Unknown Artist - Untitled

To me, this sounds like The Boats & company; maybe all of the previous artists together? Any thoughts?

Any comments on the pressing, please? There are some terrible reviews that have put me off so far ...
Mary Jane Leach - Woodwind Multiples
posted a review of Mary Jane Leach - Woodwind Multiples. about 1 year ago
Any comments on the pressing? I have read such bad reviews on the Laila Sakini clear vinyl on Modern Love, which has prevented me from buying it, and this one is also clear and on the same label...
Grouper - Grid Of Points
posted a review of Grouper - Grid Of Points. about 1 year ago
Beautiful music. Great-sounding record. An awful, loud click at the beginning of B2 (Blouse) has prevented me from giving it 5 stars. Anyone else have the same issue?

Great bass, and quiet pressing, in general, but I here confirm flaws on Side C and Side F; otherwise, magnificent quality of sleeves and sound.
FKA Twigs - EP1

Great pressing! Like FKA Twigs' EP2, this one also runs at 45rpm, and sounds superb.

Any comments on this pressing, please? This is not the RSD edition, is it? Thanks.
Lou Reed - Berlin

Very decent pressing. Super quiet and good-sounding vinyl. I dont own the OG edition so I can't compare it, but this sounds pleasant. Booklet is nice as well.

Any comments on this pressing? Did this edition get that wrong panning too?

Does this version come with the 16-page booklet too? Thank you!

Any thoughts on the pressing, please? Wondering if this edition is worth buying as I can't find an OG pressing where I live.

Adorable analogue music. The whole idea is just fantastic. I’d never heard of Mort Garson’s Mother Earth Plantasia before, I must confess, but I’m happy I’ve just come across this beautiful record with such a fascinating concept behind, and so... See full review

Any thoughts on the pressing? I’ve got the Secretly Canadian one is arguably NOT the best or most silent records I’ve ever listened to...

A contemporary classic. Dynamics on this pressing are nice. Vinyl does have quite a lot of surface noise but pretty bearable. If you’re looking for a good pressing, this is decent enough but definitely not the best. It does come with the great printed... See full review
Felt - Primitive Painters
posted a review of Felt - Primitive Painters. over 4 years ago
Arguably, the weirdest album cover within my whole vinyl collection yet it doesn’t really look bad once it’s in your hands, and, most importantly, it sounds fantastic! I like to see this as a test pressing or so. The centre labels also look nicer than... See full review

Absolutely agree but I’ve never owned the original to compare. Has this been remastered or?
múm - The Peel Session

As long as it still sounds good, it’s fine then. Fair enough, I’ve seen vinyl records which run at different rpm on each side!

Thanks a lot. I only my own the CD EP version, so I’d like to know.

Sound is pretty good, to be honest. Pity my copy is so warped that it’s unplayable.
Dead Can Dance - Aion
posted a review of Dead Can Dance - Aion. over 5 years ago
The sound is pretty impressive. Having said that, I must say that the pressing (at least the new/sealed copy I bought) has some clicks, which may be quite unnoticed when there is a lot of instrumentation, but it really is a bit annoying in calmer... See full review

Wondering how this pressing sounds. Could anybody comment on the sound quality, please?
Mushy - Faded Heart
posted a review of Mushy - Faded Heart. over 5 years ago
Stunning album: depressive and mesmerizing. Reminds me of Tropic Of Cancer. The pressing does have some surface noise, though. Other than that, I love the black and white artwork: it matches the music well.
Kælan Mikla - Nótt Eftir Nótt
posted a review of Kælan Mikla - Nótt Eftir Nótt. over 5 years ago
Love both the music and artwork: coldwave/darkwave tunes with some perhaps punk/no wave vibes in places. As for the vinyl itself, I must say the pressing is clean: no annoying pops or surface noise whatsoever.

Dead Can Dance - Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun
posted a review of Dead Can Dance - Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun. over 6 years ago
The best DCD album, in my humble opinion: dark and powerful. This reissue is very decent and plays quietly with some minor clicks, especially on Cantara (track 2 side B) and a little surface noise on side B but nothing too serious and when played... See full review

Mine has some minor but still audible clicks especially on Cantara (track 2 side B), but in general, my copy plays quietly and is powerful and clear too.
Nico (3) - Chelsea Girl
posted a comment on Nico (3) - Chelsea Girl. over 6 years ago
I will have to agree with you. Sadly, my copy has the same issues: clicks and pops, and this quite annoying noise you mention in your review. I will keep anyway since it was a present but I am a bit let down with this reissue to say the least. Of... See full review

Thank you for pointing this out; I cannot see the signature you mention, though. Can you confirm this, please?
Nico (3) - The Marble Index
posted a review of Nico (3) - The Marble Index. over 6 years ago
I must say that I agree with most reviewers here: noisy copy. I wouldn’t say that this is a poor pressing but there is, indeed, too much annoying noise: clicks and pops in most of the tracks. Disappointed, of course, bearing in mind that the sticker... See full review
Apenino - Viravolta
posted a review of Apenino - Viravolta. over 6 years ago
Great songs: indietronics with political lyrics (in Spanish). Very nice programming and lovely vocals: Mónica Vacas (Mus) and Eva (Linda Guilala) accompany very suitably. I love the mini album cover and the format as well (10”). Sadly, at least my own... See full review

Interesting. So, did you come to any conclusions? What’s your view on this mono version? Would you recommend it?
This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren
posted a comment on This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren. over 6 years ago
Couldn’t agree more! TMC’s Song To The Siren is such a beautiful version - perhaps my favourite song ever. However, like you, I wish the B-side had been another tune - even an instrumental version would have been more suitable.

Thank you. Have you compared the CD sound quality with the vinyl pressing or any other source? Maybe the master tapes’ quality isn’t the best either?
Cranes - Forever
posted a comment on Cranes - Forever. over 6 years ago
I’m afraid this copy is not as good as the others (from what one may read in the previous reviews): the sound is pretty good but it has this annoying repetitive surface noise as if the stylus were dirty (but it is not). Disappointed because the rest... See full review

I’m curious too. Had no idea Spectrum albums had been reissued. Would like to read comments on both the pressing and the artwork.

I only wish a few more copies of the black vinyl would come back in stock at Boomkat. I missed out on this beauty.

Any idea if they will be reissuing this box set or the CDs separately one day? It's a shame how such beautiful music and items are not available any more unless one pays the whim of a third party who has nothing to do with it.

Same here. Mine is exactly the one you describe. I was wondering if there had possibly been a different pressing but there seems to be only this one.
