Post-VC: Official Post-Rock/Post-Metal Discussion v.2.0
Gumbo72203 replied to jhulud's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Man. You guys need to go to Dunk!. Like, holy crap. Bruit.... Hubris... Year of No Light... Of the Vine... OUTLANDER!!!!!!!! I can't stress how good Outlander was. If you think they are great on record, they absolutely utterly DESTROY on stage. Their setlist was Threadbare, Return, Sinking, Sundowning. 3 Valium tracks ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Like, fuck dude. It's so doable too! It's in Ghent now, so you just fly into Brussels, take ONE TRAIN, and then you're there. You get off at Gent - St. Pieters station, and take the tram for 10 mins into the center of the city, and you are 5 mins walking from everything. It's so ridiculously easy. I am not rich, and I don't make a ton of money, and we were able to do it again this year. You guys can do this. You need to. please come see the magic once before you die -
PO: DIIV - Oshin (Repress) Sept. 4th
Gumbo72203 replied to Hairy Potter's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Oh i'm well into Discogs but I'm very bad at keeping track of everything I have. I keep telling myself that someday I'll go through my stuff one by one and add it, but that day never comes haha. Too busy with the band. never any free weekends. -
i never knew about these records so I'm so psyched to be able to get them. Such a vast, vast different sound than the Maserati that I know and love. I can see all your points about the sound change, they're definitely more dance heavy now but i love that stuff too so I'm cool. I imagine its like the people who got turned off by Isis who hopped on during Mosquito Control or Celestial and couldn't swallow the clean direction after Panopticon.

this is really nice, i like it. Now someone sell me a copy of Grivo - "Elude"

PO: DIIV - Oshin (Repress) Sept. 4th

PO Now: Oceansize - Everyone Into Position
Gumbo72203 replied to highfives's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I'm with you on EIP being too busy sometimes. I enjoy it, but I enjoy Effloresce and Frames much, much, much more. There's more of a balance of calm to chaos on those, I guess. EIP is a lot of chaos. I have originals of all full lengths, and I have the remaster of Effloresce too. They're both good. I would say that the remaster is a bit of an improvement, it just sounds sturdier. The original is still enjoyable, but it's like you just went from a 320mp3 to a wav. The 320 was definitely enjoyable, but the wav is just a bit better. On another note, does anybody know why Mike says this: "The creatively lauded and commercially maligned sophomore album by Oceansize has, unbelievably, earned its self a reissue!" -
[PO] HOLY FAWN – Death Spells
Gumbo72203 replied to Derek™'s topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
no clue what they're planning really... but caught the new tune at the show a couple weeks ago. Really good. These kids are so great, they deserve the world. I hope they become as big as Caspian or bigger. Headlining tour of the UK next, good move! -
i don't share this experience, I've had a few reviews help me to outstanding copies of certain albums. For instance, the Discogs reviews helped me track down the RTI pressing of Slowdive - S/T and man, that thing sounds gooooooood. the naysayers will always be louder than the supporters though, so i try to make a point to make a comment when a pressing is good.

been spinning them in my car all week. Aurora is a fucking titan. Holy cow this album. Hush is good too, but it's different. The title makes a lot of sense, it's a lot more subdued than Aurora is, which is cool, but I'm not sure I want not-rocking from Slow Crush to be their main delivery style. Gonna keep giving it time because it's obviously not bad, I just really like the in-your-face energy of Aurora.

Finally got my clear/gold cleaned and it's still noisy as shit and scratched to hell, AND it has a chunk missing from the edge lol. This is hilariously bad. I can cut my sandwiches with how sharp the edges are to this, and I could dig a hole with the area missing the chunk! The remaster does suit some songs, but I picked up a couple copies of the lauded Trust No One pressing from Sweden, and yeah... that's the fucking sound right there. That's Oceanic.

(PO - NOW) Shy, Low - S/T (1st time on vinyl!)
Gumbo72203 replied to Gumbo72203's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
that's how you do it! That Hubris is so sick. Anybody who loves Jakob needs that. Seriously good worship. new pressings for I Hear Sirens and finally the first album on vinyl! -

Gumbo72203 replied to jhulud's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Don't hold your breath. I share your sentiment, but I wouldn't expect anything. Maybe someday. None of the band members live in the same cities or states haha. Especially with Shy, Low already cranking out the follow-up to Snake. Dude you buy both!!! Unless you're meaning the "Stella Mori" represses, but even then... get both! I'm so happy they finally pressed the first full-length. I love old I Hear Sirens. -

Seems important: 10th anniversary of the debut Shy, Low album. Finally available on vinyl, 180g black from Post. Recordings. Comes with a few remixes, one of them courtesy of Holy Fawn. They only did 200 copies, so I'd move quickly, what with the volume that Pelagic moved of the new one. I love this album and still go back to it to this day. https://shylowmusic.bandcamp.com/album/shy-low https://www.postrecordings.com/products/shy-low-s-t-lp -
It finally happened! Pre-order Shy, Low's s/t album featuring 3 remixes (Digital only) and pressed to vinyl for the first time! This will be limited to 200 records on 180g Black Vinyl. Expected ship date will be May 2022. Move quickly, this will sell out. You should also pick up Driving Slow Motion, Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster, and Hubris. Only a few copies of all those remain, so act fast. They're awesome pressings too, I have them all. TNBD is one of the best sounding releases i have, it's fantastic. https://www.postrecordings.com/products/shy-low-s-t-lp https://shylowmusic.bandcamp.com/album/shy-low

Man that's a whole other story i need to get into haha. I have so many tapes that need to be played, and I don't know what to get. Obviously old Nakamichi's but the dragons are fuck-ass expensive and everyone on the Hoffman forums says Ebay is full of scammers, so i don't even know what to do haha.

Best/Worst Customer Service from a Distro/Label?
Gumbo72203 replied to silentgods's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
i need to give a shoutout to Maybeshewill and The Robot Needs Home Collective label. I ordered 5 copies of the remastered "I Was Here For a Moment..." vinyl for myself and friends. First package shipped via Fedex disappeared. A second package sent via Fedex.... disappeared. Tracking shows they never even left the airport, so it seems someone is stealing. Now, we're on our 3rd shipment that was broken into 2 parcels to be sent via USPS. They've been super responsive and helpful through all this, via their shipping broker SHHHIP LTD or whatever they're called. Fedex can suck a tailpipe and die in a fire. Fuck them. -
just about every other record i get these days is complete dogshit. No QC, just pumping out poorly pressed garbage with tons of pressing erros. Lately it's scratches in one channel, presumably from a rushed press that didn't mold to the plate completely. It's stupid. why is it so hard to make things good?

Gumbo72203 replied to jhulud's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Hell yeah. You should pick up the new one, Totem Youth, as well as the 10th anniversary "If Wolves" if that's in stock too. They are remarkably consistent. -

Right on, glad you're enjoying them. It's absolutely mind boggling how there are copies of "East-the-Water" still available. Top 10 post-rock album right there, IMO. It's just so, so ridiculously good. People are clueless! haha
