Evoke Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 ISIS (the band) vinyl repress madness continues with Panopticon now getting the royal treatment, remastered audio, revamped printwork and all! This is the first full-length we ever worked with the band on, almost 10-years ago to the date (!), and it feels great to have it in print and available all these years later. This time around the ante has been upped with Mika Jussila of Finnvox Studios’ brilliant audio remastering, who was also responsible for the recent Oceanic remastering as well (previously erroneously credited by us to James Plotkin, who also does great work). Aaron Turner’s iconic layout has also received a tune-up, with uncoated printed-innersleeves housed within a super high-gloss, tip-on heavyweight gatefold jacket. 2000 copies of this beautiful latest pressing were made: 200 on clear/translucent blue, 500 on clear/translucent orange and 1300 on black vinyl. Panopticon is in-house now and available to order from the Robotic Empire – Online Store. https://www.roboticempire.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=7a1b7268237fd8d4ec75e695a5b2db3d&keyword=isis brandy, calltoarmssoia, Shameful Dread and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Came here to post this as well. That /200 variant keeps disappearing - hopefully it's just cart hogs and those who are sleeping can grab one in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Snagged a copy of the /200... Way late to this ISIS train, but glad I finally hopped aboard a couple months ago. Band rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Very, very cool this went down! Came out of nowhere. Now if only they could keep Celestial in stock and get a repress of Wavering Radiant. And maybe Robo could produce (the first ever?) Isis logo embroidered patch...

whoshotthefrog Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks for posting this. Luckily, I was able to buy the 200 on clear/translucent blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Snagged a copy of the /200... Way late to this ISIS train, but glad I finally hopped aboard a couple months ago. Band rules. Me too! I'm late to this band too. Was aware of their existence but never took the time to sit and listen. Glad I picked up these recent releases from Robo. They look excellent and sound amazing.

eshame Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 On ISIS' third-full-length album, Panopticon, the unblinking eye of counter-insurgency is exposed with mesmerizing stereophonic clarity. wat edit: grabbed a clear/blue. $26 shipped. this is what the IARB repress should have been like GhostTrail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 That New Year's resolution didn't last long. Dang, thanks RE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Ordered a clear/blue. This being my favorite Isis (the band) album, I couldn't resist 74R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Secular Haze Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I just ordered one. Only because monsterrod did. Are these ISIS guys any good? monsterrod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalZombie Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Right when I told myself I wasn't going to buy any records for a while. Ugh... Ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shameful Dread Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 That New Year's resolution didn't last long. Dang, thanks RE. Right when I told myself I wasn't going to buy any records for a while. Ugh... Ordered. Ha, I'm in the same boat. I didn't want to buy any records until I paid my new speakers off but this album rules and that blue is beautiful. I'm glad this happened though, so not complaining. Now to not buy any more records for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpjustinpape Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I kept reading this wasnt going to happen, Glad it did! I like the new black glossy cover this has. ISIS is the only band that can keel pulling me in for remastered releases like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Does the remastered version sound much different, for anyone that's heard it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Does the remastered version sound much different, for anyone that's heard it? Noticeably better as far as the MP3s are concerned. I'd describe it as cleaner, crisper, and more dynamic. This was a no-brainer for me... especially after considering how great the Oceanic remaster turned out.

andi Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Damn It! I have all those albums and don't do the variant game anymore, but those remasters ... hmmmm. Have to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG88 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 so all these recent remasters coming out have different remasters than the ones that were done for the shades of the swarm boxset? why? all were done by plotkin anyway, what would've changed since the boxset?

n_tyndall Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I just posted on the other robotic empire thread but I missed out on the translucent blue press! Did anyone pick up an extra copy they would like to pass on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
