Reviews
- Very noisy mass....rustle, sand. But, on the whole, a wonderful record. The bass is wonderful! I still recommend it!
- Edited one month agoLovely pressing. Got it for 15 euros through Amazon and boy was it a good purchase. Surprised by the vinyl thickness, flatness and overall sound quality, much like the other have mentioned.
Timeless music that never gets old. "Tha" alone is worth the price of admission. If you've never heard of this, you're definitely missing out, and it will defy your understanding of Ambient music as such, just like it did back in the day.
Grab a copy while you can. - Track B2 is misspelled as "I" when it should be "i" according to the track list on the cover. This is very important.
- Was a study abroad student in England (from the U.S.) in 2013 and lugged this home in my suitcase. After countless re-listens, I’m sure the base sluggishness and fuzziness was an unintended mistake, but it captures the vibe of the UK well at that time for me. Everything seemed dreamlike and cold. This press feels like a lo-fi take. A different angle.
- Edited 3 months agoBought my copy in 2015, I believe, and having re-listened to it recently (the music is, of course, outstanding) the bass on this pressing is, indeed, filthy, disgusting and distorted.
- I found this at someone's yard sale for 50 cents. Came to add it to my collection and pretty mind blown at the prices. I think when I get ready to sell it, I'll do it for 1 buck to keep that thrifting spirit alive. As for the cassette itself, it sounds warm.
- Agree with most of the reviews, the records are banging and the sound quality is fantastic! Flat vinyl and zero background noise, sound is heavy and clean, very satisfied with this purchase!
- Oh, right, it's Richard D. James' music resonating inside my skull.
I feel that art criticism says more about the critic than the art in question. It is entertaining to discuss the merits of various artists at parties and social events. In a product review, you have no way of knowing whether our musical interests line up. So go over to youtube and find some of the tracks on this album. Or any of Richard D. James' other work. If you don't know his work yet, you will soon know if you love it or hate it. If you love it, and you own a turntable, then you should buy this album. If you don't, then move along.
Practically, this is a fine pressing of Selected Ambient Works 85 - 92. You get two vinyl records in a nice cardboard sleeve. Both sides of each record has tracks pressed into them. As a physical artifact, there is nothing particularly exceptional here, but there are also no problems. If you have previously purchased vinyl, you will get exactly what you expect. If you have not, then rest assured that this is a good quality pressing that is worth your hard-earned dollars.
If you believe that vinyl is a waste of your time and money, then please feel free to pass this record up. There are plenty of us, however delusional, who enjoy throwing our money at such frivolous items. Please let us enjoy our illusions in peace.
