Sibylle Baier – Colour Green

Surely this is crying out for a "Green" colour vinyl release..........

beautiful record from a very talented artist, thank you Orange Twin Records for putting this out

Anyone know of other artists like Sibylle? It is her songwriting, and strange melodies I am drawn to. All I know of is Vashti Bunyan, I'm not that familiar with folk music.

I have the O.G Isota pressing and yes, there is noticeable distortion. It has everything to do with the fact that this was originally recorded on some sort of lo-fi tape recorder decades ago and the tape was subsequently buried until it was unearthed by her daughter and passed along to J Mascis who got it pressed and released. It was originally released in a very small batch on a very tiny label so I'm guessing there wasn't much of a budget for remastering and mixing the track for dynamic range and fidelity. Being as how Sybylle had no intention of this music every being heard, I take it for what it is and I am just grateful to even hear it on my favorite format. It's a stunning listen all things considered.

This is a comment upon the sound quality and not the music itself:

I have listened to two copies of the 2010 vinyl issue and both have awful sound quality issues (distortion).

I would welcome further opinions on this.
