So Guilherme, my copy is OK but I'd hesitate to say it was great. I very much doubt it's been remastered, but I don't think it was ever supposed to be. I should hedge my comments by pointing out that my cartridges probably need to be replaced, so I'm kind of abstracting how good I think it is relative to other new purchases. I've got some pops on 'Intro' that may or may not occur on all copies, and both Loop 1.5/Catatonic Part 2 sound a bit distorted on the kicks. All-told, it's very listenable/playable given that it's an LP with an emphasis on the 'L' (20+ minutes on two of the sides). I don't think that we could hope for much better given the limitations of vinyl when compressing this much music on to a couple of slabs. It's just those tracks I specifically mention above that sounds lik they could have been pressed or recorded better. Oh, and 'Butterfly' has a few audible pops when the hats drop out, but again, this could just be my copy. That's a bit of a shame since it's my favourite track on the album. :( Anyhow... I'm very happy to have it again. I never knew Loop 1.5 or Catatonic Part 2 existed, so that's been a nice surprise. It's one of those odd releases where the vinyl has more tracks than the CD. Maybe some day we can hope for a remastered 4x-pack where each track gets the loud cut it begs for. I'd gladly pay stupid money for that! And if for some reason it needs repeating, it's a masterpiece. Certainly one of the 10 best techno albums. Every track is solid. It holds together brilliantly as an album. It never tires. I can't believe I haven't heard it in 5 years and didn't replace it sooner. Tristan === http://www.phonopsia.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

Re: (313) Digital Downloads
I've only bought stuff on line from bleep. I don't have an iPod, and I won't ever buy a DRM-protected player. 99% of my digital music listening is at work, from my linux work computer. The reasons I buy on line 1. I can shop at work, and listen immediately. 2. Having something digitized already makes it easier to work with in Ableton or Traktor. 3. I can find stuff on line I can't locally. Everything I can buy locally I do, especially since I've been buying from the same couple of shops for going on 20 years, and I want them to stay in business. As for sound quality, you need better equipment and/or ears that haven't been to as many loud shows as I have to tell the difference between 320kbs MP3s and uncompressed 16 bit audio. When I make MP3s of my own stuff I'm going direct from 24bit masters, and as long as I stay with medium-to-high quality VBRs or 320kbs fixed rate MP3s, they sound the same. I still buy CDs and vinyl, but I'm pretty choosy -- I have an embarrassing amount of CDs and vinyl and I don't listen to even a fraction of what I own. I have to really want something in order to want to store it as a physical object. Ultimately, I think CDs and Vinyl will become even more marginalized, and downloadable formats will be the rule rather than the exception. CDs and Vinyl just don't have the information density modern listeners demand. The issue of artists getting paid for their music is an ongoing problem, back to cassette trading 30+ years ago. I don't think DRM is viable because if you can listen to it, you can defeat it. At some point, artists are just going to have to depend on goodwill and a sense of fair play from their fans in order for them to get paid. There's no way to lock music back into a physical artifact, the way that vinyl and CDs do, and enforcing laws against copying music just amounts to treating your customers like criminals, something that has never worked. And really, the RIAA and MPAA are taking things to a ridiculous extent. No one pays to hear music on the radio, and no one pays to read a book from the library. I've never spoken to an author who didn't want their books in libraries. Having some of your audience get your work for free is just part of the game, isn't it?
Re: (313) Digital Downloads
one thing not mentioned so far: hard disc failure! a hard disc failure in your head might lead to some failure of your external hard disc you use to store your music data! from my personal experience: when i upgraded to tiger on my ibook i had some trouble with photoshop which i thought back then resulted in some missing os9 partition on my hd. stupid and impatient as i am i had the idea to install this os9 part on my external 250 gd hd which left me with a non-accessable disk!!! after searching for help in all macuser forums i finally bought "data rescue" and "disk warrior" for about 100 $ us each... disk warrior helped me recover the files and now i have three quarters of the files with proper names like they used to be an one quarter named like: M01215.mp3, M01216.mp3, M01217.mp3... and whenever i have some spare time i spend it on putting the proper names to the files... still about 1.500 files to be checked... lucky enough i never sold the vinyls and cds - so in the end i'll suceed. got me some 2nd hd for backup in the meantime... you don't usually have those problems with vinyl! regarding the fact that not every one's as stupid as i am (lucky enough) this might be just a small aspect of the discussion. one last off topic remark: it's moodymann on the 7th, akufen on the 8th and a m-nus night on the 22nd of september over here - just in case you're planning some trip cheers roman/berlin Am 22.08.2006 um 20:43 schrieb Jason Brunton: yeah, it may well be a generational thing- my gut feeling is that vinyl will always have a "cool" factor that will appeal to people that will help things tick along for a good while yet- for our particualr music and where club gigs are concerned, I still haven't used anything that comes close to the experience of two vinyl decks and a mixer- in a situation like this I'm not particularly interested in endless choice of tracks that MP3 playback systems offer- I'm happy to ride the uncertaintly of having to play with what you've got to hand and make the best out of what I've got and also, for me, there IS a difference in sound quality between MP3, CD and viny.

Re: (313) new planet e
According to his myspace page, this guy Martin Buttrich (a name almost as good as mine) is production partners with Tiesto on his album. Any chance of a Tiesto release on Planet e? :p I do agree those clips make for a solid release. Also, any one want to cite some examples of this recent wave of boring polished melodic techno that people are saying is not gritty enough?

Re: (313) new planet e
I definitely agree with this, I love melodic techno but feel that the vast majority of stuff over the past few years has become way too smooth and polished - just because it's melodic doesn't mean it can't be raw and gritty as well. I much prefer music to be a bit rougher and with a good bite that all ultra-perfectly produced and squeaky clean. Yeah I completely agree. I think as time has gone on it's got easier and easier to get that polished sound (cheaper equipment and better software). Which is not necessarily a good thing in my book. robin...
