The Mars Volta - The Mars Volta (September 16, 2022) Album • Page 14

It took me a minute but I found just the shirts

The Mars Volta Merch | Clouds Hill US

 

They did have black T-shirts at the bottom of the page I’m sure.

 

Nice, thanks!

 

All sold out of larges and x larges for the designs I was interested in. Ah well.

 

Picked up Deloused/Frances/Bedlam

these were so pricey but I had to pull the trigger

 

I picked up the Frances the mute green and the tremulant ringer tee. I then decided I wanted the deloused tshirt but by then they were sold out of medium. Haha

 

Did you manage to grab one?

 

I'm holding out to see if these pop up elsewhere for more reasonable prices. I want them, but not that much.

 

yeah I got the glitter shirt and the Jones one. I think they’re restocking today as well.

 

Yesssss. Saw Antemasque was getting some bonus tracks in there if anyone hasn’t heard them before.

 

Really curious how they're gonna do Omars solo albums on vinyl. Hopefully in waves because I have to eat

 

Wondering the same thing. There’s no way I can afford sixty albums, I’ll just buy the essentials if necessary. Cryptomnesia is a must

 

Looks like De Facto is up too

 

Listening to Cryptomnesia for the first time rn and wow this has huge Amputechture vibes. Loving this.

 

It's so good

 

My recs of his best solo albums (chronologically) if anyone is overwhelmed.

Omar - Se Dice Bufalo
Omar - Apocalypse Inside An Orange
Omar - Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fungus
Omar - Old Money
Omar - Megaritual
El Groupo Nuevo - Cryptomnesia
Omar - Xenophanes
Omar - Solar Gambling
Antemasque - s/t

 

Completely forgot about Mantra Hiroshima (aka the other Zach Hill album) so that's been fun to rediscover

 

Volta vinyl remasters sound amazing - highly recommended

 

I'd like to get Deloused but any single vinyl above $70 is just absurdity to me. I'll wait till the price drops

 

@OotyPa These just went on pre-order.

 

ORDERED.

 

I wish I could hear them digitally, but I understand the legal reason I can't

 

Are the new pressings mastered a lot differently than the original CDs? Almost all the TMV records are compressed and clipped to hell, so it wouldn't be hard to get a vast improvement, provided they still have the original tapes/tracks.

Sadly, I've seen commentary where people suspect the CD masters were used to press the $400 box set, lol... and it wouldn't shock me at all.

 

The new vinyl releases have completely new mastering and mixing from the original CD releases, there's an interview posted somewhere in this thread where Omar goes very deep into how much work they put into these new releases
