Nala Sinephro – Space 1.8

I am absolutely happy with my copy, it is quiet and deep sounding. In fact, I like this album even more than Endlessness, with which I started my acquaintance with Nala on the advice of a seller in my local store in St. Petersburg. I recommend it!

Bought this album from Phonica Records a month ago and I'd love to know what people are talking about regarding "mirrored 1|" or "mirrored 1+" because mine doesn't have a 'mirrored' 1 anywhere, with or without any accompanying symbol. However, I assume mine's this most recent re-press due to including no download card, which the previous pressings supposedly included. My copy plays very well, although I have just noticed small scratches near the end of the last track on side A (just below the Warp catalog number etching).

Pressing quality is truly unforgivable on this one, isn't it? Has anyone had luck getting a better replacement copy directly from Warp?

My first copy of this was riddled with surface noise and non-fill. Got a replacement copy that sounds PERFECT. Highly, highly recommended album and pressing (if you get a good one!).

Bought a repress copy from HMV so I can return it easily if it's a dud as many of the represses have been reported to be. Seems ok though so I am keeping it. All releases seem to have used copies of the same original stamper with the mirrored "1" followed by various symbols like | , + , Δ , ⏊ , | | in the matrix. The reported noises and nonfill defects people report must be spurious manufacturing issues rather than a remastering issue. I don't believe people reporting changes in the general dynamic range of overall image stage there is no evidence of remastering. I am always weary of people hyping up first presses for profit.

Great album, but the vinyl is super noisy - especially unfortunate given how much she plays off silence on this album

Beautiful pressing- one of the best albums from the last couple of years, in my opinion. Dead-silent surfaces and excellent mastering; highly recommended.

most importantly, amazing modern jazz record for lack of a better description. it's on Warp, so you know it has some other angles to it. ambient at times, great for a late night, a few tracks have some dope drums, all instruments have great tone. lastly, my pressing sounds great, not a click. flat pressing. grab this over the tone poet and support a working musician.
