Reviews

Timeless classic ambient album, and a great pressing to boot… flat, nearly silent sound floor that lets the recording shine through even the quietest parts. -
Edited 3 months agoGood pressing, quiet and clean. Although one thing I noticed is that Kobresia sounds a little bit dull compared to digital version, not as dynamic and that bass note that comes in at some point isn't as deep sounding as it should be. I am not sure why that is, it might be my setup of course. Overall though I am happy with it -
Am I the only one who doesn't have separate grooves for each track? It is just a single, continuous groove, not separated into tracks. -

Persistent crackle for the first half of side A and frequent crackle for first 3/4 of side B which really isn't too acceptable for an album this quiet. Very very mild crackle on Side C and D but both sounds significantly better than A and B which may be due to being recut. Both records are noisy on the run in. Otherwise would be a fantastic pressing, the packaging is beautiful and the music sounds fantastic. I wonder if it is worth ing Biophon for a replacement or if they're all like this.
