    My copy (Red Opaque) is PERFECT. Vinyl smooth, quiet mass, without clicks and rustle.

      "Ghosts Again" and "Always You" are the most beautiful. I don't like "My Cosmos Is Mine", "Soul With Me" and "Caroline's Monkey" (for the sound), but it's a good album, not at the level of "Playing The Angel", but it's a good album. If it had been 9 songs (by removing the 3 tracks mentioned above), it would have been perfect.

Se fosse stato di 9 canzoni (togliendo le 3 tracce sopra citate), sarebbe stato perfetto.

            Had to return my UK red vinyl - although it mosty sounded excellent, there was a long section on side A that was unistenable due to clicks and repeated noises that did not clean off after two wet cleans. Disappointed. Music is great

              As with the clear version, I tried three copies of this: two were absolutely perfect, a lovely pressing. The third has a heavy mark (not a simple hairline scratch) on the last track, which is unlistenable.

              Overall, apart from the faulty copy, I would say that the red sounds better than the clear Amazon version: surface noise is even lower.

                With the asking price beeing outrageous there was no room for a shitty pressing, thankfully the red vinyl i have leaves little to be desired. Great wide and deep sound,very clear if only a bit dark on the top and just a bit noisy in some parts but that does go away quickly. Not a perfect pressing which to be honest with this asking price it should be but nevertheless a very good one.
                (My system :Harbeth Shl5, Croft Micro 25R, Croft Series 7. Sonneteer Sedley, Project Xpression with Hana SL.)

                  People who bemoan the lack of "hit single material" in this album might have missed the fact that DM have, for a long time, abandoned the easy electro pop of their earlier albums and started a journey towards darker territories, producing music often interlaced with gothic and industrial influences. Territories where earworms, "hits" and catchy tunes are not quite required, and where repetition is often used as an artistic tool (listen to Swans, just as an example, who have elevated monotony and repetition to a true art form - as much as I don't personally like them all that much).

                  I am not saying that this is a masterpiece, although this type of albums need repeated listens to really appreciate them, but it is a very good album nonetheless.

                  I have so far only listened to the Amazon special clear edition (not opened my red one yet) but it sounded great to me, no noise or pops and well produced.

                    My copy has some nasty crackling at the end of My Cosmos and the start of Wagging Tongue, even after a cleaning. Nothing seems visually off, besides the record being slightly warped. Rest of side A and sides B & C sound fine. Has anyone gotten a replacement?

                      Side 3 might be the best DM has ever put out imo, and this pressing is sublime.
