What's Spinning

How does the vinyl sound?

My setup is far from audiophile, but great so far!

Other than a defect in my Malibu Ken and a need to upgrade my heavily played OG Labor Days, I can safely say all my Aesop sounds damn good (i haven't listened to my 10th anniversary Skelethon yet, to be fair)

The overall package is pretty great! I've found Aes's last few to be pretty well packaged overall - this one, Spirit World Field Guide and Malibu Ken especially.
 
I'm A/B'ing this for the Hoffman forums - to compare this original pressing to the new-ish Steven Wilson mix. I got this pressing still sealed off Discogs to A/B it to the original UK pressing I have back in 2018 - I think I did that...and now to compare it to the new mix. Even though it's the 2nd time this record has been played, it's got some surface noise, but doesn't really take away from the music all that much.

I'll post what I think after I spin the Wilson mix.
