    Dead quiet, with dynamic sound. Im not getting any noise at all. Excellent pressing. Does the album justice.

      Great album, great music with a great dynamic. Unfortunately, the pressing has a lot of crackles and pops, but the first version was swapped out, and the second version isn't much better, despite the wash. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to live with it.

        Great album, good pressing, great dynamics. But I'm sad to say that side 2 has surface noise, side 1 has not. Maybe it needs a good cleaning, but I don't have a good cleaning machine.
        The music is fantastic, something that needs a lot of listening to really appreciate.

          Perfect pressing. No noise, no pop. Nothing.
          Master and mix are excellent

            Crystal clear pressing. No issues with my copy. Superb record with my favorite theme: space. Great departure from his usual stuff without sacrificing his iconic sound that still contain vocal harmonies and Bowie-esque lullabies. Excellent work from the included session musicians that are allowed free reign where it fits. I'll be listening to this one a lot.

              This is a fantastic pressing. Dead silent and clear. Steven Wilson‘s music deserves a high quality pressing like this one.
              But in the end of the last track there are weird distortions. Gonna send it back.
