enki Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'm listening to Fenix Funk now, and it certainly compares favorably to the recording on Chosen Lords. I haven't heard the original record with the label, so I can't say how the two versions compare. In any case, after having listened to MP3s in my car for so long, it's quite refreshing to hear the vinyl again. P.S. Although I guess it is a shame both that the tracks start so far from the outer edge of the disc and that they aren't cut at 45 RPM. Still, I have no problems with the sound quality.

YEK Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 hmm. my record just sounds crackly though. like it's twenty years old but it's not you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perunamuusi Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 picture discs are usually a bit crappy in my experience my analord 10 got warped before i got it home (left it by girlfriends lamp) if it was 45rpm the needle would definitely leave the record everytime it went over the little hump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 My picture disc copy didn't really sound much worse than my chunky heavyweight version of Analord 10 which probably means that I need a new record player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ~ism Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The picture disc didn't really sound much worse than my chunky heavyweight version of Analord 10 which probably means that I need a new record player. i'd say. pic discs are crap as a general rule of thumb.

Josso Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 No, mine was fine but then again it's only been played like 5 times max (rest of my analords are like played 2 times ever, I have them all on CD-R) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xy_politics Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 is it me or does it sounds like total crap? it totally sounds static and fuzzy. like is this what we get for not investing in the super expensive version>? Yes. I bought two copies and they both sound really, really bad, and pointless to play when the Chosen Lords cut, and even the MP3 files of the original, sound so much better. So, because other people have said theirs is fine, means one of two things: They're mistaken, and just have crappy turntables/ears or Rephlex pressed too many copies from the same stampers, and later copies in the pressing run are degraded. I've put up a clip of the beginning of fenix here, is this the kind of sound you're getting? This was recorded from a pretty high-quality rig.

Caretstik Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Mine sounds a bit ropey, certainly compared to the rest of my Analords. The AFX logo lends itself perfectly to a picture disc though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinicalypse Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 you listen to this thing? i swear it's the closest thing to an official aphex twin poster you'll get (i think warp/sire did all of the promo ones as i'm pretty sure the concept of someone having an aphex twin poster on their wall sickens the guy) is this picture disc. i bought a few of them and give them out to special people. TARDS FOR TWIN, MANG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xy_politics Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 you listen to this thing? well, I would do if it sounded decent i swear it's the closest thing to an official aphex twin poster you'll get Don't forget the Windowlicker calendar! Anyhow, I bought a kit and made a clock out of one of mine. Then it broke, stopped working, so now the time is always 3:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AOOproductions Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 LOVVE the look. don't love the sound that much Alas, I have came across this thread. Mines sounds kinda flat. not too much depth to the sound. Ive compared it to the chosen lords CD which I play on the same system and I think the CD sounds a little crisper. And my system is very good. But boy do I love watching that AFX symbol spin around and around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Coloured vinyl typically is of poorer quality than regular vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kenneth172 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 yeah. the coloured (pale blue) version of Apjhex Twin Classics is poor sounding. Also, the TB303 puicture disc ain't tpoop hot weither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Helper ET Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Perhaps the degraded quality was the intention...kind of a different way to hear the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaksta303 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Perhaps the degraded quality was the intention...kind of a different way to hear the songs.
