Fennesz – Venice

No 20-year anniversary vinyl reissue for this one is kind of a bummer

I am here in support of vicious_violet and djased1. This ambient classic NEEDS a repress! Badly!

better sounding than original cd to me. less compressed and quieter but still very powerful music. the extra tracks are a treat. one of my favorite albums of all time. its interesting to read the booklet.

there are some differences I've noticed,
Rivers Of Sand cuts off the ending, the original has a fade out and after a few seconds of silence a noise is heard. this is now gone and after the fade out track 2 comes on instead.
also, onsra is extended from the original, however doesn't transition into Circassian anymore

The Flacs available to download via Bandcamp are 24-bit, 96MHz.

Venice=dirty and stagnant water, going under, just like this record makes me feel! Still want to visit Venice but I give up on Fennesz, not even Sakamoto could help his music.

each night i pray to the heavens so that they might deliver a repress

Download code is not enclosed in the album but only available through the Touch shop. I do not know which format it is

VENICE might bring up images of gondolas, canals and Piazza San Marco, but Fennesz has a different view: the refractions and wanderings of "Rivers Of Sand," for instance, or the drifting warmth of "Château Rouge" that suddenly surges forward. But "City Of Light" stays on the ambient side, with long, sustained tones, and "Circassian" loads on the layers of guitar haze. "Transit" introduces more of an industrial feel at its start before David Sylvian brings his croon to bear, while "The Point of It All" returns to moody atmospherics. The album ends with the noisier "The Stone of Impermanence," which goes to show that Fennesz's view of Venice is surely a personal -- albeit beautiful -- one.

This album (his best in my opinion) needs a vinyl reissue BADLY!

This piece of work blends together seamlessly,creating an atmosphere of liquid pleasure,it holds together so well,listen to this as the sun sets with a chilled glass of wine,BLISS.
