    Fascinating album. Excellent pressing.

    Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten.

      Vinyl version Is very full of dectails.
      The sound is open, no rumors in quite ages and this is relevant because the silence is almost used as a added musical instrument.
      Anyway, as read in the other's reviews, It's not really made for a careless listening, obviously.

        Electrifying stuff.

        To my ears a sweet pressing which feels very spacious, but I haven't A/Bed with digital.

        It's also fairly quiet which is important with many ages on this record. I have noticed crackle here and there but I think it probably just needs a good rub down ;-)

          Well, it's not an easy album! He didn't make easy albums in his later phase. But what he did make was something very interesting if you are bored of hearing the same chord sequences and ideas regurgitated. It is not easy listening and you are challenged, but it can be very rewarding to enter Scott's world.

            A very limited edition of the 2XLP comes with a piece of original artwork...
