This morning I have listened to the soundtrack album from "Under the Skin", on vinyl. This was a birthday gift from my brother, together with the Bluray movie.
I have to say that its's fairly dire! Unless you like sub-bassy drum sounds with a badly played violin whilst someone hits a bit of wood for an hour. (Maybe I do, I did happily let it run through to the end). Plus the quality of the vinyl was not the best, it was not quite flat or fully concentric.
And I thought my brother loved me.......
Just made it through another birthday gift, T.Rex's "Electric Warrior", 180g, 2012 remaster.
Most excellent! I love this album. Trouble is, this is brand new "audiophile vinyl", it's about 4mm off being true truly flat, and sounds a bit like a 120kbs mp3, it's really not that good from a sound reproduction quality point of view, great music though. I do have an original 70's copy somewhere, I must did it out for a comparison. I did have a laugh when we got to the last track, "Rip Off", the record actually managed to sum itself up at the end.
