    got it out of curiosity and ..NO ;/
    the "X-mix 2 The Tracks" version of the cut stays in the bag as it sounds way superior.

    a few words about this one?
    sorry, it's just mids and more mids, no crisp, no detail, no treble - if you want to try to make it work among other mid90s records you re gonna fight the EQ a lot.

    on a plus side - the plating/pressing is clean so if you're gonna try to rescue the audio with a radical treble boost you wont add much noise or other "vinyl-floor" garbage, but you still need a high quality / magic EQ to make it work properly.

    long story short:
    yet another "what's the point!?" record that makes the format look ridiculous and redundant.

    on a positive note - the record looks pretty similar to the original run, so it will make your collection / exhibition "look better".

        Comparing this new 2024 remaster/repress with the original 1992 record…

        Overall tonal (frequency) balance is better on this new repress. 1992 cut is louder and brighter (more 3KHz) but with more distortion.

        2024 remaster has more clarity and more controlled/refined midrange and better low end, and the 808 drum transients are clearer without distortion.

        The dodgy edits and left-right volume dips present in the 1992 original are still present in this 2024 repress, but sound less intrusive.

        Overall a quality 2024 remastered pressing of this Mad Mike classic!

            If you don't have this classic detroit techno 12", snap it up now. Quality pressing. Do not sleep on this...

              Pressing sounds really good.
              One of the best acid records from the 90s, stoked to see it repressed.
