No two vinyl records are exactly the same, but deficiencies from mastering to press can also leave whole batches sounding sub-par, and in the gravest scenarios have you eschewing some of your otherwise favourite albums. Recorded at Cello Studios, Hollywood, CA, Akademie Mathematique Of Philosophical Sound Research, Los Angeles, CA, and Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, CA. I can’t compare to MOV release as I’ve never heard it but this blows the CD and any streaming out of the water! While the Godfather of techno's productions may have mellowed a touch his relentless approach to releasing records shows no signs of abating. Unconcerned by the fashions of the day, Jeff Mills' Axis label has been releasing a steady flow of minimal music on vinyl since 1992.

Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. We don't mean that vegans won't like it, but rather its intimate production desires a physical medium spinning as close to you as Mitchell's voice appears in the room. The argument that placing a record upon the platter helps prepare the mind for deeper listening is just as relevant when discussing Arca's self-titled album from 2017. That being said, the performances on here from the RATM core of the group are solid, so despite its flaws this is not something I can wholeheartedly trash. There are much worse records especially from this genre in this time period. Probably in the upper tier of radio-friendly post-grunge, considering most of that wasteland was a cesspit.As flawlessly recorded as it is played, it's an impeccably precise rendition of the musical masterpiece, full of the depth and dynamic interest that makes it such a potently emotional powerhouse. The hollow hall acoustics of the St-Eustache Church in which the orchestra was recorded wonderfully exploits the sheer power (especially in Mars) and the warmth and lifting woodwinds (particularly in Jupiter) of the composition, too. This vinyl version, while not being too dynamical, is still much (MUCH!) better than its CD counterparts: I never realised how good, powerful and warm it can sound until today. It's an album that feels suited to the format – it was originally mastered for vinyl, after all – with the rolled off treble offering warmth to Bernard Sumner's often hauntingly sparse guitar lines and Ian Curtis's affecting vocal, and it still comes with the same textured cardboard sleeve. Regardless of any sonic upturn, there is the implication that the effort you’ve made to place a record upon the platter prepares you for deep listening, but also the near hypnotic relationship between the pianist's continuous music and watching your record spin indefinitely that cannot be replicated. It is undoubtedly to do with his velveteen vocal draped stunningly over this nine-song set, but also in the rounded body of its accompaniment and the jagged edges he allows sometimes to cut through.

Given the number of times this truly beautiful album must have been re-cut, it stands to reason by now pressings are pretty much as good as they can be. That certainly rings true for us.Strange, Leon Vynehall's name springing to mind when compiling this list; his inclusion, though, is about more than some half-baked homonym. However modern, though, the music of The Beatles was very much intended to be played on vinyl, and when you place that heavyweight 180gm LP on your table, the crispness and detail of the 2021 mix elegantly marry the bright, lush warmth of a vinyl cut. There are still some genuinely classic songs like “Like A Stone” and the overwhelming “Shadow on the Sun.” Don't be unnerved by Kid A's dimensions, you won't need a turntable that'll spin at 78rpm to play this double 10-inch record; whether it was made this way for aesthetic or simply due to Radiohead being willful, it's really just a 33 1/3rpm vinyl in fancy dress. Fstein said:I guess classical music record don't sound very good?:tearsofjoy:At least Dark side of the moon did not make the list!

It's a scary thing, replacing an over-played record with a brand new press, but doing so with Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures worked a treat for us.

Chris's vocals are high and powerful as ever. Bringing the emotion and sophistication in his voice. Paring up with the remaining members of Rage is just brilliant. That sound is very prominent here, but it works on curating that funk, bass sound that Rage are known for. Amazing energy coming from both the legendary Soundgarden vocalist and the outstanding Rage Against the Machine band. What a fantastic combination, really! Together they created something so energising and adrenaline raising that I must say - listen responsibly! If you're driving while listening, the gas pedal is pushing itself, so be careful and watch the speed. Welcome to Vinyl Week on What Hi-Fi?, in association with Technics. You can find out more about how Technics has been defining turntable culture for half a century and the company's SL-1200M7L Limited Edition turntable. Again haven’t heard MOV copy so I can’t compare to that but in comparison to compressed sounding CD it sounds warmer and more dynamic.

The reason Music For Films makes it to this list though is precisely because we weren't totally enamoured with it before we heard Showell's half-speed version running at 45rpm; the sonic upturn in all from detail to dynamics, though admittedly often subtle, for us gave the music new dimension. I never thought Chris Cornell was the answer for the "new Rage Against the Machine"--really, could you imagine Chris doing political rap (almost as hard to imagine... pardon the Pearl Jam ref... as him doing mainstream r&b with Timbaland)? As the head of a 70s arena nostalgia band, he earns a passing grade in his middle age, though... even if barely. The record sounds like glass. It really needs a bass-boost from your stereo system or you might feel let down (even at high volume) - it misses bass, warmth, sounds like a CD-mastering. Recorded at Cello Studios, Hollywood, CA; Royaltone Studios, Burbank, CA; Studio Litho, Seattle, WA; Studio X, Seattle, WA; Akadamie Mathematique Of Philosophical Sound Research, Los Angeles, CA.Edit: Bumping this up to a 3, because while I still endorse my prior review the fact is that there are too many guilty bangers on here to leave this as a straight down the middle average album. It's not excellent and I don't return to it often, but this is enjoyable if you don't take the lyrics too seriously and just sing along. Kind Of Blue is one of those works that as good as defines its genre, and in many ways it feels peculiar to play it on anything other than vinyl. Legal [At] – King, Holmes, Paterno & Berliner, Ziffren, Brittenham, Branca, Fischer, Gilbert-Lurie and Stiffelman The vocal performance is something out of this world, I always love to sing along to try and hit the same notes, which is not easy, while the vocalist makes it look effortless, always leaving me impressed. The guitars and the riffs are top-notch and feel so grand, you can easily tell these are the same guys who performed RATM. It does sound fantastic, though. There's a boldness to the sound that is strangely euphoric, despite the album's often subdued phrasing, and a luscious quality to electronic and acoustic instruments alike that creates a genuinely immersive soundscape.
