2814 – Rain Temple

My copy turned up today - anyone had any problems with scratches and any other issues in relation to the plastic insleeves? My sleeves are folded in and the vinyl (both A/B and C/D) stick out - outside in the insleeves. Just curious.

Side B ends with an apparently unlisted ambient track that runs for nearly 4 minutes after 'Guided by Love.' This track does not appear on the digital version of the album, as "Guided By Love" segues seamlessly into "Transference"

The pressing plant has had an issue and therefore there will be no black vinyl edition (according to Dream Catalogue).

It's a nice album but pretty disappointed with the overall packaging considering it was almost £30. Paid much less for the debut and it was in much better sleeves and had a nice glossy and heavy gatefold.

The sleeves in this are like plastic bags and the cover is thin and really quite shoddy.

REVIEW
The album, of course, is pretty good as you would expect from two of the best vaporwave/vaporambient producers in the game. HOWEVER, the vinyl is pretty mediocre. There are two reasons that this isn't the best record

First of all, the album is cardboard. It's texture is way different from any other record that I own. You can hardly read the side of the record. On the top of my copy, there is small rips. It was like this when it arrived.

Secondly, the sleeves for the records themselves are like record sleeves. Not paper ones like 新しい日の誕生, but plastic sleeves. They are shipped on the side so the record can come out, and it is difficult to put it in any other way. With the first record, the sleeve pops out of the packaging. It looks lame.

I'd probably give this record a 3/5.

bought mine right when it went up because i actually like this band, scalpers can eat it

The music is great of course but the record comes in gross thick PVC inner sleeves. I'm swapping mine out for ones less likely to scratch the vinyl.

Every now and then, I just have to say that digital is just fine. Eff scalpers forever. They have ruined this band's records.

discogs at its worse, £80 for a record that was released a few days ago

The Vinyl is sold out.
I`ve never seen such a run for a Vinyl on Bandcamp.
