Edited one year agoPhenomenal pressing. So dynamic and clean. I have all 3 Fontaines LP’s and this one is the best sounding one. Not that the other ones are bad but this sounds so good. -
Loud and clean straight out of the jacket. Great pressing. Definitely can hear more in the mix compared to the digital counterpart -
I have the blue pressing. It was dirty straight out the cellophane. Sounds good after a clean, way better than it’s digital counterpart, only a little quiet.
-
I have a copy of pressing variant 5. Absolutely no issues with it, sounds great. Vinyl is flat and centered with almost no surface noise. Washed it professionally before first listening as I do with all new records. -

My copy sounds great. No issue with surface noice. A bit warped perhaps 🤔, but many records are now. I think they need to call in the guys who where active during the 70s and 80s in the pressing plants. They need to educate the guys who are doing it now.

This is a better sonic pressing than Dogrel, but it’s not up to the mark that Optimal and Pallas has set in the last decade. It’s a quiet record, not surface noise quiet, but as in the music isn’t loud. Thus it needs to be turned up. This accentuates the existing surface noise that is there.
Bottom line: it’s a completely listenable pressing as luckily the album is mostly loud. But if this were say Neu it would be impossible.
It’s worth buying but I imagine if this is ever reissued with an Optimal pressing I will toss this and buy that one.
It’s such a good album too. Why go cheap on the vinyl in 2020? Compared to Black Midi or Squid it’s shit when it should be so easy to match it. Same studio. Same mastering. Just use for vinyl. -
My black vinyl non-gatefold single record version is not 45 rpm like is written up here. No other option matches.
-
The disk was very very dirty (filled with paper sleeve parts)
I had to clean it twice and after that, little scratches remained
Therefore, it pops now and then -
A lot of release options on this one however the standard black lp sounds great and I think it’s actually a better record than their first
