I'm going to play devil's advocate for a sec...I think people are just disappointed their first pressing purchase, which was supposedly the only pressing of this, has turned out to not be the the only pressing and a newer, more limited, and perhaps more appealing pressing has appeared.  That's understandable...to an extent.
 
 But think about this: I'm guessing most, if not all, of us here really like Mae and are excited they're putting out new music and seem to be active once again (<---focus on this last sentence, mostly).  And if we're all being honest, we know being in Mae isn't financially lucrative and these guys more than likely make less money than many of us do here.  With that in mind, I think them making available another 500 copies of the (m)(a)(e) album should be seen less a slap in the face/broken promise/misleading/whatever or however you feel...and more as a band making a decision most of us would make were we grown adults in a relatively small band like Mae--press some more copies and make a little more money (gasp) and make a few more folks happy who missed the first pressing.  
 
If that's going to help these guys continue making music and being an active band again, maybe we should all be willing to let go of the disappointment/deep betrayal we feel and see this for what it is: a band we love is making music again and that's a great reason to...let it go.

Didn't go the last two years, here's hoping for something spectacular like the 35th Anniv of Thriller or the 26th Anniv of Metallica's Black Album. /s

I picked up the red vinyl of this on the weekend and my copy actually sounded great. Pretty solid album

Sounds great, got it!

As it was intended as a trilogy, we've got a Tycho LP Trilogy bundle now up on the site. Includes Dive, Awake, and Epoch (Black vinyl for Dive/Awake, Red vinyl for Epoch). Physical or digital, save a few bones either way you choose!

Got some cool stuff in the works that I'm super excited to share with you guys as well, stay tuned.

Dang! Those are some amazing colors, that bright green is bonkers!

Preview of the next 7" is up, Look On Up is on one side at least.
 

I made a $30 offer...will let you know if I'm lucky!

I love how this turned out.
 

That's how my first Ghostly purchase went as well. Still have the confirmation email, ordered it February of 2013.
Thought the price might be high but after seeing what it looked like and a review from Sly Vinyl, figured I'd go for it. One of my favorite albums and packing in general

Wow, really cool to see all the feedback from you guys here! Thanks as well to Derek™ for making the thread.
 
All I can say is keep your eyes peeled, we've got a ton of music, goods, and clothing on the way! I'll be sure to pop in here and answer any questions you guys have as well (that I'm permitted to answer, of course!)
 
Thanks again for the welcoming vibes here all, myself and the rest of the team are super appreciative of all the positive words so far. 
 
 
 

The original release was CD only, was pressed on vinyl for another 7 years. Maybe that's what they're talking about because in that IG post, they said "emulate original release" not "original pressing".
 
still would've preferred a gatefold

I will trade someone my gatefold for the booklet 

For anyone curious in artwork for the demo tapes, I've been using this:

Been so long since I PO'd, almost forgot about it. Going to be a nice spin

^

Surprised it actually didn't sell out before lunch time. Unlike other groups of fans I've interacted with or observed (too creepy?), the hardcore MM fans are pretty hardcore...and that's coming from a huge fan. I didn't buy bc that's definitely too expensive for me..it's also coming out in the last month of the year when my record budget is already blown.
Wish I could buy it and support these dudes and there families. Having met them, I'm always happy to buy their tunes, go to a show or two and chat with them. That's why, although pricey, I can't imagine them making a cash grab. I think some fans seeing it as a really personal album or it's the only album they really like. Bands sell VIP tickets to shows, or have special VIP merch...in this case, it just happened to be their most popular album AND it's treated as a "VIP item".
I'm kinda salty about the price but when I think about how it "could" have happened, maybe it's a classic "Cartel Chroma Situation" but in reverse? Maybe they could have added some random recordings to essentially add value without having to create some physical? Maybe WB was so disinterested in Mutemath's attempt to press the record that did in fact milk it and charge more for what they saw was WB losing money? There could have been a "point of no return" where MM (who I believe is independent) spent so much of their own money trying to make everything work, they had to release it this way?
Wish we could have some more info about the whole ordeal but these are my hot takes.
Bummed that it could really be the final press though but as I finish a post that's too long, I just need to move on and put on a record and smile.

You guys waiting for the Tycho record are in for a fun experience when you listen for the first time

I listened to it when it first released, but have been refraining from it recently so that when I can spin it it's like the first time.

New Shigeto album on the horizon?
 
 

Posting because even though I haven't been buying lately, Ghostly still has my heart. May god bless this thread tbh

Posting for the next Com Truise record.

First pressing ftw.
