Dmitry Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Played this on youtube. Crazy shit...reminded me of my much younger nights at the Tonic, the Knit, DMG, the first three or four Vision Festivals and other sundry downtown venues of repute. I'm not buying this, guys, but enjoy, if this is your bag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Copy no. 2 arrived with a trace at the end of the first side - fortunately it doesn’t click so I’ll live with it. Whatever happened to quality control and care in US vinyl plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 My item was shipped with UPS. I never had had a UPS shipment that was delivered without any problems. This time it’s not much better. It should have been delivered yesterday.... it was so close but for some reason it never arrived. In the meanwhile my package has seen the whole country. And it’s moving away from me now. Yesterday it was in Hoofddorp (20km from here). Now it’s in Eindhoven (150 km from here). What the hell are those guys doing.

Pim Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Well, I gave it a spin and must say... wow! This is some very intense music. it's my taste exactly: the eastern influences, and going out without losing itself in absolute chaos. Some highly talented musicians. But what surprises me the most is the sound quality. They did a very, very good job. Does anyone have the original to compare? Was this recorded so well, or remastered so well? Only thing I do not like so much is the packaging which feels a bit cheap. But I am very happy to add this to my collection.

sidewinder Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I would hazard to guess that the sound on this one is better than on the original ! Agree with your comment on the packaging - they could have used a sturdier cardboard, I guess this was an ‘eco’ job. On the whole, happy with it though.

Clunky Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I was interested to read in the liner notes that the mastering had a digital part to allow reduction of sonic blemishes in the master tapes. It sounds magnificent to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've listened to an original before -- this has a little less murk to it and a bump in clarity. Not a drastic difference, just a bit of brightening in the corners.

mjazzg Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Mine's arrived. First listen happening now - slight warp {there's that quality control again) doesn't seem to be affecting playback, thankfully.
