JonCrow Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 I own both editions. Much prefer the Dragonfly artwork. Quote
Penzoline Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 I caved in and spend the money required to own this masterpiece, probably ending up the only CD I'll ever spend that much on. +1 for dragonfly Quote
Djuna Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 No, but according to the songs I have or heard, it's a bit overrated imho. For the same money I can buy more albums that are as good as IFO or even better. But oh well, you can say that about a lot of albums. I got the Nova Tek version a few months now, and it looks like my thoughts were right . Best track is Alcyone, crazy melodies on that one. Quote
Oopie Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I have the nova tekk version. It's easily my fav'e of the 2 pressings. Enhanced colors plus correct track lenghts. Let's face it: If the dragonfly version would be perfect, they wouldn't have made changes to the nova tekk one. Quote

Repress will never have the same collector value of the original notwithstanding some extreme cases where represses are significantly different and unique in their own way...which is not the case here..we are only talking about some touch ups released on mass produced supermarket-like label Nova Tekk. I'd take my original Dragonfly edition any day....legendary album on the legendary label Quote

Getting 20-30e more for the potential sell of the product hardly gives me a hard-on. "Different strokes for different folks" as the saying goes. Quote

It's just a licensed version released in the same year by another label like many, many and (again) many artist albums and also compilations. Quote

That does not change the fact the Dragonfly edition is the original and Dragonfly is (or was) the holder of the copyright and not Nova Tekk. I supose one can call it a re-press or whatever....it still does not change my point above. What you're talking about is a mere technicality. Quote
Jason Pandanandi Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Picked up an original of Family of Light on Amazon back in 2003 or so, but never got around to getting I.F.O. on hard copy. If there's a 2X cd with that and the Live DAT coming out sometime in the next couple years; I'll just wait. That said... I think Family of Light is the better album. By far, even. Quote
