Love early Tangerine Dream, but wouldn’t say more interesting than music referenced above. Give these bands a solid listen if you haven’t, they are seriously talented and deserve some recognition IMO.

In other words, they’re milking the fans with outtakes and remixes. All the remixes that they’ve done over the last 20 years have been utter garbage.

I’d much rather see them focusing on new music – which they’re doing a pretty nice job on – and respecting the band’s legacy. Vinyl releases, like the Thief and Sorcerer releases, are a good way of keeping the music available as it was originally intended.

SEVEN unreleased CDs plus some 5.1 remixes by Steven Wilson (Phaedra, Ricochet and an unreleased 1974 studio album) + large format book. Covers 1973-1979.

Well the nice thing is you can purchase the vinyl to support the artist and still receive high quality digital too. That is what I prefer, but it’s great to listen to the vinyl on special occasions.

Anther shout out to Gel-Sol and it’s label (Verses Records) for investing in that project. Much love was put into that record, I think it’s excellent.

Now its all on CDs, HDs and flash drives. I loved the low-order distortion and compression that gave the vinyl copies their character. Problem is, no matter how careful you are, the vinyl will pick up dirt, skin flakes and little oops places where someone put a sticky finger on the disc. Add to that more serious scuffs & scratches and that glory starts to fade. I prefer my music free of pops, clicks and sudden skips, thanks. I also like digital because its cool to hear a fly cough in the back of a jazz club. Organic!

Horsehead Bookends is soooooo good. Somewhat reminiscent of the Irresistable Force’s Flying High album.

They’re not great about meeting their release dates, but they have eventually delivered on everything I preordered.

While your entitled to your o’s, your quest to make your apple overlords the end of all creativity is getting rather over played. Jobs didn’t even do that. Find enjoyment.

Do you know if it’s going to have any extras?

Supposedly TD composed the soundtrack as long pieces of music, and then the director picked a few bits and pieces to use in the film. And that’s why Sorcerer is so choppy, with everything fading out after two minutes .

I’d love to hear what they originally did.

That’s what so great about the state of music these days – you can have it both ways.

You can put it on your phone and listen to it wherever you like or you can listen to it on a great system and hear it in all its glory.

I’d hate to turn my favorite music into Muzak, though. There’s still something magical about putting on a record or CD and really listening it.

Vinyl demands I listen to it in the most limited of situations, most often a static environment, with too many physical limitations and conditions. My first Walkman allowed me to take my music anywhere I could go. Years later, as a landscape photographer hiking across bumfuck everywhere in all weather conditions my mobile devices allow for auditory/visual experiences vinyl will NEVER ever give me. Just doing everyday life stuff, the ability to listen to my music on devices that are for the most part extremely mobile, super convenient and pretty damn affordable is priceless and adds to the quality of my life. But, TBF, maybe if I was unemployed living in my parents basement or I was 14 again i’d have the time and luxury it would take to sit and listen to my imagined awesome vinyl collection, My real CD collection is well over a 1000. They have become an archive, stuff I rip samples from, and just a physical collection of songs that I always end up putting on my much appreciated mobile devices. JMO’s.
