    The sound quality on this is very good-- unfortunately, I got a very, very dirty copy. Very noisy with a lot of pops and crackles despite it looking great visually. Perhaps a VPI clean would work well with this, I'm not sure. I hope so though.

      I need to know the sound quality of this pressing, because og is too hard to find and expensive, specially in my Country (Chile), where vinyl records are sold ridiculously overpriced 😥

        Seriously cool library, velvet smooth & pretty damn groovy too. You really get that "underwater" feeling on a lot of the tracks, kinda like being immersed.

        It's definitely going to appeal to fans of contemporaries (such as AIR fans to enjoy). The highlight for me is A2 ("La danse des Méduses").

        I'm so glad that this LP got a reissue, as you can expect to pay hundreds for a half-decent original press.

        How does this reissue sound? Fantastic. Obviously I haven't heard the original vinyl (only a really crackly rip from an old blog), but this pressing delivers.

        With regards to the surface noise mentioned below (pops, ticks etc), mine is pretty clean. After a VPI it plays around 98% perfect. Sure, there's a few small pops but most of this material is light so you'll pick up a lot more than, say, a Metallica LP.

        It'd be cool if this label reissued some more ultra rare Library. May I suggest something a bit more modern & electronic, but equally awesome?

        Accélération (check out "South Of The Border").

          Killer record, shame that it comes with a non-padded paper sleeve (specially for a record the label sell at 25 euros)
