AyyyThat Abbey Road is my favourite for that album though I don't dislike the latest master either, I just prefer the OG
A stereo downmix (of MCH if you can) of the 2003 5.1 of Pet Sounds is soooo niceee
That 2eye for B****es Brew is really nice but the 1996 SRCS 9118~9 CD is what i've been preferring
I haven't heard that Love Supreme, I do have a 2010 A***ogue Production rip though. Speaking Coltrane, I got a whole new appreciation for Blue Train when I heard the 1978 GXK8055 LP
there's been a lot of reissues of Blue Train lately that i wanna check out. i'm not sure if i wanna cop the Tone Poet in mono or stereo (Blue Note has been doing an excellent job with the Classic Series btw)

chiliHonestly I might even prefer it to my 1987 vinyl copy, the 2020 added so much low end that this album desperately needed
yep. i did a side-by-side with my OG and 2020 copies and it's night and day for me. 1999 has a great remaster too

i won’t say best ever but this comes to mind since i’m stanning them right now
that's a great one too
Oct 18, 2022PADYBUfor good mix/mastering I'd say it's a combo of you being able to hear everything how it was intended to be heard along with an EQ that doesn't cause listening fatigue. If the artist wants you to hear a sax for example, it'd be nice for that instrument to have the natural timbre that the instrument actually has irl with utmost clarity. Most remasters of Coltrane's Blue Train make the massive mistake of turning the highs up to draw out "detail" but they destroy the timbre in doing so and it becomes more harsh and less velvety
then again, mix/mastering can also have artistic decisions made to it, maybe the artist wants to have something sounding murky like Tom Waits stuff likes to be. Or maybe drenched in beautiful warm reverb like Jessica Pratt's Quiet Signs
this is exactly the type of response i was looking for, thank you my friend

Oct 18, 2022To throw out a random answer,Missy Elliots "Da Real World" album is mixed/mastered pretty f***ing well
Oct 18, 2022Recently went to it, Brian Brown's album Journey is still very great listen all the way through.

But,Marvin Gaye-Whats Going On and Run DMC-Raising Hell is stuff ive been listening to lately,and both albums have a surprisingly great mix,especially Raising Hell,that album isn't as outdated as you think(its of its time tho).

Oct 19, 2022To this day even with a pretty f***ing sizeable record collection, I think LCD soundystem’s sound of silver on wax is the best sounding album I’ve heard - the vinyl audio outclasses even flac digitals

I love Albini but I always thought the sound of Shellac albums I’ve heard is uncharacteristically lacking for him

Nobody said The Chronic / 2001 yet
Pathetic. Chronic is actually overrated but 2001 is BY FAR hands down the best mixed and mastered album of all time of all genres. Nothing even comes close.

I've just checked out a pbthal rip of the new Tone Poet mono and it is brilliant.
