deafening Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 And I hate centered text for a list. But that's just my personal opinion. My exact immediate thought. Two columns aligned left would be my preference, but I'm not sure if odd numbers would throw that off. Three columns with five? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papercup Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 On another note, Armageddon Shop on Discogs just threw up some great deals on some classic post-rock LP's. I was able to pick up Deadhorse - We Can Create Our Own World (an album I've been casually hunting for a while) and Do Make Say Think - You, You're A History in Rust for $9.99 apiece. They've got & Yet & Yet up for $5.99. actually grabbed both of these without realizing you had mentioned it ITT. Both came yesterday and sound so so so so so good.

edgedestroys Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 And my only visual qualm is the list text. Doesn't match the rest. And I hate centered text for a list. But that's just my personal opinion. My favorite is the brush stroke on the title. Subtle, yet clean Nice work, man. Debated using serif or not and figured I'd try it to tie it in with the "as presented by" at the top (I have a thing for juxtaposing geometric sans fonts with serifs). I tried using different justifications and I agree centering looks weird but it seemed like the lesser of evils. Considering we have tiny little titles like "jakob - solace" vs GY!BE, it looks awkward no matter what haha. Either way I obviously still have the .psd saved so everything can be edited! Thanks! That font choice for the top text though. *kisses fingertips* You know me man haha, total typography junkie haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were definitely hoping to meet you on tour sometime after the Demo CD, but we understand life happens, the moves, etc etc (and the Euro tour thing). Can you at least load in the MCMXIII to discogs one day :blinkyblinky: ? My daughter still thinks the homemade CD covers Rachel made are great!

The Vool Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Well, I like that Deadhorse record, but considering it as one of the top 15 essential Post-Rock records? Not in a million years...don't get me wrong, the music is great...but everything on there has been done 10000x before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurazz Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Well seeing as you guys pretty much covered the top 15 essential Post-Rock albums, I figured I'd throw in a few gems that I have fallen in love with over the years (some might be a bit math-y/prog-y): 1. Powder! Go Away - Closer To Cold 2. Tides - Resurface 3. Barrows - Imprecari Island 4. Yodaka - Yodaka 5. Omega Massif - Geisterstadt 6. Irepress - Samus Octology 7. 7parsec - Red Comet 8. Tarentel – From Bone To Satellite 9. The Waters Deep Here - Sunden 10. Meniscus - Absence of I 11. Sleeping Bear - Sleeping Bear 12. Our Ceasing Voice - When the Headline Hit Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Finally gave that Deadhorse album a proper listen. No qualms at all about that making the top 15. Sure, it's a familiar sound, but it's executed extremely well. Lots of different feels going on there. Need to try & grab a copy of that somehow!

Gumbo72203 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 finally put my tie-breakers in haha. Been super fucking busy the last couple weeks with work, coaching, and family shit for the holidays. No time for the interboards. haha Been listening to Shy, Low "Hiraeth" a lot. Also got my copy of "It's Not Me, It's You!" in the mail, and it's scratched and noisy as fuck. It was insured though via the German post.... do you guys think I can file a claim? I'm trying to be civil about this, and I'm going to take it to get cleaned, but I spent a lot of money on this fucker and want to listen to it cleanly. Dude said it was NM who I bought it from...

How should German post be made responsible for a scratched and noisy record? Either, it was scratched before or it was packed shitty. In both cases it's the seller's fault...

But it's repeating everything that has been done before again and again.

edgedestroys Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 https://soundcloud.com/difficults not exactly post rock but I think most of you can probably get into it. my roommate just showed me this dude's music today and I'm really digging it. some glitchy electronic stuff on top of ambiance with occasional guitars. it's really good music to just space out to. If you like Hammock, Helios and older TWDY you'll probably be about it. I've been experimenting with adding field recordings to my own stuff (there's a lot in my new album I'm trying to wrap up) so I appreciate any relaxing music I find with that in it lately.

In both cases it's the seller's fault... Fair point. This is why I ask you guys, haha. It was packaged pretty good... outside of the jackets and everything. I think the discs slid out of the sleeves enough to get abrasions from the cardboard mailer, becuase they're all close to the edge of the discs. I'll have more time to inspect tomorrow. It just sucks because we settled outside of Discogs and I don't want to open a claim with paypal. The dude has been super responsive to emails and very easy to deal with. Is this just something I have to sit back and accept, people suck at grading and analyzing the condition of their stuff? Gonna take it to my record shop and have them clean and spin it, because I think my needle is fucked anyway which could be hurting the sound. I threw on Immortal's Sons of Northern Darkness the other day and it sounded like absolute dog shit. My friend was over, and I was embarrassed. Not sure what that was about.

omik11303 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'd definitely check to make sure it's not a cleaning issue or one with your setup, Gumbo. Like I said before, the copy that I have is sonically flawless. Hopefully you'll be able to get it straightened out. It's definitely an album that deserves to be listened to in its proper format. Is this just something I have to sit back and accept, people suck at grading and analyzing the condition of their stuff? This is why, for all records that I think I'm really going to treasure, I ask for pictures. I'm not going to care as much if it's just something I'm picking up for $15ppd, but if I'm dropping some serious change, it's nice to have at least some kind of visual so I know what I'm buying. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my two cents. Yeah I actually just picked up a new Shure stylus today, haven't gotten a chance to spin anything with it yet but I'm hoping that helps. My old was definitely worn out from being used a lot for the past 5 years and never replaced. But yeah, the thing has scratches and was noisy as fuck. Hoping the VPI at my local record shop can fix it. Also gotta get my copy of Hiraeth cleaned. Good lord, that thing is a sand trap. Never seen anything like that before ever...

edgedestroys Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Finally wrapping up writing for the album I've been working on since July 2014 and freaking dang it's a relief to finally be close to releasing it. Once I wrap up the mixing on it I might throw it in a zip and drop a link if anyone would be into checking it out before I officially release it.
