lethalenforcer Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 That IG is a UK distro. They’re both EU Indie store variants. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I got my velvet smoke copy in yesterday, and it's appropriately smokey for sure. Also, this album fucking rips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is weird, cuz they usually send one almost immediately, sometimes weeks before they actually get anything in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swazzyswess Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Anyone have any quality issues? There's a thread on reddit with a lot of people saying they're having the same issues as were present with Orc; namely, a lot of popping and even skipping/needle bouncing at the beginning of each side of the record. I haven't listened to my copy yet, but I had this happen with *two* copies of Orc until I got one that had no defects.... kind of annoying.

I didn't have that issue at all with Orc, that said there did seem to be some of that fine grit that appears from time to time with different variants. Cleaned and put in a new inner and have never had any noticeable problems. Smote just arrived last night for me though, and I didn't have a chance to spin it.

Sorry, I should have taken some PTO from work so I could get home and listen to it ASAP. I will try not to annoy you in the future. aopps42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

struckanerve Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Oof, yea both of my discs are pretty bad. Highest I've had to go with the counterweight for any record and thankfully was able to cleanly play. That needle is movin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It’s a real bummer. I wish they wouldn’t use Pirate/CZ any more. They should use MPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a couple versions. With quality control seemingly going out the window, I should probably just get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeCeCe Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Good to see the reissues of Island Raiders, Grave Blockers & Foggy Notion all officially pictured as coming soon in the castleface booklet inside Smote Andrew_VB and OneThreeOneTwo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This album's a weird one - doesn't flow all that well for me right now and I really dislike the overlong jazzy rock jam "Anthemic Aggressor" in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbesthecat Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think that is more kraut rock vs jazz maybe im splitting hairs thoug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
