Disc 1 is kind of nice looking, an orange inside of red. Disc 2 though, is probably the ugliest record I've ever seen. It looks like those opaque multi color LPs from the early days of vinyl. Like a bunch of melted crayons mashed together. Pics or it didn't happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hopefully this works. I uploaded from my phone, so we'll see. Sorry for the low light cell phone shots. Sides A and B is on that Orange and red, and sides C and D are on that orange, brown, black melted crayon monstrousity. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voltagedrop Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Kind of glad I passed on this. That looks like a failed test pressing compared to the mock up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Yeah, it's kind of disappointing. But, oh well. I haven't listened yet, but I hope the pressing is quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 To be fair, that was a pretty ambitious mockup. I never did order the vinyl for myself, but the album itself is pretty decent. hammertime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona_Is_The_Reason Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Did you guys get a shipping notice for this? I haven't heard a thing. Their website won't work and they haven't responded to any emails. Wondering where my copy might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Almost all the way through this and it's quite good! I think it would appeal to a lot of Mogwai fans who were put off by the sonic shift they made with Hardcore. I get a lot of older Mogwai from this, but slower and more atmospheric. One song seems pretty synth heavy, but that's about it. My second disc looks real ugly too, although I don't care that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona_Is_The_Reason Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Mine finally showed. The red/orange looks great, but the other one looks like petrified vomit. Ambitious mockup for sure, but I don't think I've ever had an album look so different from the mockup. Not a huge deal but kinda lame.

kjkenney Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Picked this up yesterday. sweet packaging overall, and an AMAZING album. Held off on listening until now and this ranks up in their tops for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackshidt Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Can anyone tell me how to recognize the orange variable from the black in the original sealed state? Two stores near me have this for sale: one store has written "orange" on the price sticker and is charging twice as much, but both items seem to be identical with identical stickers on the cover and identical barcodes? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! If it's the UK version, it has a sticker on the front with a different catalog number saying that it's orange. According to Discogs, there doesn't seem to be a difference in the US versions, but I don't think the orange one was sold outside of the TR webstore. The simple way of doing it is to buy it, open it on the spot and if it's not orange, get your money back. jackshidt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephemeral Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'm kinda disappointed that my copy the hole in the middle of the record on A/B isn't big enough and won't fit on my player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check to see if it fits and go from there. I occasionally have an LP that's real tight on my spindle and that's how I address it. Might be a better way to do it, but that's always worked for me.

I've got a few that are like that and never wanna risk it getting stuck or something on the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattallurgist Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Got to see Atomic live earlier this year - it was pretty intense. I don't think I've ever come out of a gig feeling so dreadful, it's really hard to describe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
