Just putting finishing touches to website, which is somewhat crucial as that's how pre-orders will be placed. Been stress testing it over the weekend, so it should prove robust enough to handle at launch. Far from the finished article, we'll be populating and polishing it for the rest of the year and beyond!

Will the HU site be the only place that you will be able to order it? or will it be available at other outlets like Amazon? Not that it matters for me I'll be ordering directly from the site, but just a curious question.

For those of you wishing to pre-order 'Hardcore Underground 6' and / or Joey Riot & Kurt's 'This Is Powerstomp' album, you can now do so at the link below:
http://www.hardcoreunderground.co.uk/
Both albums will be shipped so as to drop through your door on or around October 28th.
You will notice that as well as the individual items, you can also buy these two releases as a bundle. This saves you money on shipping, especially if you are outside the UK. It is a model we intend to continue using going forward in an effort to offer value for money to our customers, without in any way compromising the quality or ethos of our products.

Hate to be a nag and everything, but I notice the new HU album is ?4 more than I've ever paid before, and thats for all previous albums. Also the Joey Riot and Kurt album is nearly twice the price of every other artist album you have released, heave you ever considered going into politics by the way?

Oh my god your site looks like Windows 8
Anyway, I'll probably wait a while longer to buy my copy. Maybe next year or something

It's been two years since HU5, during which the cost of everything has gone up. Frankly, the prices HMV and Amazon could afford to sell at were always faintly ridiculous as they could operate on wafer thin margins thanks to volume (bespoke packaging, ink for invoice/labels, postage etc). We also have to expect a drop in sales volume by moving to direct sale model, certainly in the short term. Add that to the desire to come up with a sustainable model which encourages artists to write and license, and a price hike is unavoidable. We're actually charging less for postage than we'll be paying, in almost all instances.
The Powerstomp album is priced at the level Joey and Kurt wanted, and is in line with various other direct sale Triple CDs. It's worth noting the *two* CDs of upfront unmixed material. The Storm & Euphony, and Brisk, Triple CDs will be priced at ?11.99. Less in a bundle.
As for Politics, we get enough of that in the hardcore scene I assure you

LOL, is the site an early april fool's joke? Why on earth would anyone want to make something look like Windows 8? First thing I did was to get rid of that menu!!

I like the new site.
I also like the chance to give HU more of my money directly, just hope it works out against using other suppliers. Personally, I'm more than happy to use artist/labels own sites as they'll benefit from the (hopefully) extra income and bring us more lovely releases.
I know that realistically I'm reaching the end of my hardcore buying days so a final flurry of CD's will do me nicely :-)

Whether the "new UI" interface is a great way to interact with a desktop computer, or not, is surely irrelevant here. For presenting a website, with flashes of information, in a format which scales from smartphone to tablet to 4k desktop it works quite well.
Compare the usability to a flash heavy website of yore. Then factor in this is "at launch"..... Seems to work pretty well, to me. It enables easy updating, and neat presentation without using too much in the way of resources (local, remote or bandwidth). Even if you hate the "style" it's still very smooth to navigate through.
It will be fleshed out to accommodate the masses of upcoming projects and ideas we're working on, for the moment we're essentially testing the registration/checkout/shipping systems before populating further.

I detest Windows 8. For however usable and responsive it is, I just hate everything about it. I think that hatred was compounded when I was forced to do a design project at uni based on their tiles thing. I took one look, saw a n over-compressed postal image and closed the tab lol.
I'll wait for it to be on Amazon or something. I'm spending too much money at the moment with no real job to fall back on
