mxv Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Well they did already make about a half million different pressings of this and they all sounded fine though I'm a little surprised they aren't milking this for more sales as they would obviously be able to move quite a few.

alejandromatic Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The post on FB got changed: "There will be a vinyl re-release of this album coming shortly via Robotic Empire - updates on that when we have a release date. Thanks!" Also a confirmation from Aaron Harris on Instagram yesterday: " Vinyl out in a couple weeks." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 But is it just another repress, or will it be the 2014 remastered version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejandromatic Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I don't know, I am grabbing one either way, since I don't own it on vinyl yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 But is it just another repress, or will it be the 2014 remastered version? Interesting query, Mary. I think it would be cool if it was the new master. doomczar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'd only hope and assume so, but you never really know. I'll be passing if it isn't the newest press, which I've been enjoying a great deal as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 It would be quite foolish if it wasn't the remaster, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 quite foolish? try cost effective. if it is the old master they don't have to create new plates. I can definitely see it being the original master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 I think cost is important, of course, but there's other factors:There's 7 pressings at the moment. This would be the 8th, according to discogs. As much as cost efficiency would be in play, I think no matter what this 8th upcoming pressing will still sell out, or come close to. A new mastering + dedicated fans are good reasons to create new plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It definitely won't be the "original" master as that one is 12 years old by now and those plates are probably retired. If anything beside the 2014 master it will be the very last Robotic remaster from 2011. Its the most recent set of plates/mothers and they're already manufactured. They simply need to squeeze more vinyl through them. I can kind of see the 2014 master being cut though. Even if it isn't as cost effective, its still something they're proud of. I wonder if its going to be cut through a digital transfer as I imagine the 2014 master was bounced from the tape to digital though I don't actually know that for a fact. I seriously HOPE it isn't but it feels like something they would do considering that this master was intended for digital/CD production anyway. Many questions. I want answers.

downisthenewup87 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Any word if they've changed their mind and will be represting Panopticon as well? If not, I'll be ordering this as soon as it's up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjwinters Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 YES! Thank you...this made me more excited than Black Friday deals Derek™ and GhostTrail 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ordered that light green because fuck money. Will gladly hop on a remastered press of Panopticon if that happens, too... though I think Oceanic is such a more noticeable upgrade.

whoshotthefrog Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Grabbed the transparent green... I have too many copies of this record Likewise but I love this album too much not to pass on another copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 From the mouth of Aaron Harris, this RM really pops. Trustworthy? Fox in the henhouse? I'm gambling.(and probably Panopticon - if it ever sees the light of day - even though the 6th RP on black sounds fantastic.) Everything Harris has mixed, and especially with Chris Common mastering has been butter to my ears. I don't know if he had any role in this RM. I do enjoy my Clear RP copy, sounds great. I have never heard the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downisthenewup87 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Think there will (eventually) be a signifigant difference in value between the translucent green and the splatter? The splatter is gorgeous and is what I'm leaning towards, but don't think I own a variant of a record with a print run as low as 200 copies... which makes the translucent tempting.
