To mark the 20-year anniversary of The Late Great Planet Earth — a defining milestone in Mos Generator’s catalog — we’re proud to offer this very limited boxset (100 copies worldwide) in our shop. This package isn’t just a release — it’s a deep dive into a classic that helped shape modern heavy rock.
The Late Great Planet Earth is a sprawling 12-track concept album connected as a continuous suite, exploring apocalyptic themes through dense, interlocking compositions and a blend of heavy, psych, and progressive rock elements.
Many reviewers have long celebrated the original work’s balance of styles and execution:
“The complete execution is absolutely flawless, and this time the band sounds more progressive than ever before, what doesn’t mean that they don’t use their ass kickin’ hardrock ammunition.” — Cosmiclava review of the original LP/CD — describing the album’s mix of progressive structure and heavy riff-driven rock.
And for fans of raw, authentic heavy sound with depth:
“If there’s such a thing as fusing some soul into a doom palette, MOS GENERATOR has achieved that. Seldom will you hear an unambiguous merge between the two outside of BLACK SABBATH’s ‘Sabotage’.” — Ray Van Horn Jr., Blabbermouth (quoted in overall band context) — highlighting the band’s unique blend of heaviness and emotional resonance.
This 20th Anniversary Boxset includes rare and unreleased material from the era of the original album:
-
3×LPs, featuring previously unreleased demos, a fresh new mix of the album, plus a studio outtake
-
Live tracks capturing the band’s powerhouse performances from the era
-
1 CD compiling everything except the demos
-
24-page 12×12in booklet with rare photos and an in-depth essay
-
11×17in poster
