MINUS THE BEAR - PLANET OF ICE
LIMITED 2XLP ICE COLORED VINYL, Only 1000 Pressed!!
Gatefold Jacket with Download
NEW!!!
Following the success of Highly Refined Pirates' forward-thinking guitar gymnastics and Menos El Oso's groundbreaking glitch rock, Seattle's premier pop revisionists Minus The Bear dug into some of rock music's most ostentatious years for inspiration for their 2007 album, Planet of Ice. The title alone conjures images of Yes's Relayer album art, and the influence of the elder statesmen's symphonic scope can be felt throughout Planet of Ice's lush and intricate arrangements. You can also hear the band channel the ominous instrumental interplay of Lamb-era Genesis on "Dr. L'Ling", the deceptively savvy musicianship and pristine production of Steely Dan on "White Mystery", and the tightrope walk between ethereal space and pre-metal riffage of Pink Floyd's "Echoes" on "Lotus". Not that Minus The Bear completely abandoned their earlier style elements of Menos El Oso's sample-driven technique can be heard on the lead single "Knights". But the heart of the song ultimately belongs to the haunting Fripp-esque guitar lines spliced between verses. After being out of print on record since 2010, Suicide Squeeze is proud to reintroduce Planet of Ice's creative marriage of classic motifs and modern musical wizardry with a vinyl remaster courtesy of Bernie Grundman. Track listingsMedia 11. BURYING LURK2. ICE MONSTER3. KNIGHTS4. WHITE MYSTERY5. DR.

There are many options when it comes to shopping for vinyl records, and we want everyone to know why you 

should shop with us. 

PACKAGING

We try our best to secure each record that leaves our hands, to arrive in the same condition to its new owner. Each record is 

wrapped tightly in A-fluted corrugated cardboard paper, which not only is more environmentally sound than bubble wrap, 

but offers more padding and protection for your records. It helps the vinyl fit more snug in the mailer, allowing NO ROOM 

for any shifting. Which in turn, helps prevent seam splits, bends and pushes. We reuse every box that comes through our

doors and put them to good use. We personally cut 1” corner pieces from the recycled boxes to reinforce the corners on 

the outside of the record mailers. This is to assist in the protection of your vinyl in transit, as we know USPS isn’t widely 

known for handling so delicately at all times. We ship records that are in open and resealable poly sleeves outside of the jacket

 to prevent seam splits. If you purchase a sealed copy and would like us to open, and ship outside of the jacket, we will place

it in an open poly sleeve upon request.  Please read some of our positive feedbacks on packaging to confirm our methods accuracy. 

We find our customers happy with the care that is considered when wrapping their records, and they keep coming back for more! 

SHIPPING

Our shipping is a flat rate $4.00/ media mail per 1 or 2xLP. Most 3LP and boxsets are calculated by weight and destination.

If more than 2 LPs are purchased, we upgrade your package to a bigger box to accommodate the size and weight. If you wish 

to receive your vinyl in a more timely manner, please contact us to setup for priority. For Priority shipping, it is calculated 

by weight and destination, so prices vary. 

For international shipping, cost is calculated to destination and packages are wrapped the same way, and then double boxed. 

Depending on weight, under 4 pounds is sent USPS First Class/Priority International, over 4 pounds is USPS Priority International.

things right, and work hard for a 100% positive feedback. We will always try to remedy any issues that may rise. So please
