haha i was just about to make a thread on this, havent been on in a bit.

I got my copy this morning and had a listen before work. Straight away compared to the other vinyls recieved all three records from inner city limits sounded dull.

Lots of bass on all the tracks almost as it they'd done the mixing on really crappy moniters and over compencated. As for the mids and highs they came through quite and muffled. Turning these up on the mixing just enough to what sounds in my opinion "normal" then brough on some slight distortion.

In short the whole albulm of amazing songs sounds as if I'm listening to it from another room. An my systems fairly descent and needles are in good nick.

I read somewhere when Silkie announced his "double album" project that one would loosely represent 'day' and the other one 'night'.

Anyone know if this is actually true? If it is, I reckon it's not unreasonable to assume vol. 1 is the 'day' album. I absolutely love it, and am VERY interested in hearing a "clubbier" variation on the silkie style.

If that's true then yeah I would agree with you 100% that it would be the 'day' album unless the next one goes full bore cliff richard summer holiday style on us all

Fair enough, thanks for that...sounds reasonable. However, on my (and I know a lot of other people's) copy, it's not just the third disc that sounds wank but the whole lot. the sound quality of the whole album is such that I could never play any of the tunes in a set because they'd stick out quite obviously and on a big system would just sound terrible. Is there anything that can be done about that?

Yup Im with you..all three plates have a fucked song, for me its the one closest to the centre on the B side, Beauty, Quasar and turvy.

Received this today and it plays fine from start to finish.
Just invest in the CD then think about the vinyl once its been re-pressed which could take a few more weeks or even longer.

@ anyone who bought their copy at Redeye: Our supplier is going to send all our customers replacement copies of the 12" which is badly pressed. This will happen soon and we will put a post on the site to let people know when we have the replacements. Deep Medi will have to get plate 3 re-mastered, which will take up to 3 weeks.
