They've pushed out so many DVDs by now they just don't care anymore.

Haven't listened to their recent releases but Uroboros and Vulgar were pretty sick <3

What even is this? It looks like he just drew a few Tim Burton-esque characters and made a website with merch on it featuring the characters? 

There's ton of Zemeckises merch available at sukekiyo shows and special events. They're quite adorable really! And I think Kyo is going to release a picture book with them next spring?

In commemoration of their indie days

Talking about the new three re recorded tracks,just hope that fukai goes like" The Final" re record.same structure but with their current production,and beautiful dirt sound like a violent deathmetal like the re record of Zan was. And The lllD empire I really don't know what to expect,just wanna get really surprised by this one

[Saishu 1589]

This being a best of collection makes me think they might not mess with the arrangements too much. They might just play them straight with maybe a few new additions here and there (I predict Die will add some sort of solo in Fukai), and the production will match Utafumi most likely. 

[Seelentau 884]

Fukai will at least have new lyrics.

[Saishu 1589]

Yeah, that seems likely. 

[Tokage 5930]

sure as fuck hope they don't just go the ''the final'' road because that was one of the most pointless remakes they ever did 

 

i dont even know what to expect from that beautiful dirt remake because i can barely remember the original

i didn't have a top 5 for worst sentences i've read on this forum,but for sure i can start with yours

The final and Kasumi  were good re records and if you didn't like them,the original ones will be always there.

Does someone here have a JEALOUS single with a barcode that ends in 35? I need some information for Discogs, but I have the re-release only :/

I do! What kind of information do you need?

[Saishu 1589]

Original versions of Kasumi and The Final are boring.

The following (the cat numbers are different, depending on where you take them from):

Cat.-Numbers on booklet's back, inlay back, plastic sleeve's back, on the CD itself and on the CD matrix:

Mastering SID Code: IFPI L???

Mould SID Code: IFPI ????

 

I think the best would be HQ photos so I can see for myself. Maybe you can help me out here as well? :]

You should get a turntable to spin that. I wonder how an analog pressing of Gauze would sound.

[Saishu 1589]

I can’t imagine it sounds much different since Gauze was most likely recorded digitally. 

[WhirlingBlack 1043]

Yes, it also didn't receive a specific mastering or mixing for analog, so I think one should view it more as a collectors item than something that would bring anything new to the table sound-wise. 

[blacktooth 227]

Have they ever done analog mastering? I wish they would. Their current stuff is so very digital.

[Saishu 1589]

They don’t even need to have analog mastering (though that would be cool), they just need to stop compressing everything so much. There’s no room for the instruments to breathe because the lack of dynamics just sort of mash everything together into BIG HEAVY NOISE. As much as I am a fan of the songwriting in Arche, I think it’s one of their worst sounding records.

My dude, turn on your location again. I just wanna talk and clear this out in person.

Turn on your location as well and get ready to TOOT DAT ASS UP.

[Ozileras10 371]

In my opinion the only good re-recording DEG ever did was the re-recording of Macabre

Bring it. Kasumi is one of the most generic 6/8 metal ballads I’ve ever heard. And I’m assuming the inexplicable high praise for The Final comes from it being one of the few real actual songs on WtD that doesn’t sound like mushy nu-metal rubbish.
