Across the Barrier of Sound: PostScript is a 2020 compilation album consisting of material recorded in 1989 and 1990 by Game Theory, a California power pop band founded in 1982 by guitarist and singer-songwriter Scott Miller. The band's lineup during this period included Michael Quercio, who had previously fronted the Paisley Underground group The Three O'Clock.[6][7]

The album was released by Omnivore Recordings on March 20, 2020.[6][8] The collection of mostly previously unreleased songs from Game Theory's final lineup concludes Omnivore's series of Game Theory reissues which began in 2014.[8][9][10]
