Anorak question: 45 or 33 rpm?

45 rpm to maximise the sound quality...

Rob

This both looks and promises to sound wonderful.
But...

I do rather think it is an opportunity missed to see TWO versions of He's A Liquid included, especially as Gazelle Twin has already covered the track (beautifully, on Exponentialism).

Speaking purely from my own personal opinion, I would have preferred to see Xeno & Oaklander working on a different Metamatic track - perhaps Plaza or Touch & Go...

Sorry, but we do welcome all opinions and thoughts here

That's a good point. Perhaps the artists chose which tracks to cover - it'd be interesting to know, and if they did - ask why they made those particular choices.

Great idea - I've asked if they'd all be willing to answer a few questions about this release.

Well, well. Wrangler covering "He's A Liquid? That's a must to have; not that I expect the rest of it to be chaff by any means! This looks like a great sequel to "Exponentialism" but that one came on CD, sigh. Okay. You've got me. I'll order this wasteful, decadent, inconvenient 12" made by former soviet bloc sweatshop labor any way. How I am already missing the CD era terribly.

Cheers - as I'd hoped.
