Sweetness!

Terria vinyl? safe!

Wow, takes a post about Vinyl to get all the old timers to come outta the woodwork here. Interesting

Ocean Machine vinyl - done.

I love vinyl. There's something about the big artwork and the vinyl itself, its so much more than a cd. Gonna be very poor once all these get released... I think Ki and Infinity are must haves though. Probably Terria and Ziltoid too. Probably all of them. GAH!

Time to start sourcing a good turntable, then.

I'll start saving now, as I'm going to have to buy the lot!

Yet another way for you to get my money, Dev! I've always wanted this stuff on Vinyl.

I will buy every single one of them.

Damn you.

Also its sweet that a UK company is doing all but two of them, hopefully save a buttload on shipping.

PS i cant wait to get the ocean machines artwork at vinyl size.

i might just frame that bad boy.

I was all about vinyl about a year ago, and now I'm jaded. Many of the vinyl reissues of old albums are being mastered in such a way that it acutally ends up sounding thinner than it did before on CD, and this just shouldn't be the case. For example, the reissues of Megadeth's old records, Primus' Frizzle Fry, and Metallica's reissues all sounded terrible compared to the original CDs. Thin, little bass response...on the other hand, Metallica's Black Album reissue and the deluxe edition of Mastodon's Crack the Skye were mastered at Bernie Grundman Studios and both are the best sounding albums I own on any format.

Even Primus' "Animals Should Not Try..." which was pressed half speed at Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, a notoriously good vinyl company, sounded weak and thin compared to the regular CD.

Vinyl is a REAL gamble, because it all depends on how good the person mastering it is. Too many labels are eager to cash in on the resurgence of vinyl and too many shitty mastering jobs are being done. I just don't know how much money I can justify spending on such a gamble.

Sorry to be the rotten egg in the thread, I have hopes for these reissues but I'm just a bit worried is all.

The whole vinyl sounds better than a cd argument is a hoax. If I buy vinyl then it's only for the huge artwork.

Up to Black everything originally came out on vinyl.

I love this statement. Absolutely love it, because it's true.

This news still excites me. Hope the transfer to vinyl sounds good, as I'm sure it will. Addicted will blow brains on vinyl and so will Ocean Machine. Oh, and Ziltoid.

Stuff recorded analogously is the only thing that can hold up for vinyl. Torche's Meanderthal shakes the walls on vinyl. well.... even from my lappy it shakes the walls but still...
