The album is a classic, the music sounds crisp on vinyl and CD.

It's not about quality, its about musical content and hitting them frequencies (to which he doesn't disappoint in this album).

I don't understand why anyone should feel cheated in anyway because some are MP3's

No need to be anal about it

Kromestar is a BADMAN and the album is a classic. And to top it off, the next album is gonna blow people away.

End of.


I love the tunes. I know about musical content because I've been playing music my entire life.

When something sounds like a preview from redeyerecords or the rinse fm stream, I'm not going to be happy.

Well that's just it - HE hits the frequencies, and then the label uses MP3's to master the album with and all the frequencies HE hit get weakened and taken out... Bit unfortunate really...

Lovin the album though, content wise... Really really good stuff indeed.

The last ooooh I dunno 20 or so tunes I bought on vinyl all sounded shit. Poor pressings, poor mastering, no top end.


Like ive said many times before if you can afford to cut dubs fair play to you but im sticking with CD's

mp3 business

I think the album is bliss, Great sounding Tracks and unless you have supersonic hearing I don't think the MP3 thing would bother you to much.

Don't get it twisted kulture - when I say quality is not an issue here it applies to this Album as it sounds great and stands up to other tunes that have been mastered from wavs (Executive Steve!) and also people can make great tunes with that Lo-Fi sound. Before it was pointed out no-one would know any better therefore I find that trying to make an issue of this is a bit anal.
When I make tunes OF COURSE quality is an issue lol (please don't dissect this to make me sound like an idiot lool)

Music is music. It Doesn't sound like a Rinse FM stream or preview from Redeye Records so why feel upset with anyone involved in this great album.

The original post was an observation but then people try and jump pon bandwagon and post negative comments when really and truly, it is what it is (which is a great album) :)

fuck the quality of the sound, the quality of the music is the real issue surely? think theres about two 'okay' tunes. the rest is piss poor imo. shame, used to buy loads of his earlier stuff. deep medi bits etc.

it might sound fine i've not heard it, but WHY would you master from MP3?

what possible reason is there to not just get a .wav with more information in it and use that?

you'd surely wanna start with the closest possible file to what you've made in the studio, not something that's been through an MP3 encoder before it even gets to the mastering engineer?

not that I'm saying that's what's gone on here, but just "why would you?"

Cool man. That your opinion.
The Album is called My Sound which means it's....his sound - not like anyone elses sound. People like it, and some people may not. the former is what matters and it just so happens that alot of people are feeling it. I'm sure - In fact I KNOW that he is gonna come wid sum stuff that u r gonna want to get your hands on in the very near future.

that's fair enough, i'll still be checking his stuff out as i know he can knock up some absolute belters. just not my cuppa at all the lp though.

lomax - its my opinion. get off your high horse...

um... calling something "piss poor" is not an opinion is it? It's just an insult.

Not to worry. By saying that "it's not about quality" you've let everyone know that you are a complete cretin anyway. See what I did there? I qualified my insult.

You really think so?


I rather enjoyed the album I must say, thought it was deadly in fact; ideas- and vibes-wise much of it was very much the equal of his tunes on Deep Medi...

oh fuck off, i dont abide to all this fucking 'scene' etiqeuette. if i don't like a piece of music i'll say so, it's a message board you prat, it's where people share opinions on things. and idon't feel obliged to go into precise detail everytime i have a negative opinion about something :roll:

imo, the album has no tunes anywhere near as good as his earlier stuff. shockwave ep etc. think he's gone way off the mark recently. thought the hatcha collab lp was dull as well.
I'll fight anyone who disagrees.
