It's not like I'm the only one but I hope you're right and it's like 5-6 bad copies max. Still have some hope left though. I'll know more in about an hour.

Nope, distinct crackle and loud pops. Giving my copy a spin now. Have to set up my setup though, actually didn't wanna do this until I've moved but your impressions make me too curious.

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit w/ Ortofon 2M Red, Pro-Ject Pre-Amp, a proper AV amplifier (but I forgot the brand) and tower speakers from Teufel. I totally believe you guys about your records sounding good but from what I've experienced and heard so far it's quite the gamble whether it'll be a decent copy or not. I wonder how that could even be the case. Maybe some intern at the pressing plant cleaning the master dics only every tenth copy or what? Not that I know whether that's necessary at all. Enlighten me please.

Wow, what a huge fail from amazon (or rather a marketplace seller?). Sorry to hear, pal. Don't really think this'll help but at least you got a decent sounding record out of this, because from what I've heard on my friend's setup, the repress sounds like total crap. Especially the B side. I was quite baffled actually. Additionally since current impressions vary so much, cause from what I've heard, it seems that this will be my worst sounding record so far. (only listened to his copy, haven't spun mine yet). Well anyway, this won't help you really if it's just for collecting purposes, I guess. I just checked amazon.de, seems like hhv's amazon marketplace shop has three in stock. For 34,29€ though... yikes.

omfg. live. in Bonn. You're a godsend, WalnutSoap. you too, thievedrelic.

Congrats to the lucky ones and kudos to Tim for the contest! I also wanted to congratulate you on the stellar editing job of your videos, since you've not only hooked me on extraordinary records but on new artists alike. Now I really gotta get my hands on that Bersarin Quartett repress before that's gone, too. and that Gabriel Saloman track at the end of Screen-printed vinyl records and covers, Part 1 is just awesome. So yeah, I hope you never run out of stuff to show us.

Magnificent news. Finally another chance to own a Dredg LP after missing out on both Leitmotif and El Cielo.

Black/Gold variant is back up, just snatched one. yay. edit: aaaaand it's gone again.

There's quite the squealer in the Fight Club, ask him. I think his name's Goo? ..Gogel? Can't recall. something like that. I didn't know what was going on and he helped me out in like 0.22 seconds.

Definitely an awesome movie, no questions asked, I'm just saying that it's my least favorite from him. Edit: I think Black Swan was his mainstream sweet spot without being to 'artsy' for the moneygivers, with Noah he finally had the funds but also more people telling him what he can and can't do. Executive Producers can be the worst.

The thing about Aronofsky and why he is so extraordinary in my point of view is that all of his movies except for Noah, which is sadly his worst, invoke an emotional or rather spiritual intelligence in the viewer. Imagine an ocean of feels, his plots are simply tiny rafts that are influenced by the stream. The ironic part about Noah is that the huge arc Hollywood made him build was too big to actually make the viewer feel anything else except the puffed up plot. I'd say his characters are so over the top so it would be easier for the viewer to actually take the ride, be absorbed by it. So yeah, the plot is happening quite obviously, if you want to participate though is your choice.

Hey guys, was lurking around the internet, trying to shed some light on the Clint Mansell test pressing situation when I stumbled over this on reddit. Don't know if this appeared already on here somewhere. Just in case, here you go: That was over three months ago. Could be nothing, I know. Not that it matters really, I've been on the hype train since he posted the picture.

I might be in when it comes to Journey ..Shame I ordered Hotline Miami 2 weeks ago. Plus I'm also from NRW so there's that.

Just got a confirmation from iam8it that this is indeed not limited, so there should be more than enough time to go for it.

$26 to Germany. /sigh

This is so amazing. If there's anything that comes close to the experience of listening to Mansell's "Death Is The Road To Awe" it's gotta be Apotheosis. Thanks for sharing.

Kinda afraid to ask because nobody seems to be too keen to enlighten us with their experience. Anyone else experience skips or surface noise so far? Still waiting for my copy to arrive.

Any news on a discount code for their site? I'd hate to miss my last chance on this.

Does anybody know whether the first pressing was also on 180gr?

Thanks for the high quality vinyl porn! I've subscribed some time ago after trying to find out more about glow in the dark records. Thanks for your efforts and for making me an even bigger geek! YT name's Oh Boy

A mass released repress on clear wax (presumably)? That'd be something. Fingers crossed they fixed the surface noise problem.

Heads up, both listings on the German amazon are gone. Get it before it's a half-remembered dream.
