Nice. Didn't even know this was happening. Hope it hits US retailers soon.

Bundle is $99.99 with shipping.

Listened to my copy from CT a few times. I think the album is okay overall. A few really good tracks. I think I'm losing interest in his sound since Life of Pause. I much prefer the jangly guitars from the Golden Haze EP and Gemini era. This new stuff sounds too polished to me.

Surprised they haven't done a US pressing of Ten Rapid. But I too could get behind a EP+6 pressing. 

 

 

You can get those Ten Rapid RSD pressings from the EU for about $20 plus shipping. Loads of them on Discogs. Still haven't pulled the trigger on that yet for me though, have the CD.

Looks like these titles are being repressed. Available on Bullmoose and Amazon with release date of 9/14/2018.

Though, I don't think these titles were terribly difficult to track down from the EU and Canada.

Ex-Machina score

Mogwai - Atomic

Mogwai, Trent Reznor, A. Ross - Before the Flood

Hope they end up on Dry Goods.

Discogs.com "notes section" per each specific release.

Steve Hoffman forums. 

It's gonna take a bit of research for particular releases.

I read that Bullmoose said this is a repress. Not rediscovered old stock.

Does music direct charge right away or when they have it in stock?

When it ships.

This is excessive.

Let your ears decide.

Probably not that much considering they move thousands and thousands of records every month. They could repress anything and they'll sell out of it, I'm sure most labels/artists would love to be involved.

Maybe so. But you need to have all those titles lined up, negotiate the business side of it, remaster (some titles), deal with pressing plants (delays), etc. It is no small task.

It's got to be a real struggle getting the rights to press these titles and pressing multiple exclusives month after month after month.

What pressing is that Miles? 

Can you post a discogs link?

Wow that is a really good looking variant. Can't really justify it though since the original black pressing is super cheap.

Might just be me, but I think I say this for about every NB exclusive release.

Praying my copy doesn't arrive warped or off-center. What's with their pressing plant getting these wrong every time?? You'd think they would switch plants or be absolutely certain to fix the issue by now.

I was under the impression the original stampers might be faulty.

Received my copy. Side A is pressed off-center. My tonearm definitely has some side to side movement, creating a bit of pitch shifting.  Side B is less off-center than A, not terrible and listenable.  I'd say it is an improvement over my black copy, but that's not saying much. Haven't gotten to C and D yet. 

Using a Rega RP40.

Edited: listened to sides C and D. Disc is slightly warped, but not off-center.

Overall, pressing is okay. Definitely not floored by it. I give it a B-. An upgrade over my current black copy though.

AKG K702s have limited bass unless you have a massive headphone amp. The soundstage is huge, but overall sound can be dry with fatiguing high end. 

Grados tend to run bright as well. Have a quirky design, but do sound very good. I've had the SR60, 80, and 225s. 

V-moda makes some really durable and portable closed back headphones. Might want to look into them as well. I also recommend the Sennheiser HD650s. Nice comfort level, open soundstage, good build quality, and just a lush midrange. Little rolled off on the highs and good bass output. Less listening fatigue overall relative to the AKG K702 and any Grado model.

Just got mine in. The picture came out dark but it's surprisingly very faithful to the mockup. Gorgeous record. 

 

EDIT: Am I doing something wrong that this picture looks blurry until you click on it?

How does it sound? Is it a good pressing?

I'll sell my copy at cost after it arrives.  Likely will be off-center and pressed like shit like the first pressing was. ;)

I’ve gotta be in the minority in thinking the cover art is just creepy as fuck but not bad. Certainly not as bad as that goofy APC cover art referenced above this. That shit is just silly.

What's really creepy is the light pink t shirt they're selling with the cover art on it. Ha ha.

Might just be me, but that atrocious cover art is keeping me from purchasing the album. I just don't want to have that in my house.

Never felt this way before. Ha ha.

Might just be me, but autographs are so overrated. Couldn't care less.
