An album that approaches 48 minutes long should be edited as double lp, especially when its halves are so decompensated. Face A has a duration of almost 25 minutes, when the recommended limit is about 17 minutes each side, and 22 minutes AT THE MOST in case of overcoming it. It is very likely that the low gain, which makes the noise of vinyl reproduction too much noticeable in relation to music, is due to this issue. Sadly this is not an isolated case, and I think avoiding this is a lot more priority than editing in a gatefold (which is a bit paradoxical for a single vinyl), or the overrated 180 gr. Better two of 140 gr.

Fair sound pressing, clean sounding, lots of detail in Kate's voice and the wonderful production. very very very quiet though, having to crank up the pre amp up as far as it goes to get it to a listenable volume.

I think, Mrs Tempest, you should record an album with the Fuck Buttons. This would create a nuclear fusion with powerful influence for the next hundred years. But up to then, you wont need them. Your new album is purely genius.

Damn, wake me up if a Tempest x FB collaboration happens. You're right, that'd simply be amazing.

any info on who worked on this? production ? arrangement ? she told me that it's the same guy as on her previous album if I recall that correctly I couldn't find any confirmation of that yet though

Produced and mixed by Dan Carey. It's on the back of the lp cover....

2nd LP by the media-hyped storyteller-genius. More concentrated on the poetry than the first LP. Tracklist follows an AB scheme. A more or less pure telling is followed by a track with groove. I prefer the tracks with groove. The nearly word-only tracks for me are a regress to Anne Clark. Ordered the book to understand all of the lyrics.

This version is US pressing NOT UK/ROW. Caroline/Fiction is UK pressing.
