Vinyl

lol wrong thread

Yup Pallas Pressing, very long history of quality vinyl work by them.

And now LZ III on the analog deck....a tad less beefy but still head and shoulders over any CD version I have. The detail and clarity is pristine and the visualization of instrument placement is freaky good.

Just picked up LZ II and III from my local record store (gotta support local business!!). I have read everywhere LZ II was really good, but that is an understatement! This issue is brilliant, outstanding, LZ beefy analog bass and drums are back!

Oh yes, Brave on vinyl..........missed out both times.
Same goes with Anglagard, I would love Hybris but it goes for around 500 bucks......(did get Epilog for $30 in 2002, and Viljan's Oga, which is still available for $40 at Syn-Phonic). But Brave.......

^ I think Side II is the best song wise for this type of music...more bluesy, rock. It will get minimal spins for sure but when I am in that mood, probably.

What is real nice is the full analog sound from tape to vinyl, no dumba$$ digital compression and it was mastered by Bob Ludwig.

You can find them on ebay and such but people want a pretty penny for them, as they should. I once found an original vinyl pressing of Brave, used of course for about US300.00 but would never pay that much for vinyl. The next year is when Marillion decided to remix Brave and reissue it...I should have bought two copies. I have it dubbed to 1/4" reel to reel for archive purposes and listen to that usually to save my vinyl version.

Well if Tom's out of luck on BRAVE (Vinyl) he can always buy a great DAC and call it day.
. Works for me. .
But yeah Jośe, those Marillion albums in vinyl are pretty sought after.

So yesterday I received my copy of Jack White's Lazaretto (Ultra LP). If you did not read up on it, this album has a lot of vinyl "gimmicks" included. I am not a JW listener but I wanted this album for its gimmicky stuff.

Here is a YT of the stuff on the vinyl....also this album was recorded to tape and all analog mastering. I will say the sound quality is very good, nice and warm with ZERO compression! Wish other artists would do this.

Anyhow its a cool album, good sound.

BIG Eloy fan here . Don't have this Live Reincarnation but have pretty much everything else ( not 'Destination' though). Friggin' GREAT band.
Pretty big on Nektar as well. My first Nektar albums were the Sunday Night At The Roundhouse, and Remember The Future from waaaaay back in June '89. I do remember significantly coz I got up to 'no good' around this time, and these albums (and Sabbath's debut) were the aural pleasure for that weekend. Plus it was my birthday !!
Getting back to Radiation, it is a somewhat 'simpler' album from the gang, but is still enjoyable. Sometimes h tries too hard and is over-emotional in his vocal delivery, but it just seems to work with the band. Mark Kelly does a pretty good job with his synths on the album in question. My least fave Marillion is Holidays In Eden. I have it, but not listened to it since it was released (maybe 3 times, tops, and never went back). The next one, Brave, hit me for six. BRILLIANT.....(still don't have that one on vinyl though...)

Another vinyl gem to discuss....This one always amazes me at how good it sounds even today. The clarity and placement of instruments within the soundstage is excellent.
The rhythm guitar on side I is fantastic and the cymbal ride tapping is super sweet, the vocals are so nice too.

Of course another RL in the deadwax...the guy is a genius at his craft.
