Contrary to what the industry would have you believe, anything up to 35 minutes on one side of vinyl sounds absolutely fine. Compilation albums for roughly fifteen years were released with 40 minutes per side. The only deterioration in sound quality is the increased ratio of background noise to signal, which is far less a problem than the distortion you get from pressing the music sufficiently loud to get under fifteen minutes to fill a side.
The practice of issuing albums that are under about 50 minutes on double vinyls is possibly the most irritating thing to happen to the industry in (NB) about the last ten years. Three side breaks across one average-length album is enough to drive anyone to listen to the CD. On the contrary, I was remarkably pleased to discover that this album only came on one disc. -
Edited 13 years agoThese kinds of releases are criminal. What do I mean? I'm talking about labels that try to cram 20+ minutes of music on one side of wax. This just irritates me to a level that is directly proportional to how good the music is. Ambient should have been released as a 2x12".
------------------------------
Anyone who says 35 minutes on one side of a record is "absolutely fine" is a person who listens to more classical music than music with substantial bass. Increased background noise is a SERIOUS issue when cutting volume is drastically decreased to accommodate longer times per side. Distortion is mostly an issue when trying to cut at very high volumes, ie: mastering "club" cuts, and most of the distortion issues occur when the music emphasizes frequencies above 10Khz.
Moby's Ambient doesn't emphasize those higher frequencies, nor would it require a hot +4 to +6db cut.
For an all-vinyl ambient dj like me, this release would have been perfect as a 2x12".
