YesAsia must be located within the twilight zone, because I got my copy of KSK from them years ago, and it was second-press.
Maybe they have this hoard of CDs of mixed pressings, and since they make no distinction about pressings, they just grab a random copy off of the warehouse shelf when you place your order, and that's what you receive.

The message inside the sticker is something from Ringo like, "How do you like me using a sticker as an extra good? Cool, huh??" or something. It was actually one of the first things I ever posted to Ringo Jihen XDD I asked my friend to translate... hahah. It's not super important so go ahead and use the sticker for whatever you want~

I just ripped a Mozart album the other day - some of it piano solos, some of it symphonies, etc., and WavPack scrunched that from the raw 1411kbps that all CDs have, to an average of around 500kbps. On the other hand, WavPack couldn't squeeze KSK below an average of 969kbps. This reflects the level of sonic complexity in the music, and MP3 can only try to do that justice at 320kbps. Listening to lossless is the same as listening directly to the CD - an algorithm didn't decide which details of the music were more or less audible, and then throw the less audible details away. The people who barely understand that MP3 "throws detail away" at all, assume that it is only discarding the subsonic or supersonic frequences that humans can't hear. Not entirely true. Even on the frequencies you can audibly pinpoint, MP3 and other 'lossy' formats rob the music of a certain amount of texture, as if a curtain has been added between you and the performance. [/audiophile] As for buying Muzai Moratorium, all the threads in this board have links to vendors who ship internationally, and not just the ones who have Affiliate programs. So all the work of tracking down retailers, has already been done for you.

@Glathannus
I just recently found out about lossless audio formats. I am kinda sorry that it took me so long. J-pop suki taught me, I was uploading a tsushimamire torrent, and I did some wikipedia'in, and I learned a lot. Anyways, I just got back from japan. I went on searches for used cds. I was lucky enough to score some cheap ringo cds. I wish I had more money, I only got ss and ksk. But the cases are friggin awsome. But pretty soon I will be ripping some flacs from my cds I just bought. But I have no idea what press I have, its used, it does not matter.

Okonomi de:
So in the beginning, you've got this repeating harpsichord vamp providing almost all of the rhythmic pulse, while the drums mostly dance around here and yonder. Then, chorus by chorus, the drums progressively start filling the same space as the harpichord, not only rhythmically, but sonically as well, till it's hard to tell where one instrument ends and the other begins. And by the end the drums have almost completely taken over what the harpsichord was doing at the beginning, and the harpsichord is pushed down to the bottom of the mix where there's now three different keyboard instruments all playing together. That's one cool arrangement. |

So, uh, is the reissue remastered? I don't think I've seen the answer anywhere yet.
