Candyflip Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 23 minutes ago, Y B said: Moving on from techno music, some poppy soft rock from Keane. I always have a soft spot for Keane, but only for their first and second albums though, much like Coldplay's first and second, a bit of a guilty pleasure! I have been waiting for this reissue for many years but all the reports on Discogs confirmed this a shitty reissue! I am glad that I took a leap of faith, this reissue while not excellent sound wise, it is a quite enjoyable one. To me, there are some tinny upper registers but there are also some punchy lovely bass, this has much better depth and sounded more dynamic than Hopes And Fears' last year reissue. That was loud and flat, quite unpleasant to listen to, but to many on Discogs, they thought Hopes And Fears sounded excellent, I was so disappointed when I got it, there you go, trust my own ears! I'm a fan of the band in the same way - the early stuff is best, although I do quite like 'Strangeland'. I have both re-issues too and though not stellar, I'm so glad to have them - the originals are still rid-onc-ulous prices... These will certainly do for now.

Guest Y B Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Now something mellow... The Cinematic Orchestra- Ma Fleur Initially, I only listened to this because of That Home with Patrick Watson. I grew fond of it over the years and it really has grown on me so I have always wanted this on vinyl but it was really expensive on Amazon UK for £36. The reports on Discogs also weren't positive for this a very noisy pressing! A few weeks ago the price dropped to £19.90 so another leap of faith paid off! What an excellent pressing, orchestration sound hi-res and analogue, the double bass is especially thrilling... quiet too except a few light ticks, and so good to hear That Home finally sounding superb... Now I understand why the price of this vinyl was so high, it comes in a sturdy hard tip-on box which includes 11 artwork photograph card inserts. Not that I wanted this but for £19.90, it's a steal!

Guest Hensa Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Enjoying the latest Beck on red vinyl - Colors. Enjoyable set of tunes and pressing is excellent. Has anyone tried the 45rpm release of this? The 33rpm is very very good and interested to know if the 45 is better again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Battles - MIrrored first up this arvo. Nice sound. It's funny how a particular part of a song can get you to buy an album. I'd heard a few singles off the album and didn't mind them, but the ending to Tonto finally convinced me to buy it. The fact that I can remember that bit of information is probably why my life is so ****. They weren't bad live either. Then something a *bit* heavier with YLVA. I really hope these guys tour up here again. Damn good album and was awesome to see them live. https://ylva-tl.bandcamp.com/album/m-e-t-a The beers are flowing, so I'm sure I'll be annoying you all later.

scuzzii Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 To start the day off Nils Frahm - All Melody Bit of woofer wobble in first track. Not sure if that's what others have experienced, apart from that hiccup, quiet and great SQ from track 2 onwards. Edit- and some funny distortion on the piano track 1 side 2. But track 2 completely clear of it.. strange. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
