Barker* – Utility

Wanted to reiterate what daz_power posted. This pressing (160g) is flat, quiet and dynamic — a compliment to the wonderful music.

Is there any discernible difference between the original and repress of this release?

To those wondering what this BioVinyl repress sounds like before purchasing (as I was before I couldn't wait for a review any longer)...... All good to my ears.

Repress on Ostgut! Mis plegarias han sido escuchadas por fin. Venga esos Uruk Hai, os va a pagar 100 pavos vuestra prima la muelles!

The music itself is amazing, definitely an achievement. The mastering lends itself well to vinyl, sounds great.

The pressing is a different matter. audible Non-fill/stitching all over the copies I’ve seen (my original purchase and it’s replacement). Here’s to hoping that if/when it is repressed that they’ll use different pressing plant with better QC.

Un repressito de esto no vendria mal, que los Uruk Hai del Discogs lo estan poniendo por las nubes! :)
A ver si alguien que sepa Aleman lo traduce y se enteran los amiguis de Ostgut!

Top quality album. Vinyl copy sounds much better than any copies of this found on digital streaming services. Definitely a lot more dynamic, a richer, fuller sound that adds to the listening experience. Highly recommended.

I love this record. I have to say the pressing is not the best, lots of noticeable pops and clicks in the quiet parts. I bought this directly from Bandcamp and am a little bummed the pressing is not great but I do love the music.

Excellent trancy tracks on four record sides. Having read about clicks and pops, the records had to endure ultrasonic cleaning before the first spin and played flawless. Helps, when played with equipment able to go down to 20 Hertz and a little bit below ;)

Barkers record is outstanding, but pressing is not quite good, a lot of hiss and crackle on a mint record.
