nelso330 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I will say it does show a slight dent looking straight at it (if you were to draw a 1 in line from where the mark is in the picture the dent is that long, you can tell the change in coloration is where the DENT IS)…but these boxes often has slight indentation at the top anyway so it sorta looks like it should be there, or at least expected over time! But yea I was shocked how barely touched this was! SORRY it was kinda hard to get a good pic to show all aspects….if people want more happy to post some!

nelso330 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I know others have said this but I just can't help hype this more! This set is well put together, each Loop is housed in a super thick GATEFOLD jacket! I think back to the Flaming Lips box set and this is like TEN TIMES the weight and construction. It would of been nice for the wax to be little heavier but (and that point were talking too heavy to hold lol) The Art work within is a little boring IMO (I get it and its minimal ideas but was hoping the book had more than just "a flip book of pictures of the sky line slowly getting darker) Yet to watch the DVD! But to have 9LPs and 5 CDs and 1 DVD and Book is amazing for $135--- My favorite thing about it so far, is the LIVE LOOP VERSIONS LP - just fantastic! It has really SLOWED DOWN but it just hit the 30 left mark! (once it gets to 10-15 I feel they will fly once people see them!) Just pass up buying like 4 or so records this month and its paid for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erthan Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I got my copy today. I'd take a photo of the damage but I can't find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 No idea what the HELL is going on with my package. It's been processed through the New Jersey post office in the same area code 6 times now. Delivery date has been pushed back 3 times. It finally said NY, NY yesterday and expected delivery of today.... and now it never switched to Out for Delivery. Again. Fuckin' USPS man. Fuck!

Mine shows Out for Delivery in my city now, so hopefully it will be waiting for me when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChardeeMacDennis Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Love their idea of a "damaged box" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Especially sucks because I could probably take a 10 minute taxi ride to Temp Res' warehouse. Always the close ones that give you the runaround! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChardeeMacDennis Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Listening now and I can't say it's something I'll spin a lot. Regardless, the set is beautiful (even with the tiny tear) and definitely worth the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetrakis Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Got mine today as well, pristine! Double boxed, packaged incredibly. Thanks Jeremy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Let's play a game! It's called "spot the damage" Give up? Me too! If you're on the fence on this over damage concerns, I think there's enough here in this thread now to get you off. (heh) So may thanks to Rooksbook (again) for the heads up. What a steal.

iwokeinrelief Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Double boxed, packaged incredibly. And, to further praise this - styrofoam corner protectors, in a box, wrapped in bubble wrap, in another box. Seriously not fucking around with these.

Derek™ Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah I'm new to ambient music so I'm still not sure if I'd spin it often So torn Just weighing in on the music itself; I think this release is a lot tougher to "get into" than most ambient artists. If I wasn't already accustomed and fond of the genre, this thing would've went right over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robes Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Unrelated, my copy of this came with a sheet with the tracklisting on the back, but its a bit too wide to put into the sleeve as it sticks out, what are you guys doing with yours so it doesn't get damaged? don't really want to fold it...

Not the most helpful, but I just let it stick out that little bit once I slid it in. I figured it was either that, fold it, or toss it. Seemed like the lesser evil.

rooks Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Sigh... my tracking info now says that they tried to deliver my package (at 8:45 PM last night LOL) but my business was closed and they would deliver it next day. But, it's now 10:30 and it hasn't updated to "Out For Delivery" like it usually does before 9. Not feeling too optimistic! Sort of worried that after all this shuffling around it will show up super-damaged and it will be all USPS' fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of worried that after all this shuffling around it will show up super-damaged and it will be all USPS' fault. Update: Walked all the way to the post office to hear the same old bullshit of the supervisor telling me "I wasn't understanding her" as she told me the package would be delivered today, and I told her that the mail already came, the building supervisor said there will be no more mail today, and it isn't there over and over and over again. In the end she refused to go downstairs and see if my box was there and instead told me I wasn't listening and if I knew how to read I would have seen on the tracking info that it will come today. If Cthulu came out of the ocean and ate every USPS worker in NYC he'd be too kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
