For me, one of the best albums ever made. Truly unique and timeless in the sense that In 2025 it is as good as in 2009. And you'd probably be unable to attach a year tag to it when listening to it the first time.
And while I know "There are no plans for a vinyl edition because the bass spatialization effects that give many of these recordings their sonic character are incompatible with vinyl mastering techniques.", I wish there would be a vinyl version of this (beyond the 7/10 tracks of this CD available on wax). As a box with the amazing artwork, 5 slabs of vinyl, Side J etched. Just an idea.- In stock today at Boomkat £18.99 + shipping with nice new packaging by Terre himself. Don't sleep!
anyone know whether this was released in a digipak or a jewel case?- No other album in history deserves a full vinyl press than this one. None
Wonderful stuff. A real gem. Defining album. Respect is due!
Truly a masterwork of house music. It manages to be simultaneously beautiful and haunting, joyous and cynical. An absolute must listen.
This is just an incredibly beautiful release. I keep coming back to it.
And yeah, get it from comatose.com.
So unfortunate that this doesn't have a vinyl release or even a cassette.- ZIP Closing the "Superlongevity 6" Party in Berlin with "Midtown 120 Blues" what a track and feelings!!!. <3
Greatest album I've heard. As stunning today as it was in 2009.
