I'm curious to know if for this new wave of shipments, the correction made to "Free Floating Anxiety" digital version was also made on the vinyl, which would be justified this delay.

My copy has arrived just now, haven't been able to give it a spin yet, might take some time admittedly.
But the new batches are starting to arrive for people!

Or you can order it here:

They have it since release date and they shipping fast.

Looks like the album got a release on streaming services:

They fixed the abrupt cutoff at the end of "Free Floating Anxiety". Unfortunately, the first batch of vinyl pressings had this issue, as did the initial digital releases.

Unfortunately they didn't fix the distortion on the track.

What I think is that the original master tapes for this album are no longer available, and that they probably had to rely on a vinyl-sourced copy to carry out the restoration and remastering. I suspect this because, for the 2023 reissue of Les Granges Brûlées, Transversales explicitly stated “Remastered From the Original Master Tapes,” whereas for Deserted Palace they only wrote “Audio Restored & Remastered.” That difference in wording strongly suggests they worked from a different and likely inferior source. The audible clicks and slight distortion also point in that direction; I don’t believe those issues were present on the original master tapes.

You can now pre-order the Library edition from Transversales:


release March 20

I see it's limited to 250 copies and it includes the original cue sheet.

Ordered. Unfortunately, Free Floating Anxiety is still distorted.

17 copies left...

Have zero need for it... So, of course I got the very last copy
