So beautiful. Fantastic matt sleeve with such beautiful sound. An album that sounds so good on vinyl

Out of the wrapper, the vinyl was quite filthy with a lot of dust and paper artifacts from the inner card stock liner. After an ultrasonic clean, it is actually a very nice pressing. Full and dynamic, low noise, only a few odd, non-obnoxious clicks in between tracks.

"Aion" is the album that closes the first and most important phase of Dead Can Dance. It is a disc to have absolutely - "Aion" è l'album che chiude la prima e più importante fase dei Dead Can Dance. È un disco da avere assolutamente.

This album’s sound is fantastic. Very well done dynamic sound and very quiet after a quick wipe down. I’m so glad to add this to my DCD collection.

One of the most dynamic records I have experienced.

Almost clean copy (continuous clicks appear on A6) & the artworks looks great.

Comparing this reissue with the original, the bass on this is leaner albeit deep and accurate; the midrange seems to be wider here although the highs seem to sparkle a bit more on the original. Apart from the odd pop/click, this is a quiet copy and all around a great version of this record.

A great pressing, voices are well centered and the dynamic is fantastic. Very quiet and flat record.

I'm looking for a sleeve for this version if anyone has one they wish to sell.
