    Listening to mine right now, it's pretty quiet both sides, certainly nothing to be too concerned about. Not a comment to gloat, rather stating that not all are bad copies.

      My copy has many clicks on A and B sides (C and D are loud and clean), but the sound is good generally.

        ''Made in Czech Republic'' sticker on shrink wrap. This piece of info should have warned me. As in 75% of the cases, also this Czech plant pressed vinyl has many issues. Especially Side B comes with unbearable surface noise. Such a pity that this plant continues to not have their act together. Labels should avoid until quality control issues are solved. We pay top dollar for vinyl nowadays. Fine…but give us top quality products in return

          What a shame. Side B has static noise throughout in the left channel. I’m returning mine. Such a good record ruined by a poor mastering and pressing. AVOID.

            Unfortunately my copy have a noise along all the B side/tracks, like what AffineTransform has already say
            Very disappointed with this. :(

              Having bought the original 30 years ago I can confidently recommend this to anyone, especially those who haven't yet owned it.one of the best ambient techno albums of ALL TIME.plus the repress has been shown respect and the 12" is fantastic.

                Beautiful packaging and artwork in a gatefold sleeve. Heavyweight vinyl. Sounds sublime. The packaging and pressing quality are better than I have come to expect from a modern FSOL pressing, although the RSD Accelerator and Earthbeat were also top notch. Some copies available on bandcamp as of this review. Pick it up or you may regret it.

                  does anyone have a problem with the side B? I am on my second copy and the entire side is very noisy (both channels are affected, but mostly the left one).

                    The tracks on my bonus 12" are in reverse order to what's listed on the artwork and here. The final track, Mountain Path, picks up where Mountain Goat left off, which very welcome. But, blatantly, Mountain Goat could do with the full new mixes treatment as FSOL gave to yage, my kingdom and PNG.

                      "(d as a limited edition of 1250 copies but, no evidence of this information on the item itself)"

                      Was that UK RSD site? Then it is probably at least 2,500 if you include EU/ROW.
                      1,250 sounds a bit low, the RSD sites are specific to the market they represent, so the UK site only refers to the UK, not any other RSD site/market.
