option to order vinyl. Is that coming later?

The Vinyl is coming later, sorry I should have put a note in the main post. The intent was to have it ready for the public by now, but:

  1. I want the artists on the record to have a chance to get a copy first.
  2. Since this is made to order, they need to order it themselves.
  3. Since the store doesn’t utilize coupon codes, the only way for them to buy it at cost is for us to have it listed at cost price.
  4. Once all the artists that want a copy have purchased theirs then I will revert the price to normal and promote the link to the vinyl store.
  5. The service will have a Bandcamp integration at some point but that is not ready. So, buy the vinyl first, when it comes available and when I see the order come through, I’ll send you a Bandcamp code for the digital copy. (no need to buy twice). @White_Noise I will send you a Bandcamp code now anyway.

Wow. This definitely beats boards of Canada by a lot.

Great work everyone…our trading tips and techniques with each other over the years really shows, considering how we all have progressed and made each other better musically.

This is so awesome.
