    Flawless pressing of one of the best dub techno album of all time. Recommended

      A true masterpiece from beginning to end. Bought 2 copies as soon as I received the Google Alert that I eagerly awaited for over a decade. One of the best discoveries I encountered along with the Maurizio series. If my vinyl collection ever gets destroyed, this is one of the first series that’ll I’ll replace.

        Good pressing. C2 sounds pretty good at 45 RPM ;-)

          the sonics are superb here, the levels are, indeed, LOW - so in the end I digitized a "wet-play" of my copy to keep the records NM for future use (if any)
          if you got a "lucky" clean copy you can boost the gain knob up and the s/n will stay fine, but any dirt or hairline will stick out thru the signal so I'd still make a digital backup for the 2x12" so that you can enjoy this version years after the 12"s are dead.

            Outstanding record, no need to say more because everybody here knows what a gem it is. Repress is a little quiet indeed but if you gain it up a little it’s punchy, clear and crisp. Nothing to worry about.

              Quiet pressing or just a record that was produced with a muffled/submerged sound as part of its aesthetic? I think the latter given that the digital version has the same sound. Excellent record either way, happy with my copy.

                Noisy pressing.
                Especially continious clicks second track side D and loud clicks innergroove side A.
                Shame !

                  sounds the same as the 2008 CD remaster, incredible pressing, if a tad quiet.

                  A2 and both side D tracks are total standouts, this still sounds fresh after 25 years!!

                    It sounds fine to my ears, but I believe there is a mistake in the sides -
                    My side B is a single track, while Side C is two tracks.

                      Not sure if other people are finding this pressing very quiet?? Shame as its a masterpiece
