Fair, but I'm sure there will be another repress. So if anyone can do a comparison between the OG 45rpm press, and this new 45rpm repress, let us know.

Billich0986 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Scooped up the moon phase variant. I didn't see anyone report on the quality difference between the OG press and this new pressing, so when I get a chance to compare, I'll report back.

dapeebs Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Glad to see these getting repressed! I did not like post Planet of Ice albums for the longest but I have just started recently listening to Infinity Overhead and my god has my opinion changed. That album is right up there with Planet of Ice and Menos el Oso. Edited June 9, 2021 by dapeebs highfives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went with a more "party" vibe after Planet of Ice. I still only like half of Omni and really haven't warmed up to VOIDS, but Infinity Overhead is awesome. It mixes their old style so well with the newer sound. Edited June 9, 2021 by dapeebs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDonals Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Those look awesome, and that price is nice! Ordered them. I liked these all when they came out, but definitely put them in a lower category than MEO and POI. Perhaps not fair, and I can't wait to get these (in AUGUST) and binge them.

Billich0986 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 TL:DR - The latest 45rpm repress is the best sounding, in my opinion. Hope this may or may not help anyone on the fence about getting this latest pressing. With the wife out of town, I finally got a chance to compare the OG press with the 33rpm press and the latest 45rpm repress. Disclaimer: This is the opinion of one person, and I won't claim to be some audiophile. This is just based on my ears, which may not be the greatest anyway. Setup: Pro-Ject Classic Evo w/Sumiko Amethyst; Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier; Focal Aria 936 speakers Test track (listened to multiple times swapping between all pressings): Part 2 I'll start with the 33rpm press. This was the worst sounding, and it wasn't honestly that bad. Basically, it sounded like all the instruments were in a tunnel stacked on top of one another. That doesn't mean there was echo or a tunnel-like sound, but simply everything was placed directly in front of you, with no separation. Despite this, everything sounded relatively clear. Next, the 45rpm OG press. As soon as I put this on, I could hear the difference. There was a stage. Everything was spread out and clear. I enjoyed the extra depth it provided. But maybe too spread out? Lastly, it felt a bit bombastic when everything kicked in midway through. (Go listen to the track and you'll know the part I'm talking about. Sorry for the poor articulation.) Last, the latest 45rpm repress. What makes it better? Basically, it takes the separation and hones in instruments and sounds, along with providing additional clarity on certain instruments. Some instruments like the acoustic guitar are front and center, while the electric sounds off to the sides. It's this added detail and focus that puts this in the top spot for me. With all of that said, unless you have a system capable of that kind of detail, I'm not sure you'd hear a difference between the OG press and the latest repress. Again, all just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. toxicity, highfives, whoa and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewreal Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Sorry to bump this but I just snagged a half neon/half white and noticed my "Side B" Is labeled "Side C" but has the right tracks listed on it (White Mystery, Dr. & Part 2) Wondering if anyone else's is like that?
