jhulud Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 So far I am loving how the redux recording remaster and changed tracklisting sounds. It's like listening to it for the first time anew and so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceghost Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I hope Graveface streams the redux soon. I'm dying to hear it but don't want to buy it just yet in case I want to just stick with the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveface Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Finally got my retail copy in the mail. Unfortunately, the comments about the pressing (lack of) quality are real, it just crackles everywhere. An irony that the best album of the year was turned into wax with one of the worst pressings I have in my collection. Hopefully Ryan will repress it (180g perhaps?) with another factory. The album deserves it. Heya. I'm more than happy to exchange it for you if you'd like. It's like 10% of the pressing is super-noisy for some reason. The rest seem to be great though. The few copies I've pulled as personal copies sound perfect. We've gotten some returns though that definitely do not sound amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveface Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 received my copy of pipe dreams redux today. i'm really disappointed with the flimsy jacket and poor artwork all around. listening to the MP3s of the new mix right now. will comment on the rest later. Would be more than happy to issue you a refund if you'd like to send it back. It's the same jacket we've done for years so I'd hardly call it flimsy and the artwork is what the band wanted from the get-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveface Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 i appreciate this part. but the fact that it was advertised as "the way the band wanted you to hear and see it" and then showed up looking very similar to at least two of their other whirr releases but with a flimsier package is just a little disappointing. i prefer the OG artwork (i think that jacket is slightly thicker as well). the new mix/track listing is great though. no complaints about that. That's the entire point. It's supposed to look EXACTLY like Distressor but with different artwork. It was advertised accurately as well because it's how the band wanted you to hear it and see it. The mixes are not what Teepee wanted and the artwork is not what Teepee wanted...it's what the people that wrote the songs wanted. The packaging is the same we've done for years. Imprint is the broker and Ross Ellis the printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dying to hear it but don't want to buy it just yet in case I want to just stick with the original. I will not be streaming it or distributing it through my normal distribution channels. That's the promise I made to Teepee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicrot Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 For anyone who hasn't seen, the Whirr / Nothing split is up in Run For Cover's store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batnoises Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 For anyone who hasn't seen, the Whirr / Nothing split is up in Run For Cover's store. those flags are to die for. guess I'm buying the bundle, I wasn't planning on spending this much. edit: anyone think these would sell out closer to the release date? I'd rather wait a bit, but I'm unsure how quickly whirr stuff usually goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azvd Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Heya. I'm more than happy to exchange it for you if you'd like. It's like 10% of the pressing is super-noisy for some reason. The rest seem to be great though. The few copies I've pulled as personal copies sound perfect. We've gotten some returns though that definitely do not sound amazing. Thanks Ryan / Olivia. Wouldn't expect a different approach from you guys. I've ordered the purple-ish a couple of days ago. In case it sounds better, it should fill my "audiophile" needs and and exchange wouldn't be necessary, Otherwise, I'll get in touch, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChardeeMacDennis Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Make sure to have 20 dollars of rfc vinyl in your cart and you will automatically have a singles 7in in your cart. If it doesn't show up, it's sold out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinji Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Anybody have any updates on the remaining RC copies of Sway that have yet to go out? This record gets better with every listen and Will Yip mixed this so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batnoises Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 pipe dreams redux just came in for me (aswell as the aforementioned missing sway poster). Outstanding looking record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batnoises Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 considering purchasing sway again on teal. why do you do this to me, graveface ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm stoked on how my pink came out. It's super bright. Heads up, the teals I've seen on IG have been very grey-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm waiting on a huge shipment from Graveface, I'm hoping it gets sent out soon, since as of yet I have nothing to show for being in the RC! :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that does the hand pours was just in a car accident and is recovering right now so it'll be a little longer than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I've never really listened to Whirr until today. I put on Pipe Dreams and now I just got an email from PayPal saying I bought 2 Whirr albums. dickcritter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recs Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 just downloaded the REDUX on the GF bandcamp... I thought this was remastered or something maybe alittle extra give on the sound quality... yet it disappointingly sounds the exact same as my former pipe dreams download... kinda bummed. but whatever, still pumped to have the record!

azvd Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I kinda enjoyed it, it's a bit (ok, just a bit) harsher. Shed another light over the record due to the consecutive listens I've been doing, but it's still is my least favorite from them. It actually would make more sense if it had came out before Distressor, when the band sounds somewhat tighter and cohesive. Pipe Dreams sometimes sounds like they were flirting with diverse musical approaches, like if the band was searching for their signature sound.
