t_k Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I didn't talk about influence, just what it sounds like for someone that's never heard this band before. I'm sure it sounds completely different for other people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it'll happen eventually, I just don't understand what's taking so long. This should've been repressed ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I think you want to follow this thread: Downward Is Heavenward Seems like Matt rejected the first TPs 2 years ago or more now, and got in the 2nd batch which he implied were acceptable. Then they did some shows, and then nothing on IG since. And wisely, no one bumped the thread linked above, which is being followed by 18 people, and I'm sure lurkers abound. I would bet he is just getting up the mental strength to do finish this major PITA. No telling how many more beers it will take. pepperonigin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also currently writing a new record, so their funds may be going toward that release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last I heard he had some left but still had to flatten them. He's definitely out of Electras though. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I actually shot an email to Matt about a month ago, the contact email addy on the label website doesn't work. He has responded to me before but has yet to respond to this email. My guess is that he is just super busy with other stuff that he just doesn't have a timeframe in mind on when it'll actually be ready to go for reasons already mentioned. More than anything I'm excited about this NEW album. Way stoked about that. The last I heard about OP of Astronaut and Electra was that he only had enough left for close friends and family, don't think he's selling anymore of them. I could be wrong though.

Shocked tbh, I got it a couple weeks ago expecting the worst just based on feedback on this pressing and the fact that splits almost always sound like dook. thabkfully it’s less of a half and half SPLIT and it’s more merrrrged together so there’s no noticeable sound floor differences as it tracks.

pepperonigin Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 My 180 black copy sounds fine as well. Glad to see this is being repressed for those who missed out. Fingers crossed it sounds good. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk99 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Do other stores pick these up? Everyone seems to shit on SRC, and if I can get this elsewhere I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 I have a weird transition color /10 or something like that from the first SRC pressing and it sounds perfectly fine to me. No issues with it at all. I may snag that Sea Glass color. I dig that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, slightly disengenuous pressing info. SRC didn’t do the original pressings. It is just SRC’s first pressing, which apparently the band weren’t too happy about.

Plarocks Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) I am quite happy with my original US black. However, if Matt is going to do an “audiophile” repress like the DIH re-issue, I will try to pre-order a “spare.” Love this album!
