    Sound quality is quite good. A few crackles here and there, but that's more to age and previous storage with my personal copy than an issue with the pressing itself. A must have record in my book.

        Another great album from David Sylvian. Although this album is a little more subdued compered to his earlier releases, I still enjoyed the downtempo, melancholy tunes on this disc. Own virtually all his solo out put and the entire Japan anthology also. has put out.
