Likes: The one I heard wasn’t mono, it was just hard panned into one ear. Unless I’m mixing it up with something else. I remember time machines live starts off a little like that too until the first synth wine pans across the field

A lot of the loops etc. are hard panned in songs like Tunnel of Goats, but the vocal will be center, that kind of thing. "Higher Beings Command" should open very much in stereo, though.
And I doubt the panning will be changed, but you never know.

I’m far from an expert but I think hard panning is difficult to actually press to vinyl. I just did a cursory search to back that up, I found one quote: “ Avoid hard panning to the left or right, especially loud transients (tom drums, etc.) This usually creates phase issues, which in turn can lead to skips on the finished record. Normal panning is totally fine, but just avoid any extremes.”

Whether what we’re talking about is extreme or not I dunno. We’ll see!

From Gibby Miller, on Facebook:
Regarding Constant Shallowness - a small portion of this release was accidentally announced and sold early, and was an honest mistake on our side. We will have more information to share about this project (and more!) very soon -- Do not worry, nothing is sold out -- and we are excited to provide more news shortly. Keep your eyes out for July 5th.....

Did anyone do a comparison of the audio of MTPITD2 once it was finally out? I haven't got around to it. And I've lost my download code too :/

"[Tunnel of Goats] throbs, thrashes, and flatlines in compressed frenzies of twisted synthesis, at the threshold of some bottomless purgatory, forbidding and unknown."
Yeah, pretty much, Can't wait to listen to this once, all the way through, and then never again...

Does this mean remastered? More music? Tunnel of Goats is about a minute longer, it seems.restored & expanded by Thighpaulsandra (Spiritualized, Julian Cope) & DAIS Records

Woo there we go. International pre-order links at https://found.ee/ConstantShallowness
Of the DAIS variants, I like green-in-clear. All the other retailers (Bandcamp excepting, who, I think are just fronting DAIS stock?) are only offering clear or black.
Not sure if anyone except DAIS is offering the lenticular jacket which looks really cool
pronouns: she/they
managed to snag the most limited variant on DAIS (happened to check my email at the right time; i had no idea this was coming out)
has anyone grabbed the new selvaggina from thighpaulsandra's website?
Impudent strumpet!
The durations are nearly identical (+1.2 seconds; given that this new mix is 1 track instead of 18, the duration difference is negligable):
"Tunnel of Goats I–XVI" is 26:29
"Tunnel of Goats XVII" is 00:51 (no audio)
"Tunnel of Goats XVIII" is 00:17
