Comet Is Coming - Exploding In Slow Motion: The Complete Channel The Spirits Recordings [LP] (PRE-ORDER)

2026 marks ten years since the planets aligned for the release of Channel The Spirits - the debut album by The Comet Is Coming. The trio of Shabaka, Danalogue and Betamax, powerful in their own right, transcended to another plane when united. Exploding In Slow Motion: The Complete Channel The Spirits Recordings 2013-2017CE celebrates that legacy by bringing together the original album, the Prophecy and Death To The Planet EPs and various rarities from the era, including four previously unreleased tracks. Released on coloured triple vinyl in a maximalist package, as well as a new double CD, the reissue sees Death To The Planet on CD for the first time, and seven tracks new to vinyl, including one completely new track unearthed from the band's first ever recorded session.The Comet was first sighted in 2013, their reputation enhanced by tranformative live shows at the Total Refreshment Centre in east London and beyond. Their debut EP Prophecy arrived in a blaze of light and sound and word spread. Channel The Spirits followed and the wider world sat up and took notice, notably when the album was named a Mercury Music Prize album of the year in 2016. It was followed closely by the Death To The Planet EP - although death in this case was rebirth. And dancing. In 2019 the band signed for Impulse! And recorded two further albums - Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery and Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam, plus The Afterlife EP. It took The Comet Is Coming global, with tours across five continents. The Comet Is Coming burned bright for a relatively short time but touched everyone who witnessed them in action - a spiritual union of exceptional musicianship, utter conviction and a rare ability to channel the energy of the universe.
