Personally i find Josh T's voice or delivery gets a bit too plaintiff/strident on a couple of tracks but overall i enjoy the album. Cheers Ticc I brought the Black Vinyl copy and found it noisy and not so great so returned it, then looked for the Orange copy (which you can still pick up from time to time) and found it way better. Also has the extra tracks on it. https://www.discogs.com/The-Teskey-Brothers-Half-Mile-Harvest/release/12853716 I picked my copy up from Amazon US last year.

Janjuggler Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Hi All, 25 minutes ago, Full Range said: What did you think of the remix Just want to compare with my mini review As with previous Steven Wilson remixes there, to me, sounds like the vocals have been slightly muted, put a little more into the background ?, and there is a little more emphasis on the guitar, which with Robert Fripp is not a bad thing, overall I think it sounds cleaner and brighter, probably because of the ? guitar emphasis. And a third King Crimson before going to lunch, Red Edited March 8, 2021 by Janjuc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...mine is black vinyl but doesn't seem to state where pressed? It references Ivy League Records (IVY434) produced in 2019. Anyways on the weekend i'll have a close listen and report back.

MoveD Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Dungen Ta Det Lugnt 2016 Reissue Fantastic Swedish psych rock. Ta Det Lugnt is their 3rd album from 2004. Excellent sq. One of the many great sounding GZ reissues. This one sounds like it has been special mastered for vinyl, warm & analogue like.

MoveD Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Frazey Ford Indian Ocean 2014 Jazzy & chilled - “swing with a mellow neo-soul beat enlivened by buttery vocals". I think I prefer this to her lastest U Kin B The Sun but both albums are wonderful. Great sounding Pallas pressing too.
