I can only think some people got copies with no-fill or dirty out of the factory, or just static issues, mine sounds absolutely pristine from start to finish. Very low noise floor, beautifully balanced piano sound, it's stunning. If you're referring to the clicking notes and ticks in the music, those are intentional, there is a clock in the background, and the clicking is the piano hammers moving, the mics are fully within the piano, it's intentional to bring another layer to the music.
There's a really good review of the album here which is worth reading: https://higherplainmusic.com/2020/06/18/hania-rani-home-review/

Lots of pop... one of worst pressing that I own. The music itself it's just otherwordly good.

Great album that my daughter introduced me to. My black vinyl copy plays flawlessly with zero surface noise.

Perfect sound mastering and pressing such a good album! embossed cover with quality paper
Glad had pick up this one!

As the clear vinyl version has gotten some negative comments, can anyone comment as to the quality of the black vinyl? I tend to have bad luck with clear vinyl, the one exception being the stuff that the Bella Union label puts out, which is always quite good regardless of color.

Edit: Bought it before seeing the other comment below. Wish I would have waited. Horrible pressing -- after two good cleanings it still sounds terrible. The surface noise is just brutal, considering that this is a brand new record. A shame, because the album itself is beautiful -- one of my favorites of 2020. Skip the LP and just get the CD.

Beautiful packaging. Comes in a gatefold with polylined inners. I'm not a huge fan of clear vinyl but it fits the color scheme nicely here. Vinyl arrived flat and with little to moderate surface noise.

Initially limited to 500 copies, then increased to 1000.

*edit*

After having listened to it multiple times, including after a thorough cleaning there's definitely some noticeable surface noise. Since it's such a delicate album with a lot of quiet moments, the occasional pop can be quite jarring. Still a good pressing though.
