First of all- for all those interested in the Burial label and are
considering investing in the Artist's / Version LPs -
I headed to the record store the other day where I listened to a short
sample of the first two tracks on the artist's LP. I could tell that
the sound was very clear, but it lacked the overall power of monster
deep compressed bass being pumped through the speakers. Within 20
seconds I was totally convinced that the LP just gave up too much of
what I loved in the burial sound.
If you just want the songs (I like most them! ) on vinyl for a cheap
rate and/or you aren't up for searching out the individual 10"s, get
the LPs. But it just kills me to pay a shade under $40 for two 12"
vinyl's of second generation Burial material with the crust already cut
off. I'd rather keep looking for those 10" records with the magical
pressings, rather than a crowded LP with a weaker press.
Going into the record store with this on my mind, I wasn't expecting
the LP pressing to be exactly the same as the 10", but how close would
it get? This isn't a small time, nickel and dime record label (bless
them !), or some crazy rouge bootleg squadron. Moritz and his
mysterious entourage have proven themselves as a combination of
successful business people, gifted artists, and technological
innovators. Anything is possible with those guys, perhaps they have a
type of vinyl pressing machine that could save me the trouble and money
of shipping the little records in from all over the place? nah...not
this time
happy birthday to me

You forgot to add "the bass is not as deep and the kick is not as hard
on
the LP because the grooves are tighter together and they had to be
adjusted
at the mastering stage because if the bass and drums remained at the
same
level on the LP, the record would skip all the time as the needle
wouldn't
be able to track the groove properly"
or something.
sorry for being rude, I don't mean it, just a lil drunk from last night
still, nowt personal.
I'm gonna terrorize everybody today.
