I've had alot of issues with MOV pressings. This bought from just under 2 years was full of crackle and gunk. Calmed it right down with several washes but the compound and pigments left dirty. Anyway Time for Chillout

This finally turned up after paying for it on the 1st June. 1 of the masters that burned down in the UMG fire in 2007 so it's from digital masters and Cut by Levi at Blackbelt and pressed at RTI to 3 sides instead of the old 4 and 5 bonus tracks.

Didn't put this away and thought why not only to discover an inexcusable amount of paper dust so it's just drying before I play for only it's 2nd time.

Solid house tunes alot like deadmau5. Remember hearing the Puzzle EP years ago but this is more of a blind listen.

The first EP got reissued on thick grooves for 33rpm. The biggest problem with the first album is it's too compressed.

Finally got the replacement for the first side since buying it in February after I sent a snotty email to MoFi sounds so much better. Actually my favourite album of theirs as it just reminds me of being on holiday.

Never got around to playing this. Discovered they had to remix and remaster this as the original was junk. Only took them 20 years.

Bit late to the 15th Anniversary party in this one. But to be fair it's my favourite @chemicalbrothers.bsky.social album and I play it every few months. Masterclass from a new studio at the time.

After the DJ set last night I had some ones that didn't quite fit the 90s. This from 2001 . I could have said it was recorded 1998 and 2000 that it counted. But still I play this enough in my other sets but it slams at home on the headphones

The last one to be listened to because I already have the original which was also mastered by Miles Showell before he moved to Abbey Road. So it's a interesting compare of the same guy with different tools. Less wax cut on the new version but sounds better.

Underworld - Barking

Happy 30th Birthday to this masterpiece. This original pressing was a bargain found in the local. I was 8 years old when I heard this and it became part of my musical culture instantly.

3rd time lucky with this? First copy was warped and clicky. 2nd was clicky on side C. Side C on this one is fine. 2nd ones A and B are fine. If D is fine then at least I have one working copy. Usual Quality Control from GZ Canada.

A record I've neglected until discogs randomly picked it out. Would sound mega on a 2 LP but like most that came out around this time it's trapped on a single LP a little too much a side.

Starting off Monday correctly. Trying to show someone the Analogue Productions 2x45rpm issues are worth the money. This is probably my best sounding record.
Wish they did more rather than MoFi putting it into DSD
