Reviews & Discussion
For a band that has voiced their appreciation for vinyl, going so far as to include special packaging on certain releases (see F#A# Infinity), GYBE and Constellation did a pretty poor job mastering this one. The mix here is considerably muddier than the CD version, and it could use a kick in the low end, in other words more bass. It's a shame because this album seems designed for vinyl release - the CD version is basically two tracks a disc, where the vinyl is one track a side. The most I can say for the vinyl is that it's a nicely designed physical product - and the timeline in the packaging is helpful for discerning where movements end and begin. It's a great album, rock and musique concrete combined and organized in a classical manner, but buy the CD version for better sound.
