    I'm quite disappointed with my copy of this record. Not because of the music being bad (it's a great album that I would generally recommend), but because this album as well as the other 2 I got from this label arrived in terrible condition. The vinyl is so noisy that it completely ruins the music, pops and clicks utterly kill ambient music like this. I think it's a disgrace to deliver a product in such a state, I've been trying to clean the records for a week and still can't get rid of all the noise.

    This is a consistent experience I've had with all vinyl albums that I bought from this label. It's possible that I could potentially get rid of all the noise with a cleaning machine, but I don't think that the majority of consumers can easily afford something like that. I sure can't, and I think any pressing that can't be cleaned well enough by a regular person to be able to simply listen to it without clicks and pops throughout the entire album, is simply not acceptable. I really think that sidereal have to work on the quality control of their vinyl pressings, and I would NOT recommend anyone buying this unless they have a cleaning machine that can get rid of all the filth on the records.

    This album in particular I had a pretty bad experience with: my transparent version of this arrived with a deep, audible scratch. So I had to return it and instead got the swamp green version. However, this one also arrived with an imperfection, at least this time it wasn't audible though. I should have sent it back too, but I'm tired of dealing with this and I simply won't buy another vinyl album from this label.

      Swamp Green Variant, beautiful presentation by the label with booklet and pictures.

      Sound is great, better than 24bit lossless on Apple music for comparison, I disagree with the comment below that is a poor sounding record.
      It's silent, flat and dynamic.

        1st pressing and release - black vinyl variant but is actually very dark green translucent Plays OK but sounds terrible Dull flat muted. lacks sparkle poor press, dirty noisy Disagree with comment that sounds OK, record was filthy and needed repeated ultrasonic cleans, played on a very high end system >£250k with Lyra cartridge > £9k
