The vinyl-fetishism virus continues to spread. British black-circle-spinners can feel pretty good about themselves ,because Fat Cat records is about to reissue two Sigur Rós albums on 180-gram DMM vinyl in the UK. On March 9, the label will release big, luxurious vinyl remasters of 1999's Ágætis Bryjun and 2002's ( ). The Fat Cat people did the Direct Metal Mastering at Abbey Road Studios, and they're pulling out all the packaging stops for these joints: silver ink on heavyweight uncoated blue card for Ágætis Bryjun, heavyweight outer sleeve with die cut ( ) shape showing through to four interchangeable inner sleeves for ( ). I don't really know what any of that even means, but it sounds awesome. By the looks of things, people are going to spend as much time lovingly carressing these records as they are listening to them. Those reissues will only be available in the UK or from the Fat Cat UK web page. But American listeners aren't entirely shit out of luck. Fat Cat is planning similarly deluxe American vinyl reissues of a couple of their other recent classics. No release date on these yet, but Animal Collective's 2004 album Sung Tongs and Max Richter's 2004 album The Blue Notebooks will soon get the full 180-gram DMM treatment. Fat Cat tells us to expect spring 2009 release dates for both.
