Figured this could use of a thread of its own. Here's a press release from exclaim.ca and the first track. "Oceanic, meanwhile, has been remastered for an upcoming November 4 release through Ipecac. Described in a press release as "a sea change moment for Isis," the group's sophomore LP last received a double-LP repress through Robotic Empire, but the band themselves have praised the upcoming edition's tweaked sonics. "The clarity that's been revealed in these songs was surprising even to me," drummer Aaron Harris revealed in a statement. "I've heard these songs probably thousands of times. When I listened to the remastered version of 'Weight' it was like I was back in the studio recording the song. I also noticed a lot of new detail in Jeff's bass guitar, and energy in the guitars. I know Oceanic is a favorite among fans, and I think this remaster will bring a new appreciation even to those who have heard it many times." You'll find a stream of the set's "The Beginning and the End," a punishing, post-metal melding of aggression and melody, down below. The reissue will also come with new packaging." https://soundcloud.com/ipecacrecordings/isis-the-beginning-and-the-end_remastered

Does anyone have one of these? It's a version of oceanic with a handmade cloth bag/cover that slips over the entire LP. Usually sells for about $50. I'm interested. Let me know.
