Also because it is one of the best ambient albums of all time (although it's also relentlessly percussive). Through the Looking Glass is amaaazing. Still waiting for my 2xLP, 45 version. Excited for this GITS OST too. WRWTFWW is on a roll. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRWTFWW is on a roll. QFT. Mine just arrived yesterday from Juno. I'm going to put it on soon. Very stoked even though there's been some negative feedback on Discogs (the comments section for it is pretty bat-shit actually). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's like 100$ CAD after shipping. FWIW I'm getting an estimate for a little over 75 CAD for the special edition, shipping included and I'm in Toronto.

jhulud Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Went to see the new one yesterday. After having watched the original anime earlier last week. The new one felt almost a mirror of the original esp. in some of they key shots and scenes. I enjoyed that faithfulness to the source material. Where it derailed for me was the change in the story and how it comes across as a forced justification on the whitewashing of the whole thing. Esp. pushing on you the whole "Here's why ScarJo was cast instead of an Asian actor" agenda and how it all fits in the plot and storyline. I didn't completely hate it...it was enjoyable but you couldn't help but notice how the story unraveled and lets you down by becoming a cliché in the latter half of the movie. The soundtrack by Clint Mansell was great though. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 How was Michael Pitt in the movie though? Love that guy. Haven't seen it yet but I'm hoping he gives a great performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen it yet but I'm hoping he gives a great performance. He was great. His character was well-done once you understand what he's all about and his origin. He was a combination of the Puppetmaster from the OG Anime and The Laughing Man from the SAC series. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astra Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm thinking about getting the limited edition version. 40 bucks is steep. How do you guys think the record quality is going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other WRWTFWW releases I have (Midori Takada and Moggi) sound awesome. astra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astra Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Pulled the trigger. Got the collectors editon for 42 bucks. Does anyone know what the vinyl themselves will look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
