someone was bringing up kid a earlier, which led me to listen to that for the first time in ages



here you are about to make me do the same for this one. vaguely interested in the deluxe edition coming, but I already have the EU reissue from a few years ago which sounds fab to begin with

im nervous about the remaster like how could you possibly make this album sound more perfect than it already is

so i recall, but then again, so was:



a new television album (2013)

a mbv eps vinyl box (2012/13)

aforementioned massive attack lp

new mbv album (2017/18...2019?)



it's part of the business, but patience is usually rewarded quite handsomely these days

black milk really is a perfect trip hop song, a good balance of being minimal but still very enveloping. i thought the new mezz stuff was an unreleased dub mix not a remaster?

Yeesssss. Black Milk has forever been my fave off of this too. Dark but sooo chilled out.

"how could you possibly make this album sound more perfect than it already is" super legit question, didn't know about the remaster but very apprehensive, this is one of the best sounding albums ever already...

iirc the remaster is going to be the same thing as the 2014 one, but it's on colored vinyl along with the dub mix and the extras, which is the incentive to shell out the money

Ah that makes sense. Sounds more like a label decision then.

"dreamy female vocals, spacey lyrics, deep pulsating baselines, fat downtempo hip hop percussion, drug addled textures, dark brooding atmosphere, epic dj scrubbing finesse, and unique sampling. "



That was beautiful, man.

they re-released this in 2014? damn, slipped by me. in any case, don't hear about too many artists doing a "21 year anniversary" but if there's any album that was re-celebrated when it reached drinking age, this certainly makes a convincing candidate
