Vinyl

I miss my Pioneer & Aiwa dual cassette decks.

Riverside is releasing a blu ray edition in ATMOS surround. I’m not passing that up. I just got my preorder from LasersEdge, hoping to spin it tonight/tomorrow. I was not liking the release Friend or Foe, too poppy sounding very 80s with the synth, it does sound like Ah-ha . I do want them to go back to SLS and Rapid Eye Movement sounds, these extreme changes are not sitting well with me. It seems like they are trying to copy what Steven Wilson did with HCE and TFB......

I got my version 3 days before it was released. Quite like this record already.

Oh that is so exciting. I think it is gonna be a great album. The first 2 singles I enjoyed.

Glad you support lasers edge as well. I try to limit myself buying music off Amazon. I mostly do cd Japan or discogs now. Amazon is such a monopoly. Lol.

Also I watched an interview M. Duda and he says it is an album you can wake up to first thing in the morning to start your day or have a coffee and sit back.
Duda said in the past most Riverside albums are more introspective and reflective and are best listened to at night. :)

I’m definitely more excited to get the new Riverside over the new Metallica album. And it is so great that riverside release there first blu ray Atmos mix on a studio album. That is a big plus for diversity sake.

I've bought a lot there the last 12 years, but in the recent years, I noticed some more overgrading.

But I also offer much lower prices than they ask, it's rare I pay what they want. If they don't take my offer normally I walk..... I have bought M sealed as well.

I don't buy any music from Amazon, I've seen videos on how they pack, sometimes just in a bag!! Nutz...... I buy new records from Tower Records, The InGroove and LasersEdge mainly. Walmart on occasion since their prices are dirt cheap...Used online I only buy from Discogs sellers. I spun the record last night and I do like it, really like side D the two instrumental extras. Landmine Blast and Big Tech Brother and Age Of Anger are excellent. The album is an easy listen......Sound quality wise it's very good, the recording/mix is very good as is usual with Magda and Robert Srzedniccy they do great work.

Excellent to hear. Yeah Robert and Magda record really clean. Nice to hear they haven’t submitted to sh*tty industry trends.

I really hope to have the album by the weekend.
Talk with you soon about it once I get a serious listen in. :)
