well the cd is equal to the vinyl at 33, if you understand that. and the only thing i've seen on warp lately that had a speed mix-up was on mike ink's paroles, it's listed as 33, but it's actually 45, even though the t-power remix sounds really nice on 33. and about phonecia, well, i think it sounds better at 45, just because i was listening to the cd far before i bought the vinyl. and just for the record, the last half of the second track on the phonecia ep melts me every time... the melody couldn't get any better. and about chiclisuite, well, im not going to start on that one. last time i mentioned what MY copies sound like, i got four people mailing me telling me that all 6 different record players i tried my copy of chiclisuite part 2 on, probably needed to be adjusted because the timing of the rpms were off. i doubt, four technic 1200s, one thorens, and one other technic, turntables were all off. i really doubt it. i just think my copy of chiclisuite part 2 was pressed incorrectly, because at both speeds it's either too fast or too slow compared to the cd version -kiya ---------- > From: Jeremy Axon <xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xx> > To: kiya "i am a copier" babzani <xxxxxx@xx.xxxxxx.xxx> > Subject: Re: (idm) blech question > Date: Tuesday, May 12, 1998 3:37 PM > > > > At 02:03 PM 12 - 05 - 1998 -0700, you wrote: > >this is true, but the strange thing is that the original really doesn't > >sound much like the blech version unless you find it on vinyl, because the > >version on blech is being played at 45, not 33 like it's "supposed" to be > >played. so if you get the cd, you'll be disapointed with a track that > >sounds like it's barely moving along as opposed to the faster version... > >and the scratching and voice overs really make the blech version a bit > >better too. > > > > funny, i never thought it was "supposed" to be played on 33. the whole album > would hardly move at 33.... is this speed mix-up or whatever you want to > call it common on warp records? the reverse is, IMHO, true for the phonecia > single. it sounds MUCH better at 33, and i've heard cichlisuite is like this > too. any comments? >
