having loads of trouble listening to Luscious Apparatus -- much skipping/choppy sequences of certain audio parts, which is unfortunate as this is my favourite off the album.referencing Unsound Methods (CD, Album) CDStumm159
Repress incoming. In stock around 04/2023. words words words wordsreferencing Unsound Methods (LP, Green Transparent, LP, Clear, All Media, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue) LStumm159
Did someone notice the error (?) in the beginning of D2 "Last breath"?? It started for 5 seconds and then starts again?!
On the Selected CD it is not but this is a different version because it's only 5:24 instead of 6:21 but on this LP here it sounds strange like an error...referencing Unsound Methods (LP, Green Transparent, LP, Clear, All Media, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue) LStumm159
I’m a long-time fan of Recoil and a long time vinyl record collector. Musically, Recoil music is all I like to listen to on my hifi system : a wall of sounds with bass, medium, treble, weird atmosphere, perfectly recorded.
So I was happy to buy a Recoil vinyl for the first time : Unsound Methods
How can I explain what I think of this vinyl, what I felt during a first listen ?
No surface noise, no big flaw, but I’m so disappointed by the way it sounds. It’s flat, flabby, no dynamics. All the richness of Recoil music is gone. It’s like listening to music with cotton in the ears.
If you already know Recoil, keep on listening to your old CDs or digital files.
If you want to discover the wonderful music of Alan Wilder, avoid this poor vinyl edition.- Edited 4 months ago

Looking back 25 years now, it's fascinating to see how this album is a continuation of his production work on "Songs of Faith and Devotion". referencing Unsound Methods (LP, Green Transparent, LP, Clear, All Media, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue) LStumm159
Don’t have the OG to compare to, but…IMHO I think it sounds wonderful. A lot of texture and detail you can hear in Wilder’s production. It comes with two very nice custom inner sleeves. Download code included. Only negative is no gatefold :( I hate it when they house two records in one sleeve like that, but oh well. Album is incredible, with a remaster supervised and approved by Wilder himself- Edited 4 months ago

Initial impressions are ok BUT I’m getting tons of sibilance. Drifting sounds rough. Don’t think this is a keeper sadly.

Just finished playing all the way through. It’s going back. Missing Piece is unlistenable. This is the worst case of silibence I’ve ever heard on a record, and I’ve got over 500 of the things. I would not recommend this. referencing Unsound Methods (CD, Album) CDStumm 159
wondering why this release is expensive...what makes this release special?referencing Unsound Methods (LP, Green Transparent, LP, Clear, All Media, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue) LStumm159
Can someone confirm if those three reissues come in a gatefold sleeve and how is the quality of the pressings?referencing Unsound Methods (CD, Album) CDStumm159
It's rather strange to see so little feedback on this wonderful album (which is 25 years old today). Dark (much darker than Ultra), cinematic, a little punk and a little crazy - all this is about Alan's first full-length album after Depeche Mode. And, frankly, against the background of Unsound Methods, Depeche's album sounds too simple and pop. Happy Birthday, Unsound Methods!
