Some theorise that it is the small amounts of carbon mixed into the pvc to make it black that lubricate the stylus as it travels through the groove, but as far as I know definitive scientific evidence is yet to be established. Nevertheless, it is consensus in audiophile circles that black vinyl generally sounds best and has the lowest noise floor. Of course there are many variables. The coloured pressings that are fashionable today do sometimes have collectibility factor, especially if the run of that colour is limited. Nevertheless, whilst they are often pretty to look at, they do tend to have slightly higher surface noise and other imperfections. I personally am in no hurry to get coloured vinyl pressings of "A Flock of Bleeps"; my black one sounds just great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoktorG Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 6 hours ago, technosomy said: Really? It's my understanding black vinyl is still recycled, as apposed to most colours arnt Good point Technosomy. Black vinyl is sometimes recycled, but mostly not. Recycled vinyl does have a bad reputation as quite a bit of dirt, even labels, can be part of the melt and result in noise. However, whilst that used to be the case as recycling was often slipshod, done for economic reasons, that is less the case today where recycling is taken more seriously and is not just to press as cheaply as possible. These days some bands make a green point about recycled black vinyl - King Gizzard and Brian Eno, for instance. My copy of Brian Eno's "Foreverandevernomore" which boasts about the recycled vinyl is pristine and plays perfectly. Further, whilst coloured vinyl is less likely to be recycled, the dyes can be sonically troublesome, especially if several are mixed together as in the marbling, galaxy and starburst effects popular now. I love my coloured vinyls: most play fine and some are literally awesome to look at, but my ear is a bit different to my eyes. In my own collection of several thousand lps, I would say that black and clear vinyl is less likely to be noisy than coloured. So, as always, the devil is in the detail. What remains true is my statement that in audiophile circles, with which I have a 40 year acquaintance, black vinyl is regarded as king. I stand by my attempted support of Goa Constrictor; sure coloured vinyl can be pretty, but once you go black there's no going back... đ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanosp81 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 But, but, black vinyl it's still coloured. If you think you can tell the difference in sound transparent is the answer. It's crazy how the audiophiles out there never mention it. Or, if you truly care about sound quality, go for CDs đ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don't know if even Simon has a version without this error, and yes, I remember him stating somewhere years ago that it actually was a mistake he made when mixing down the tracks. I'd be curious to know what was the source audio for this remaster. I don't really know if I can justify to myself paying again for the digital version of these albums as I have the originals (which is the case of several remasters that have popped up in recent years in this remastering trend). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Were you able to solve the PayPal payment problem? I once had such a problem and I solved it in such a way that I first topped up the funds to my PayPal account and then made the payment. I could not pay with a card connected to PayPal only with my own funds in my PayPal account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goa constrictor Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Thanks for checking in. I used to use Paypal around like '99 -> 2005(ish) I really stopped trusting them and closed my account a few years back. I use a service called Privacy.Com (will send anyone an invite if they would like) for my online purchases. It creates dummy credit cards that are locked into businesses or are one-time uses. That way, if/when there is a breech and the card numbers are stolen, I am not at risk. I have this setup with Bandcamp but Doof wouldn't use that. Had to be via Paypal and Paypal wouldn't accept that as a valid card number. I ended up putting money on an account that isn't linked to my main finances in anyway and purchased via that. This led me to setting up an entirely new bank account simply for these types of purchases so that I can isolate purchases without risk of compromised accounts.

Any new news on it? News dropped yesterday "Twisted Vinylverse Expansion  Our deluxe 4-LP edition of the Hallucinogen Albums was a massive hit, and that was just the first of two Hallucinogen sets. Later this year we plan on releasing Hallucinogen Volume 2: The Singles Remastered. This 5-LP set will feature all of the released original solo Hallucinogen singles that were not on the albums - not remixes of other producers' works nor other producers' remixes of these classics, but 100% pure undiluted Hallucinogen. From the very first early mix of Solstice through to the final Hallucinogen production Strangled Cat (previously only online), this deluxe set will be overflowing with Hallucinogenic awesomeness. Supplemented by photos, flyers, and informative text with some juicy details about these longtime favourites, this set is sure to be yet another collector's edition to treasure. Be sure to watching your inbox and our socials for the Pre Sales date so you can secure your copy!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
