    An excellent release. Beautiful music, outstanding sound quality. Definitely a discovery in music for me.
    A couple of clicks and rustles on B2, otherwise - dead quiet surface.

        This is a work of art. There's no other words to describe this album and other work by Bicep.

        The press I own is sounds outstanding on my system and puts other records to shame in of quality of sound.

        Album is 10/10. Takes you on a journey, definitely a more mature & grown up version of the 90s trance scene.

          Fantastic pressing, fantastic mastering of this brilliant album. Must buy.

            The sound on this thing is unbelievable! As good as any audiophile press I own. The vinyl is also ridiculously quiet too without a clean. Mastered by the same people that master Pink Floyd! 10/10 sound. Listening in $2000 headphones there is no drop in quality between a AAA Chili Peppers album mastered by Bernie Grundman and this. Remarkable sound

              Pressing sounds very nice. Small amount of clicks in the quiet parts but it’s not bad.

                I never really listened to Bicep but I'd run across them on mixes or see their names around. That's an indictment on me, not on them, it's just hard to keep up with all the new dance music, even when it's a big artist/group. Anyway, solid album with a bit more of an IDM feel than I expected. B side reminded me a lot of Breakage's dubstep releases and Rever is just a massive song that demands to be played out on a big system.

                No doubt this would go off in a party but it's also really solid living room music too, and I mean that in a good way.
