Amazon claimed to be offering signed copies when pre-orders launched but I don't know if anyone actually got any. I ended up getting a refund

Ok, I will tell the extended versions of the songs, here we go:

"Romeo" doesn't have the Basement Jaxx voice, but a extended intro.
"Breakaway" has a extended intro.
"Kissalude" is omitted.
In fact, "Jus 1 Kiss" starts with the extended intro, as well as a alternative ending.
"Get Me Off" has a extended intro.
"Where's Your Head At" has a extended intro, as well as a extended and alternative ending.
"Do Your Thing" has a super extended intro, as well as a alternative ending.

That's all.

This album was one of the handful of Astralwerks CDs I listened to back in the early 2000s when I was little. The others being The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim or Air.

I like most of the songs. The ones I like are "Romeo", "Jus 1 Kiss", "Where's Your Head At" and "Do Your Thing". "Jus 1 Kiss" has that loungey-ish vibe to it. I also like "Breakaway" and "Broken Dreams", even though the vocals on "Breakaway" sounds like an alien.

There are a few songs I find either average or annoying. And those songs are "SFM", "I Want U" and "Get Me Off". "Crazy Girl" and "All I Know" aren't too exciting as well.

But yeah, with the exception of a few songs, this is a good album that's less than a quarter century old now. B+

Sounds great on my system. Can't compare it to an original pressing, but I do have an OG copy of Remedy (one of the best sounding records in my collection) and the quality is just as good. The extended mixes on certain tracks are really cool to hear, and as far as I am aware were only released on vinyl. Definitely recommended.

One of the best pressings I have heard lately, everything is very clear, the bass is punchy like you want it to be, and this seems to be made for mixing so the songs have intros that aren't on the original versions which makes this unique and worth hearing on its own. Highly recommended

What feels like a long time I have a perfect press, no movement in the rig. Silent, the colour of the record's great. a++

FYI, this is NOT the original album. Several of the tracks have been replaced with extended remixes that are not only TERRIBLE but they removed the many transitions/interludes that are so much apart of this LP. They really needed to this explicitly, I now understand the tacky cover change. Also, the sound quality is pretty underwhelming and the sticker on side B is messed up. So disappointed, why would they do this???

I am wondering how this sounds? What are folks noticing?

Great album, masterpiece! I was listening the CD version for 20 years, and it's not bad, not too harsh on ears, like you could expect it, but this vinyl version is great. Lovely bass and better dynamics. And many songs are actually extended versions, so you'll get a slightly different experience than on CD version. Recommended.
