It Still Moves Re-Issue

[oistheone]

Will be interesting to see how the new vinyl compares to the original. The re-press was notoriously shitty (one of the worst pressings EVER) but the original is sweet syrup to my pancake ears. Looking forward to some reports once people get their hands on it!

Also, I think this is a great move business-wise for the band. No better way to make a few new fans than to re-release your most accessible (and arguably, best) album.

Anybody want to buy my shitty re-press to help fund my purchase of this deluxe re-issue?   ;)

Hopefully mixing this album will inspire Jim to build another epic.

I did, got my email late last night.  I too will be leaving for Red ROcks friday and hope it doesn't just sit out side the entire time.

This is my exact thought too!  It'll end up getting delivered when I am in Denver and will sit on a sidewalk since I live in a Chicago apt. building with no real front door...little confused why they timed it this way, given the same hardcore fans traveling to Denver to see MMJ play would be the same fans to buy this reissue on preorder.....

How are they supposed to know if you're going to RR or not? If I have it right, it's Firebrand that controls the online merch (non-fan club) and WU that controls the ticket sales (and fan club merch). I seriously doubt they are in contact with each other about who is in the fan club and who isn't and who is going to Red Rocks and who isn't.

It appears to have leaked (at work so haven't tried downloading to verify), so those that are traveling can hopefully get themselves a copy to hold themselves over.

Obviously they would not actually know, that was not my point.  My point was it is quite obvious that the same group of people would be doing both things, meaning why would they time it so that it is being delivered the same weekend as a show that they know will draw people to travel for it....anyway it isn't a huge deal I think it is still a weird oversight to make.

Got my confirmation e-mail today. Ordered from Bullmoose Records. Can not wait to get this and put it on.

[MOWJO8185]

The demos are really cool to hear. Reverb city.

To say that it's an oversight would assume that it's something they should have been concerned about and I don't feel that way.  What about this?  Maybe they were extra thoughtful and decided to release it on that day so that those who can't make it to Red Rocks for whatever reason have something MMJ related to celebrate with this Memorial Day weekend.

My Morning Jacket
It Still Moves (Deluxe Reissue)
(ATO)
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

When older albums are reissued, the acts involved typically have little if any input into the process. Since they often don't own their masters, the labels are free to re-release the music in any way they feel will get fans to open their wallets again to purchase what they have already bought. Thankfully, that's not the case with My Morning Jacket and this revamped version of their landmark 2003 opus It Still Moves.

Frontman/singer/songwriter Jim James never felt the set was mixed to its fullest potential due to being rushed to get the band's first major label effort to market in the midst of a heavy touring schedule. He gets a rare second chance to correct that for this deluxe edition. Not only is the disc remixed, but it is remastered too and three tracks that didn't make the initial pressing— augmented with input from members of the current lineup — have been added. While those tunes, along with the often ragged, sometimes even distorted, predominantly acoustic demos of the 10 cuts, are far from essential, the freshly buffed audio of the original is well worth hearing.

My Morning Jacket prides itself on no two of their releases sounding the same. Still, from the sprawling majesty of opener "Mahgeetah" to the slow, sweet crawl of the heavenly nine minute "I Will Sing You Songs" and the dreamy drift of "Steam Engine," there is a swirling, timeless quality to It Still Moves that is still, well, moving. Jim James sings like he's possessed with an angelic spirit that makes the often inscrutable lyrics seem meaningful and the band plays with a tamped down rootsy synergy most outfits never find. The floating, often laconic yet stirring vibe running though the album is both emotional and visceral. At its most straightforward this is psychedelic country with blues and rock tinges, but it's much more delicate, discreet and indirect than those genres imply.     

The demos provide a fly-on-the-wall vantage point for how this music sounded in its earliest incarnation, but it's likely only diehard fans will play them more than once. Newly added selections "En La Ceremony" shifts from a tropicalia vibe to a funky bluesy groove and "Grab a Body" brings a horn section to add a bit of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes R&B to a mostly instrumental piece that doesn't seem to have a sense of where it's going.

The enhanced audio remixing/remastering makes this already milestone, if not quite career defining, work even better. It shows that James was right to return and try to improve on what was already close to perfection.

I know this one's a bit different, but every time there is a re-pressing I feel a little like this...
