    A new album to me this one, which has had some very good reviews. My initial impression after one listen is that musically it is very good, I like his previous "Love and Hate" album very much as well. One thing I would say is the mixing production seems to be a little bass emphasised, I wondered if this was due to mixing being done to fit more into the digital arena, but on several tracks it is quite evident that there is plenty of dynamic range and it is not entering into the wall of sound syndrome. Has anyone else any views on this album on vinyl. I think I will have a listen on Qobuz to it to see if it sounds the same.

    I steered away from the vinyl version as everyone I know who purchased this was disappointed with the quality.

    Update to below, so I have had a listen on Qobuz at hi-res to several tracks through RPI/HifiBerry HAT to Caiman Seg DAC, and actually it sounds subtly better on vinyl, the bass is there on both, I think it is purely down to the mixing. It actually sounds better on the second listen to the vinyl, there is actually some seriously low bass on some of the tracks, the low-level you feel.

    It is a very good album.
