At the risk of sounding like a moron:

I sympathize with you.  I'd been playing Autechre's "Envane"
on vinyl at 33.3 rpm. for months.  I kept thinking after a while,
"Damn, I can't remember this album being so funky."
That was until this cat told me I was playing it
at the wrong speed.

I still think it kicks ass at 33.3rpm.

The best way to figure out what speed it's suposed to be
played at (if it isn't obvious just from listening to it)
is find someone with a CD copy (*cringe*) and listen to
the first 30 seconds.

Best,

-Ma'er...
