    Great record loved It since It came out. Sonics on this press are amazing for how It was recorded. Detailed highs warm lows. Has a nice soundstage. Vocals placed really nicely. Pretty clean and silent pressing no groove noise. Flat. Pressed centered.

    I’m using a Lyra Kleos SL-> vpi prime 21 10” gimbal -> Sutherland tz-vibe -> rogue tempest II super magnum x2 horizontally driving Martin Logan Eslx’s.

      Too much bass on this mastering, lack of mid-range, and lo-fi sound. It sounds like an old tape and also some pops exists. It is better to this album digitally.
      Not recommended this pressing.

        Fantastic album and this pressing is lovely. Sounds full, smooth yet crisp.

          One of the best trip hop albums of the 90s. Solid!

            Is there another post version? Mine comes without hypersticker and without code. Maybe is a different edition. Sound is great, but vinyl is plenty of back ground noise. I cleaned it several times, but no result. Don't buy it!

              Snagged my copy from my local shop yesterday. Great pressing. Perfectly flat, no pops or cracks. Bass is heavy. Love this album to death.

              Edit: my copy came with the plain 180g vinyl hype sticker and no code.

                The quality of this pressing is very nice indeed, Morcheeba are on top form with a release that is a counterspell to today's stressful way of life. NY is a fast city, but this album will make you relax and dream big. Thanks guys!
                One of the top 1998 album, a golden year for music!
                Essential...

                  Amazing album especially for chilling. Must have for anyone wanting a solid Ambient album.
