  • Vol 2 Vinyl even more images
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Even more images that can't fit in the 5 photo limit. The album looks great in nature, what can I say, although I should have taken the photos when it was brighter out.

  • Photos extra bonus round pt 710
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Bandcamp really needs to let you add more than 5 photos per listing, that's not enough to show off the record properly. Well, for me anyway.

  • and they don't stop coming...
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    What's this about? Spoiler alert: Even more photos! The photos show off what it looks like well enough, but note that they look way nicer in person.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Vol 2 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

  • Last photos
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The last photos, these covers may have very slight indents from shipping to me/ manufacturing, see these two photos for examples. These will be packaged extremely well to prevent any shipping damage from occurring, they will be shipped outside of the sleeve, and none of the records have any seam splits (they were shipped to me outside of the sleeve)

    Also see in the photos the type of record mailers I'm using and a bubble wrap roll.

  • Vol 2 Test Pressing
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    LIMIT: 1 PER CUSTOMER. If you buy more than one, you will get only one and will be refunded for the extras minus the PayPal fees. You CAN buy this and the normal colored record, just not 2 copies of the test pressing.

    Only 5 black vinyl test pressings were made, and only 2 are available for sale (two others are kept by the artist and label and will never be sold) The last one will be kept and sold in the future when I have international shipping available, so a non US person has a chance at it (although US buyers could still buy this copy, it would be first come first serve) This is technically the best sounding audiophile version of the record, as the colored vinyl does have slight surface noise as is typical with colored vinyl (though not bad at all) They come in poly-lined inner sleeves and resealable outer jackets.

    Will also come with various bonus items, some which you may quite like. Including a sealed vaporwave or synthwave record from a popular artist (may have a minor corner ding or two) Since the price is higher than the normal pressing due to only 5 copies being made we want the buyer to get some cool extra items to help get their moneys worth. I can't promise you'd like them but I'll certainly try to put two neat packages together, there's lots of empty space in the record mailers I'm using as they can fit quite a bit of things in them.

    Like the non test pressings, the sleeves may have slight corner dings from shipping to me. They are technically generic sleeves, but still wanted to mention it.

    This has a cheaper shipping cost vs the normal pressing, since the price is higher for the test pressings.

  • Sky Blue / Pink / Mint vinyl with Obi Strip
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    See more images in the "sold out" listings below, bandcamp only let me add 5 photos per listing which was not enough to show off the record properly so I made a bunch of extra ones.

    LIMIT 2 PER CUSTOMER, if you buy more than 2 you will only get 2 and I'll refund you the rest minus the PayPal fee. Will be packaged extremely well in (similar to whiplash mailer) mailers with big corner protection pieces and bubble wrapped.

    Only available during this Bandcamp Friday 8/4. If any copies are unsold, they will be sold on future Bandcamp Fridays. I bought these for $23 each shipped wholesale, since such a small run is expensive, I'm literally not making any money off these once you take the Paypal fees, packaging costs (media mail keeps going up and the mailer and packaging prices and such), and therefore I can't sell them on non Bandcamp Fridays without increasing the price, which I'd rather not do. Which is fine, since this album was released for fun not to profit.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: US copies ONLY. Hence the absurd international shipping cost, do not actually pay those costs. There will be copies for non United States buyers added to Qrates soon, so please be patient and you will have your chance to get a copy, there should be enough for most people that want one as long as you are subscribed to the bandcamp mailing list as I will be notifying about them there. Qrates has much cheaper international shipping then what I could do anyway, the shipping costs just keep going up and up and up...

    ALSO NOTE: these covers may have very slight indents from shipping to me/ manufacturing, see the two photos in the "last photos" section for examples.

    A small amount of Vol 2 vinyl overstock. This album features 10 new bonus tracks, listen to the test pressing rip here if you want to hear all the bonus tracks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoCiMGAWkjw


    Record features: Glossy cover, obi strip, black poly-lined inner sleeve, full spine with printing (some Qrates records don't have spines but this one does), gorgeous summery tri-colored vinyl, remastered for vinyl, 10 bonus tracks, and with a unique vinyl design.

    Includes special new vinyl exclusive album art painstakingly plunder designed over hundreds of hours by Floristic Regions and Occasionally Tapes, the exotic/ vacation/ anime themed designs look amazing in person, we are really happy with how they came out even though there was too much effort and time spent on it, and not to toot our own horn, think it is just about the coolest looking vaporwave cover design on vinyl in existence, at least, we haven't seen a nicer looking one.

    The 10 bonus tracks go with the same vibe as the original album, but with more VGM samples, including some from some of Floristic Regions favorite games, you can consider the last 8 bonus tracks to be an EP in their own right, and those 8 bonus tracks were what the new art designs were based around. Some of the images on the design directly relate to music that was sampled, others were just used because they looked nice.

    The album was painstakedly remastered to sound great on the format, lots of time was spent on it, we hope you think it will sound great. Note that due to being a colored record it does have a little more noise than the black vinyl test pressing rip that you can hear in the link above, but it shouldn't be an issue unless you are super picky about that and they still sound great in my opinion, the remaster sounds a lot better than the original albums master, I really did a lot to improve the master, with a cleaned up less murky low mid range, more noticeable high end, (extremely slight) compression to help tame some of the parts with too much variation in the peaks, manual automation clip volume adjustments when the filter sweeps got too loud on one track (Rubiaceae), specific eq on certain tracks to enhance it, hours spent getting the original album tracks to flow properly into each other for a continuous
    mix without silence gaps, etc. I probably listened to the full album 30 times when remastering it, constantly tweaking parts until they were done just the way I wanted them to be. It's as much as a remix as a remaster, a lot more was done with it then just the typical things you would do normally for a vinyl master.
