- Edited 5 months agoPositively fantastic Haken issue (s).
Ok so its cut low considering its a double LP BUT.... it sounds amazing! It sounds that little bit less compressed than the CD itself imo and that makes it better to crank leaving no sense of mild clipping present on the CD but just be prepared to turn the dial down when youve finished lol. The mastering engineer whoever he is knows his stuff Another reason for the crankability is the quality of these Haken pressings done by Optimal before they sh1t a QC brick during covid. Ive got the black, neon yellow and og 2016 clear vinyl issues and they are all superbly flat and silent... literally reference quality pressings!
I will also say Vector, the Mountain, Virus and Visions are superbly pressed and worth getting vs their CD counterparts for similar reasons. Then again maybe its the colouration of my vinyl system i am just enjoying listening to. Either way i dont care these Haken reissues ROCK!! - Awesome release, really good quality. The records sound is flawless, one the bests in my collection.
- Finally a record company got it right from start to finish. The LPs are quiet and sound amazing. The records are shipped in anti-staic lined paper inners and they are packed between the gatefold sleeve to prevent any splitting. I am more impressed with this release than any One-Step or UHQR I own, based on cost and bang for the buck. I also received Haken's The Mountain and it shipped the same way and also sounds very impressive so far.
- Pressing is extremely quiet and clean. Impressive, considering quality of many new releases these days.
