For what it's worth, i've got both Alpha Centauri and Atem on CD, and very recently purchased the Alpha Centauri/Atem double vinyl on Virgin from 1976. It's in pretty impressive condition given both discs are now 32 years old.DSJR wrote:Yeah, a lot of truths in that, but no comment on how good decent digital recordings and discs are, especially in the classical music domain.bigmoog wrote:http://www.vinylrecords.co.uk/2004/09/c ... truth.html
Regarding mastering, you guys CAN'T tell me that ATEM sounds better on original OHR vinyl compared to the current TD remastered CD, you just CAN'T! because it doesn't. The LP sounds muffled and "small" by comparison (I haven't bought the remastered Zeit yet, but I shall at some point!)
As for Phaedra and Rubycon on LP, forget it, excepting the wonderful sleeves of course. The sound is thuddy, bland and lacking compared with the Simon Heyworth CD remasters (although he got the track point spectacularly wrong on Pheadra and missed the handclaps on Ricochet pt2).
NAH, I'll stick to me CD's I think for now, 'cos they give me more of the music........
