Talk about Coil - Astral Disaster

Zieryn

Side A sounds okay. Maybe a bit flat. Same on side B, but with a few extra staticky moments. Not all of the copies are as bad as some have reported, but they all seem to have some sort of an imperfection. Consider it a risky purchase.

Welen

Very poor sound, it sounds like what you would imagine a bootleg would sound like. Low volume, poor fidelity and lots of crackles. Filed and not in a rush to spin again...what a pisser!

Oveley

Yellow vinyl - absolutely terrible pressing - avoid! Just not worth listening to as is.

Braendo

Really disappointing quality. All kinds of crackle and pop, and strange surface noise, sounds (much) worse than MP3s.

virus

I'm really astonished by the bad quality of the yellow pressing. Surface noise during A-side, louder than the recording. A shame !

FLIDER

Bought a copy today, I really can't complain about surface noise mostly, just a little crackle towards the end of the A side, and a couple very subtle pops on the B side - nothing out of the ordinary for any record. I guess I got lucky. Dynamically I would say it doesn't sound the best, but it's alright - it's good enough that if you're not hyper focused on it's fidelity you'll still get sucked into the music. I saw the bad reviews before I bought this in a shop - the gamble paid off.

watching to future

Just picked up a copy. There are a lot more crackles and pops on this record than I like so I will be returning it. The music is very minimalist, so any little imperfection in the vinyl is made very audible if you have a high res system. They really need to stop pressing on colored vinyl. It's a sales gimmick plain and simple. I really want this album on vinyl and they know that, even to where I'm willing to go against my rule of not to buy colored vinyl and take the chance just to hear this album and shell out $25 only to be let down again. JUST PRESS IT ON BLACK VINYL!!! Translucent is always the worse in my opinion I've returned 50+ records over the last year because of shit surface noise on translucent vinyl, I can care less about color vinyl! I will not be fooled again. And don't feel bad that I didn't get a good copy. I always buy from the same store and have no problem getting my money back. Cheers to those who got a good copy, I ain't gonna try a second time.

Yainai

Colour of vinyl isn't the problem, coloured vinyl pressed well sounds absolutely fine. The issue lies with either poor quality vinyl pellets used for the colour, or a problem with the stampers themselves.

Gralmeena

I just received my copy, and it's nearly flawless as well. I heard an occasional subtle crackle and maybe a light pop or two, but that's pushing it. The music is absolutely mindblowing, I couldn't help but to play it a second time immediately following the first. The mastering sounds good to me also, crisp and clear with lots of space. Sorry to hear that some of you have issues. For what it's worth, I pre-ordered mine from Light in the Attic in the US.

Alsantrius

Very sorry to hear (or read) your comments about this pressing. Luckily, my copy in this beautiful yellow vinyl sounds almost perfect, appart from the normal and very occasional cracks due to possible dust spots on its surface accumulated while playing. So very happy with this release, but stranged about hearing that most of you are experienced problems. I bought it on boomkat, if it could help you.

Maman

does anyone know if the black vinyl version sounds also that bad?

lolike

Ok finally played my yellow copy. Side A is pretty much perfect, but side B is full of terrible, various types of noise. A real shame. Will try clean it properly but from what i can tell at this stage it seems part of the pressing.Perhaps the stampers were not cleaned after the first run of black copies were pressed?

Gold Crown

I bought a couple of black copies as a precaution against dodgy pressing issues and found only one had any real audio issues, and they were pretty minor.Interested to hear what has changed with the yellow pressing now, as it should be the same stampers. perhaps the quality of the yellow vinyl pellets used for this pressing were bad? Will try my yellow one when I can to check.

xander

Audio Disaster - more like it. Please to change title.

Vosho

Now that is funny! Just ordered, so we will see how much free pop and crack I get.

Galanjov

Totally dissapointed with this release. This is now the Worst (new) pressing i own. Cleaned and Cleaned and still the caucophony of crackling is beyond acceptable. My Russian bootleg of The Ape Of Naples sounds like it was crafted by the vinyl gods themselves in comparison to this sh*t! The Muzak is sublime, but i cant even listen to this....a sucker born every minitue people!!!!

Rainbearer

I am disappointed. The music is utter bliss and perfection. This vinyl pressing, however, is not. The stylus sways left and right in the unsteadily cut grooves, which produce reoccurring noise like a stick dragged through sand. Even after thorough cleaning, this doesn't sound truly better.A shame.Just to make sure, I tried another copy at the local record store, which suffered from the same problem, although in different parts of the disc. Will there be a black reissue, too?

Snowskin

Great sales technique! Release an unlistenable vinyl LP that channels the punters towards your limited edition CD!!! Ever felt like you've been had... ???

Ffyan

Hope so! This was a pointless release...if you cant listen to it. Its like being a collector of Broken Cars.....everyone has an opinion on Bootleg Vs Official...but my slightly warped Threshold Bootleg of this album is better than this!!! Not much bass, but at least the crackling isnt louder than Jhon's voice!

Pringles

Hm. That's a shame. Vinyl is to be listened to not to hang on a wall or collect dust on a shelf. Maybe one day there will be another re-release, a decent, listenable one.

SupperDom

The pressing quality is indeed not very good. This is a collectors item only, If you just want to listen to the music, download this from archive.org and make yourself a cd. At least on retailer here in Europe says that there will be a cd version too. So this could solve the problem for those who want the prescription edition as a regular release and not as a download only.
