Reviews
- Edited 7 months agoMy ears have been opened!I never thought of playing this at 33 until I read the comments here.It now seems obvious.
Was Eno having a little joke?
Update.I`ve gone back to 45 now.Just as good at both speeds. 
Got this on sale and so glad I picked it up! I put this on and get lost in a book. I kept it at 45rpm
Definitively 33 rpm. Definitively. Ambient avoids 45 , anyway .
Of course on 33 rpm. It's a testament of slowing down. I prefer it pitched down to minus - 17 !
Agreeing with everyone below, 33rpm is the way to go. So much deeper and more ethereal, and the original recording is already quite spacious and pensive. Similarly, would not be surprised at all if this was intentional, just to add another way of experiencing this recording beyond the regular CD and the generative/infinite streaming versions.
As other people have stated, it's much better played at 33 RPM than the intended 45 RPM. At 33 it reminds me of Ambient 4 and Apollo. At 45 it sounds pretty lame. Highly recommended at 33.- Great music and nice cut: now sounds really good to me after a 'Disco' wash. And yes, played at 33 instead of 45 (I didn't read the labels until today or never listened to the digital version before) obviously makes it much more profound and spacy to me! A wonderful analog accident... so probably the best version as far as I'm concerned!
Instead of the intended 44 rpm, try spinning the record at 33 rpm. It sounds fantastic, I might even prefer it to be played that way. I wouldn't be surprised at all Eno decided to have it run at 45 rpm just so people could do this.- Side A and B noisy and crackly - C and D also not perfect. Anyone else had this problem?
Edited 8 years agoNothing groundbreaking and a little more reverb than I'd have liked but a great LP and a great addition to his ambient works. A bit darker than Discreet music and with far less variation than the Ambient series. Very quiet pressing.
