referencing Direct (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Stereo, Blue Transparent) MOVLP2843
Beautiful pressing, very nice and full soundstage. The bass has maybe a little more drive than the original pressing. As others have noted, side A, C and D are pretty much flawless. Side B has 5 minor ticks before the 1 min mark, not too obtrusive but there nevertheless. Additionally, one larger "pop" at around 1:25 mins in is the worst offender. Not bad enough to send it back, as the rest of the album is beautiful and this seems it may be an issue on other pressings.referencing Direct (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Stereo, Blue Transparent) MOVLP2843
What an excellent piece of work from the guys @ “Music on Vinyl” sounds awesome, no pops or crackles, a really deep sound, to produce this quality would have been nice to show case in a gatefold cover…referencing Direct (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Stereo, Blue Transparent) MOVLP2843
Super quiet pressing!
Keep up the good work, Music on Vinyl !!referencing Direct (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Stereo, Blue Transparent) MOVLP2843
One of my favourite Vangelis albums. My only complaint, I wish this was a gatefold sleeve.referencing Direct (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Stereo, Blue Transparent) MOVLP2843
Very nice pressing, great sounding. Mine has a little misspress though on side 2, wich causes pops and even some skipping, so it's going back.referencing Direct (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Stereo, Blue Transparent) MOVLP2843
Very nice and clean pressing. To me it sounds even better than 1989 South Korea press (https://www.discogs.com/release/21394006-Vangelis-Direct).referencing Direct (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Stereo, Blue Transparent) MOVLP2843
Kindly comment on the quality of this pressing and the audio, please.referencing Direct (CD, Album, Stereo) ARCD-8545
My copy has the catalogue number 209 149 and is printed in Germany but does not have a printed inner sleeve.Instead it has a 4 page booklet.Can any one shed some light on this.referencing Direct (CD, Album) 259 149
Sure not one of his best albums but the quality is still high.
The track Metallic Rain is definitive a top 10 piece of his repertoire for me.referencing Direct (LP, Album, Stereo) 209 149
Perfect pressing. Very dynamic-sounding. Not my favourite Vangelis album but nonetheless a very solid effort. [ Playing this using an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge ]
