    I'll need to do a proper A/B test but upon initial spin, this Glitterbeat release might be better than my OG US pressing. Nicely done.

      I have never heard of "Glitterbeat" records but this is a fantastic reissue. Flat, perfectly quiet and the mastering adds a better tonal balance than any of the online streams I have heard of this album. Don't sleep on this version if you can find it.

        Ancient urban environments rich in interconnections, full of intricacies and inhabited by keepers of tradition.

          I first heard this record maybe a couple of years after it came out. Hassell would be one of my desert island artists. His sound is like no other, like the Fohn wind or spirits keening, drifting in the night sky. The comment about annoying trumpet made me laugh! It takes all sorts :-)

            Very good reissue. My feeling always was, that this music doesn't need a trumpet. Would like to hear a remix without it. Wonderful percussion -and synthwork buried under annoying trumpet. Exeption: Delta Rain Dream

              Very clean pressing & appears to be 180 grams. Still an awesome recording after all these years.

                Still one of the best ambient album of all times.
                Only a few crackles on side 2. Fine pressing, excellent sound quality and very smooth remaster. Well done.
