Reviews
Is there any discernible difference between the original and repress of this release?
Repress on Ostgut! Mis plegarias han sido escuchadas por fin. Venga esos Uruk Hai, os va a pagar 100 pavos vuestra prima la muelles!
The music itself is amazing, definitely an achievement. The mastering lends itself well to vinyl, sounds great.
The pressing is a different matter. audible Non-fill/stitching all over the copies I’ve seen (my original purchase and it’s replacement). Here’s to hoping that if/when it is repressed that they’ll use different pressing plant with better QC.- Un repressito de esto no vendria mal, que los Uruk Hai del Discogs lo estan poniendo por las nubes! :)
A ver si alguien que sepa Aleman lo traduce y se enteran los amiguis de Ostgut! - Top quality album. Vinyl copy sounds much better than any copies of this found on digital streaming services. Definitely a lot more dynamic, a richer, fuller sound that adds to the listening experience. Highly recommended.
I love this record. I have to say the pressing is not the best, lots of noticeable pops and clicks in the quiet parts. I bought this directly from Bandcamp and am a little bummed the pressing is not great but I do love the music.
Excellent trancy tracks on four record sides. Having read about clicks and pops, the records had to endure ultrasonic cleaning before the first spin and played flawless. Helps, when played with equipment able to go down to 20 Hertz and a little bit below ;)- Barkers record is outstanding, but pressing is not quite good, a lot of hiss and crackle on a mint record.
- Great album! I like every track. Love this particular techno style.
I gave it only 4 stars because both records contain a lot of clicks and pops (album bought from Bandcamp) that ruin the overall experience. 
Edited 4 years agosome of the tracks remind me of sounds and ideas in Theme From: Its All Gone Pearshaped
