RIP Kentaro Miura

Really impressed with this package

I woke up early this morning and threw on some ED2

This was on the table last night. Forgot how much I really like this score

Mario Kart Double Dash. This finally arrived 2 months after everyone else received their copies. It baffles me when boot labels don't ask one of the hundreds of talented artists who buy their shit to design a better jacket for them. This just has a rainbow gradient on the back with poorly laid out text. I need to compare some of the songs with the originals. A few seem too fast. At least it sounds better than his Wind Waker boot

Nice spins inks and ocelott

So this finally arrived the day after Kentaro Miura's passing.

Sad to hear he died so young and suddenly. Reading the manga is now high on my to do list.

Did a little comparison and a clear improvement in sound quality with this release.

Looks like we ordered the same variant. Mine arrived this week as well along with Kickboxer but I haven't had a chance to listen to them. I have a few hours this morning that I hopefully can get a few spins in.

Curious to see how you find it sounds compared to the non audiophile release inks, I was impressed.

Nice grab, fellas. I probably would have picked one up, but I completely spaced the drop.

I had some time this evening to do some comparisons, I compared every track on side A which is A, B and first track of C on the new release. Overall I think it's a huge improvement, the instruments sound much clearer on the new version, the music has a lot more room to breath. It kind of makes the old version sound a little flat and dull in comparison. I will say I do have a criticism though, I think it's mastered a touch too loud. Other than that it's wonderful and worth picking up this version.

Agreed, I will say I didn't think about the volume when listening but now that you say it I would agree, I don't think I heard any distortion because of it though. Agree the instruments sound more separated, the woodwind instrument on behelit sounded much bigger and with more depth, I was almost questioning if it was a different mix/take.
I do think the source material may have limited what they could do at times e.g. on the track murder it def sounds better but it still sounds, squashed? The song seems to have a lot layers it kind of sounds like 2 or 3 three songs playing at once, some of the synths in it have a kind of Tangerine dream vibe going on, which I wish was more clear.

Also, my Hunter X Hunter arrived today :) I know nothing of the anime or ost but The sleeve came out really nice, I think fans will be very happy
