Clark* – Playground In A Lake

And again a really bad pressing, released by Deutsche Grammophon. Far too much surface noise for this beautiful music.
DG already failed with the pressings of "The Wind" by Balmorhea, "Biala Flaga" by Hania Rani & Dobrawa Czocher, "Reprise" (grey vinyl) by Moby, "Inner Symphonies" (red vinyl) by Hania Rani & Dobrawa Czocher, "Reflections" (clear vinyl) by Víkingur Ólafsson, "Philip Glass: Piano Works" by Víkingur Ólafsson and "The Turning Year" by Roger Eno.
Where's the quality control?

A Shame ... First Copy with 2 bad Signs on vinyl 2 was sended back. New Copy Is full of crackles and pops .

My 1st copy had to be returned as it was a shockingly noisy pressing like the Richter Voices release was. Both were pressed by Optimal Media GmbH. The replacement is only marginally better, not the quality I am used to hearing from Deutsche Grammophon / Decca releases.

i'm wishing me beats back like CLARK did in the past...to much melody since the last album

His magnum opus? Feels liked he's condensed all the experience of his career, the epicness, melodic hooks, microdetailed production and range of sounds into one incredible emotional journey.

Wow. Whether you accept this or not, Playground in a lake is Clark at his most triumphant. A spiritual successor to Totem's Flare.
