According to Translation Loss new plates will be used for the new pressing (DS for sure, didn't ask about TQPOE and Crimea) so hopefully we finally have great sounding copies of the album, it definitely deserves the treatment. thanks for the info, this makes me really glad I didn't cave on previous pressings fizio59 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three cheers for you for finding this out! I just spun my tour splatter last night, and it is awful, unfortunately. Total rice crispies. There's one weird part too towards the end of David Shaw where as the music gets more intense, the rice crispy noise also gets more intense, and then subsides once the music dips down. Very strange phenomena. It's a distraction to listen to A Gallant Gentleman, for instance, because the calm of that intro and the pensive suspense is broken by the constant fuzz of clicks and noise. It still sounds fucking incredible once the music comes in, but I wish it were quiet. Hopefully this solves the problem! Do you guys know what causes this to begin with? Is it just a poor molding, or can the stampers get dirty and literally just press a poor-quality noisy record? Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Just got my Translation Loss represses! TQPOE clear splatter is soooooo dirty. It came from the damn desert. Will need to clean the hell out of this and get new inner sleeves. You can feel the grit without even taking the records out of the sleeves lol. Departure Songs clear splatter though.... holy fuuuuck this sounds AMAZING. Finally, a good playing copy! Man, this sounds incredible! The noise floor is still a little higher than I'd like on A Gallant Gentleman, because I crank it on that intro and so I hear a lot of static (which might be my system TBH, I have a new receiver I've yet to set up) but that might change. No pops or clicks really though! Last Dive of David Shaw just finished and it's fantastic. So clear and full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So clear and full. fully agreed on what you said about DS, there were a couple hits of noise here and there but definitely nothing that disrupted my listening experience. overall they did a great job, though my actual variant came out kinda messy-looking in appareance (absolutely nothing like the mock-up), the huge slab of black really prevents all the pretty splatter colors from bleeding through, just a cosmetic complaint though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Finally getting around to spinning my AUS coke bottle green/bone splatter variant. WOW! Oh man, finally... a variant that is quiet! This is a wonderful experience. Although of course karma comes in and gives me a scratch segment at the end of Gallant Gentleman. But the noise floor on this variant is so low, and so quiet. That could be from my sliding the records out of the paper sleeves though, because for whatever reason they are loaded with grit like haze records are. I was super careful, but I always wonder whether it's unavoidable when you've got a lot of particles in the sleeve from manufacturing. Still though, this sounds so fucking badass. Worth the $60 I dropped, easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantdance Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Thank you!! I had to sell my bone white copy of departure songs when I was having some financial troubles and I vowed that I would buy it again whenever it was reissued. This made my day!

Gumbo72203 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 There's a coding error for Departure Songs, it's actually cheaper when you check out. I'm sure it'll get changed soon, but if you want to get it for only 29.75eu instead of 36eu, act quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, every record of there's I've put in the cart has showed less when getting to the checkout screen. Not sure if they are running some unannounced sale or something? very strange but awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally you would have to pay tax in your country upon arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha4281 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Also wanted to throw it out there that their bandcamp has a band exclusive variant of this. The conversion from Dunk's total (with the price glitch) shipped to me here in NY was $54.77. The conversion from their bandcamp a total of $50.72. Dunk has it listed on their page that they cant ship outside the EU right now. Anyone know if Australia has similar shipping restrictions in place right now?

Gumbo72203 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I messaged Dunk, and yes... this is because of VAT taxes. They put the price up that includes the VAT, but when you go to check out if you aren't from Europe it removes it. I guess it removes the sting when you go to check out and see another 9euros added on to your price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethereal Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 bandcamp version came to $49 shipped to CA for me. Excited to see the new extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
