people here are wondering why some are complaining about the pressing quality even if their own copies have no problems. maybe that is because some copies have problems and others don't? my copy has a swooshing background noise on the right channel.

It's cool to hear the computer controlled acoustic drums on the Xmas Eve remix. The title track has a bit of that midiverb sound that he was exploring on the Field Day record. An essential addition to the Syro album.

the title track is dope, has an amazing haunting hook, flashy sound design, and great development throughout. The B side sounds like a bunch of leftovers tho.

Essential companion to Syro in my opinion, otherwise this album isn't fully complete.

Not gonna lie, I messed up the speeds the first time playing it (I thought b was the 45 side) and I love the way the A side is at 33 1/2, I recommend giving that a listen. I hear complaints about crackling, mine sounds just fine but hey that's Aphex Twin fans for you.

No problems on mine either. Great little ep. The only problem was looking up the speeds for either sides but that can be explained by usual afx asshattery.

I have three copies of this to sealed and one opened the one I listened to sounds absolutely amazing. Not sure what people are talking about with the sound quality? Mine sounds great however I used a 1200 techniques turntables and a decent sound system to play this out of. Check your needles?

Many people have reported problems with this pressing. Gladly my copy sounds dead quiet and absolutely fine. Leaving aside the pressing issue, I think the slightly muffled sound is intentional for an aesthetic purpose, not a mastering issue. RDJ has been aiming for that sound in many songs of his latest releases. I think these are great versions of already great tracks. I am really happy with my copy and would recommend anyone to pick one up. Good luck!
