    Really impressed with the sound of this one, it has this three dimensional effect that I like. Fantastic sound design, mixing and mastering. Also my copy is silent with just some very light tics here and there and zero inner groove distortion. People are complaining a lot about this release. I didn't find any flaw whatsoever and at 19.50 euros it's an absolute bargain. Highly recommended release/edition.

    My only criticism is the non inclusion of the three "bonus" tracks. FFS, include these tracks in all editions! You obviously had a ten song album and you just butchered it for the deluxe edition and whatever. This marketing thing is really idiotic and disrespectful towards the fans.

      Imaging and sound in general on this album's left much to desire. Great instrumentation but not a great sound. I just listened to this album after Billy Cobham's Spectrum, big mistake, there the sound is big airy, spacious, whereas PT's album was all the opposite, dull and boring sounding. I know SW is great mixer of digital format, even of albums that have been converted from analog, but when the source is purely digital, I think it looses a ton. Too bad because they are great musicians..
      Maybe we have to wait 10 years for the remastered/remixed version to enjoy it at its best?

        Love this release from PT, and the vinyl (sound wise) does not disappoint. Only thing that is slight annoying is the warp on the disc 1, which is only really noticable when playing side 2. Doesn't affect play, just annoying. I only paid £15 for on Amazon, which is a bargin, warp and all.

          Sounds great, plays great, I didn't even have to clean it prior to playing.

            Here we have a beautiful album and sounds great to me.

              As an album, this would have made a great THREE song EP...withDignity, Of the New Day, and Chimera's Wreck... The other 4 pieces are (in my opinion) superfluous and not up to usual PT standards. If continuation is in the future, I hope they will build on the style of the three mentioned.
              The pressing was a mixed bag, even after ultrasonic cleaning. Side One had a huge surface mark but did not affect the playing but sides 3/4 had some pops throughout quiet ages.

                Why on earth does a 48-minute album run on 33⅓ and spread over 2 LPs? I guess they both should have been cut at 45 RPM, that would just nicely fit the aesthetics of Mr Wilson in of HiFi sound and all that. Oh, I forgot, the future bites and it's just marketing so I paid a fair price of 24,99 EUR

                  Good sound, definitely needed a cleaning out of the packaging which seemed to help with the crackles and pops.
                  Rich and detailed low end. I'm impressed with this release.

                    My copy is perfect, no background noise or imperfections, fantastic album!

                      Constantly clicking and popping, also wooshy , misprint as well because the cut is not round but rollercoasting. I am really sick and tired of buying new pressings, one star from me as it is only a bit warping…
