Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto – VIRUS Series remaster

Pre-order/samples/more words at: https://www.anost.net/release/DE05/alva-noto-ryuichi-sakamoto/vrioon

Probably out on May 26th going off of shipping dates. Seems that the Virus series is finally getting proper LP pressings, along with added bonus tracks! Really cool.

I guess it hasn't been officially announced yet (can't find it on Noton's website) but I may as well share it given the link. Really looking forward to the Insen repress

Pre-orders officially up on Noton et al., released on 27th May it seems, so really soon.

20 year anniversary? Nuh-uh... nope. No! NOPE!

I've been holding off until the details on the box set for VIRUS is released...

While I don't need another copy on CD, my initial thought was "That looks nice, I really should get one".

Insen repress announced for July 29th, 2xlp and CD as usual, with bonus track 'Barco'

Sigh…I’m not big on physical media, but these would be very nice to have. A terrible time to have a “liquidity crisis”. 

A new track to accompany the remasters:

Revep is ready to go for pre-order, releasing 26 August. Has 3 whole bonus tracks (city radieuse, veru 1, veru 2) which is quite nice, though it seems to be missing "Skizze" from the original vinyl issue (see discogs). Maybe that ended up being "Landscape Skizze" in the Vrioon reissue, who knows.

'city radieuse' was used in an earlier project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALLGtcsyewU

utp_ time. Cool. No bonus tracks this time around (the 20 minutes of bonus tracks in the Revep remaster seems to make up for it, arguably), but it's cool that this one is getting the vinyl treatment.

Out September 30th, it seems.

And finally, Summvs. Out on 28th October, with two bonus tracks: "Monomom" (released last year) and "Kizuna" (released recently).

(Oddly enough, if you add up all the bonus tracks together from the five album remasters, you get about 44:44 of bonus tracks. That's longer than Insen!)

I've been collecting the remasters as they come out.  Is there any new info about the box set?
