jblahmaster Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Would it be better to buy all the recent DMM represses of their albums or get the " In Frozen Sea" Box set? I've heard the boxset's vinyl are flimsy and warp easily, but the packaging looks so beautiful. Again, it may seem like a pointless thread, but I've always wondered on what exactly to buy.

000000 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 i have the boxset and i dont think they're that flimsy, and none of mine have warped yet haha. I chose the boxset because it was cheaper than buying the three albums seperate (at the time). if it's cheaper to buy them separately i would, but the boxset is still wonderful to have if you especially want the new art.

Guest Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 back when that set came out, my girlfriend at the time told me she considered getting it for me for my birthday. i really dont remember what she got instead, so im gonna say she should have gone with the set. but she did buy me a first press of ( ) about 5 years ago.

jblahmaster Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks you guys. I think i'll just buy the boxset after all, considering i do want the new art it comes with. Also because inevitably it is cheaper to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingnatural Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just say fuck it, buy the OGs, the reissues and the box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblahmaster Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just say fuck it, buy the OGs, the reissues and the box set. Eventually i'll do this haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 i have the OGs presses of all the albums, the box set, and the reissue of Takk. based on comparing the versions of Takk, i would recommend getting the reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentoage Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 the boxset sounds like shit. i'd go w/ the re-issues. i've listened to all three versions and the dmm copies sounds the best, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcielo Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Why is this so hard for me to believe. I just bought this off of that website and it came out to about $30. The actual boxset is sold out, so what's this cheaper one? Edit: I should have read more into it. I emailed them seeing if they could refund it. :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentoage Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 it's worth every one of the $40-$50 you'll end up paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'm surprised the box set hasn't sold out yet. They made 5,000 copies of a $150 vinyl box set of a semi-obscure Icelandic band. Shocking they still have them in stock. What's odd is that I can't find their outrageously overpriced Pixies box set on the site anymore. Maybe they were embarrassed of themselves and removed it?

llamason56 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 go with the represses. they sound amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblahmaster Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Well, shit i guess it did sell out. Initially, i was able to add to a cart somewhere else on the site just to see if it worked, but now i know for sure. Most likely go with the represses as every box set I've seen else where is way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblahmaster Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 The first one i'm looking to get is "Ágætis byrjun" first as that's my favorite album by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
