Gumbo72203 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'll have to check the Brine one out, I'm not too familiar with that variant. My favorite was always the /200 clear with green splatter. Picked it up from Morfiend some months ago. Previously I had been stuck with a bland black... not sure which press though. I have the remaster in the giant gatefold too, but I am not fond of the sound of that record. I keep thinking I want to sell it, but I have a hard time coping with the idea of selling anything Isis haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coreystevens88 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Brine is definitely my favorite LOOKING variant, no question. Now I'm just looking for the best SOUNDING pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Woah, that brine is absolutely sick-looking. I may have to track that down some day.... Matt, what was the one that you posted? It looks very, very familiar. On a similar note, musically.... I spun my copy of "In Abstraction" by A Hope For Home today. This album is SO good. They mix Isis with Rosetta and some other post-rock tendencies with a little bit of post-hardcore. It's a neat mix, I like it a lot. Spacey, heavy, trippy, crushing, and soaring. Here's a couple tunes to give you an idea of their sound: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm just looking for the best SOUNDING pressing. There are a lot of good sounding pressings - seku could probably tell you the BEST since he has 25 pressings, US and Euro One thing I know: the RM Oceanic and Panopticon from RE, both had a lot of grit on one disc in each album. And they are translucent, not hazed records, leading me to believe that there was haze grit leftover from a previous run, and I got lucky with some of the first presses off the run. So my RM have surface noise on one disc which is distracting This one looks and sounds just fine, but again, I play the Clear/Clear that I got from Morfiend for cheap (he had the discs without a jacket, and RE was selling Oceanic jackets for $5 and sometimes using them as cushions, so I'm happy about that).

Gumbo72203 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Totally off-topic about Isis but I just have to interject.... this song does not ever fucking disappoint. I cannot get over how incredible it is. The pairing is perfect, really.... with Absence following. It's all one big piece of music, flowing into one another. But "Presence".... mannnnn, this song makes me feel like I'm going to burst inside. That climax.... https://shylowmusic.bandcamp.com/track/presence or Edited July 25, 2016 by Gumbo72203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Binary Opposition is a nice EP, but for me (and I say it every time the album is mentioned), the bonus track Voyager owns the other 2 hands down. And saves the album from the dust bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And saves the album from the dust bin. It's so funny you say that, because I couldn't have a more opposite opinion. Well... I suppose I should clarify that. Voyager doesn't pick up and really "get there" for me until that ending section. It's certainly a fine song, and more in line with what they offered on Hiraeth, sort of, with the thumping bass grooves. But "Presence" is it's own magnificent beast.... truly a perfect song for me. It's linear ascent to that bombastic, emotional peak couldn't have been any more perfectly orchestrated. The melodies they create in the early part of the song just hit me in such a way that not much else does. And it all leads to that tear-jerking finale segment. I could go on forever about this song. On a different note, my package from Elusive Sound came today with those /100 variants of Glasir's "Unborn" EP. WOWWWW man. Wow. Worth every dollar, for me. The vinyl is absolutely glorious to look at, and everything is so well-made packaging-wise. And Philippe shipped them in poly-lined inners to save the printed-inner from seamsplits in transit. First class, all the way. Pictures to come later when I have some time.... these guys are glorious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew, finally our ears diverge ...that was getting scary! I guess you could say we're in binary opposition on this album Plus, I got to see them play this material live several times, before the Binary EP was fully formed into the final product, and vocals were prominent in most of their tracks (bassist peformed the vocals, and was excellent, as is their drummer).

I saw them so long ago they weren't even post rock. Some were in Vessel, some were in Plagues of a Human Race. Both were shitty metalcore of sorts. Haha. All nice dudes though. I took both of the first in Nov. 2007, then the second exactly one year later. Man, what a shit time for music, but perfectly matched with my shit photo skills zero - one year in before I knew any better. Haha.

Haha yeah man, Voyager just doesn't really do that much for me, but "Presence" is probably.... probably in my top 5 post-rock songs. It gives me feelings that not many other songs do. When you saw them do this material, was "Presence" included? I'm curious what kind of vocals would have been put over something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great sound, and it's nice seeing so many people freaking out. The setlist is great, too, although missing some other heavy hitters like Lift and Je N'en Connais Pas Le Temps. Which leads me to this FANTASTIC find I made last night -> Soundboard audio!!!!!! Multi-camera shooting! Listen to BJ's drums, man. They sound so good. 19 hours ago, Dave Grohl said: Gates Vasudeva Athletics Rare Futures Mercury Lounge | Sept. 3 | NYC Oh yes. Except Athletics is opening, apparently. The venue site says they go on at 7. I can't freaking wait, though. Gates is doing a proper headline set, and playing stuff from every release. I finally might get my "To Those Who Fell.....and to those who carried on" segment. And I REALLY hope they play "Left Behind" from the new album.
