Explosion In The Sky - How Strange Innocence Reissue + The Rescue (First Time On Vinyl)


Recommended Posts

So glad to finally get a chance at owning this on vinyl. Snagged a light & dark colored copy real quick - overall this isn't my favorite Explosions album but it has some great tracks on it.

 

+1 to those suggesting Bandcamp! I had a black copy in my cart (which would be really no different and even cheaper, but... the hobby!) from the top link posted before I took a look through the rest of the thread.

 

Edit: And then shamelessly went back to buy The Rescue after listening to it and remembering how much I liked some of those songs - quite raw but well crafted for the most part.

The songs seem even more well crafted when you consider each was written and recorded in one day.  Plus the story behind the album is pretty cool.

Got these in today, they look amazing. But...is anyone else's copy of How Strange, Innocence just two dark blue records? Barely any splatter or colour mix. I thought it was one dark, one light blue but I guess I misunderstood the description. 

Either way, super happy to finally have these in my collection!

My A/B side is a pretty standard blue marble, but C/D is like the latest eluvium record, but a lighter blueish clear. Looks really cool.

My copy looks exactly like the mockup on the Temporary Residence website. A/B is light blue marble, C/D is dark blue marble. Great packaging I must say, I'm impressed, the etching on side D is a nice touch.
