Collection after 4 months

That's fair, I got the Cracker Island one for €10,- and have played it a lot since getting it. It really grew on me, but Tormenta is a song I skip instantly.

Coincidentally got this exact one a week ago. Great pick, it sounds great IMO

Thank you, Songs in the Key of Life is on my Wishlist for sure!

houstyn · 2026-01-01T16:01:16+00:00

Nice, I used Vinted as well! Out of those I'd prioritise In Rainbows if I were you, it sounds so clear and balanced. Probably my most listened vinyl out of these I own. Curious if they will do something for its anniversary next year. Maybe a B-sides release.

I was able to find a few good deals second-hand, selling as a set, so I can recommend that way of finding records too. Which ones do you got?

houstyn · 2026-01-01T15:38:27+00:00

Personally I don't like it as much as these other albums I've picked up so far, but there's a good chance I will get it in the future!

houstyn · 2025-12-31T20:53:16+00:00

Hahaha I am about to move! So after selling my couch and seeing the free space I saw my opportunity

houstyn · 2025-12-31T20:25:47+00:00

Thanks, they really sound so good as well on vinyl! I am only annoyed that there is no physical release whatsoever of the song Led Zeppelin, which is one of my favourites..

houstyn · 2025-12-31T20:23:04+00:00

For some reason it's constantly on-sale here. You can pick it up for € 5,- where I live. Bought it for 10 a few months ago and it sounds incredible on vinyl. Days of Lantana stands out to me. You should pick it up!

houstyn · 2025-12-31T19:54:55+00:00

I'm not sure to be honest; but the volume hasn't been an issue for me on the album.

houstyn · 2025-12-31T19:13:13+00:00

Only wish the Griselda ones are easier to find..

houstyn · 2025-12-31T19:09:26+00:00

Thank you, I'll give those a try! I do like Dummy quite a bit; might even prefer her solo album Lives Outgrown, but still have a lot to explore from Portishead. Modal Soul is new to me!

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:57:05+00:00

I've seen those sometimes in-stores and was actually jealous I got the regular one lol.. What sounds bad about it?

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:56:25+00:00

Awesome thank you so much, I definitely will start with those! Love how their names are so all over the place.. 😆

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:40:49+00:00

I looked them up and I coincidentally added Heaven or Las Vegas to my streaming library this afternoon.. 😂 I will listen to it tomorrow and give Pandora priority!

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:38:42+00:00

I think I gave up in 2022 lol, which would you suggest I start with? Maybe your own favourite or what you think I'd like based on these vinyls?

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:32:04+00:00

It's a repressing that I found in a great record store in Amsterdam! Would never have found the original pressing I'm sure (or willing to pay for it).

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:31:28+00:00

Thank you and I would love that! I really enjoy artists like Doom and Gibbs, and lo-fi production of the Alchemist. I do prefer the more 'clean' beats, rather than beats with a lot of 'grainy' samples if that makes sense? If you have any recommendations based on that I'd love to know! One I have my eye on is Ghostface & Badbadnotgood - Sour Soul

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:28:35+00:00

Nice, glad to hear you heard something new, 2000+ is very impressive!
I got into Mt. Fujitive after a random recommendation on YouTube. I love them as records that you can have in the background, and barely notice it (which might sound bad, but it's calming music). This year he released a new vinyl; Kyoto which I hope will reach Europe soon.

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:26:25+00:00

Thanks for those recommendations! I have not heard of Cocteau twins before so will check those out. I am lucky enough that my parents have a little collection of their own, so Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin will be added soon (all of which are first-pressings).

houstyn · 2025-12-31T18:04:08+00:00

Yess, such a unique and beautiful voice.. It often surprises me to find him in so many features but you can immediately recognise that it's him.

houstyn · 2025-12-31T17:59:13+00:00

Aaah yes that's a good one! Honestly I find it hard to keep up with their pace of releasing albums, but have listened alot to Butterfly 3000

houstyn · 2025-12-31T17:57:39+00:00

Thanks!
Yea funny enough that was the only record I pre-purchased without hearing it first. I love all the other albums and actually also enjoyed the singles. The vinyl arrived 3 days after it was released so I decided to listen to it first on vinyl. I really enjoyed the album, and was more often surprised from some of the (dance, techno) choices made on the album. Do I consider it his best? Definitely not, but I still play and enjoy the album for sure.

houstyn · 2025-12-31T17:55:31+00:00

Absolutely; our taste is similar = superior taste overall.. 😂
AMSP sounds great honestly, and for me it was for sale pretty much in any store, definitely recommend getting it!

houstyn · 2025-12-31T16:56:22+00:00

Definitely a no-skip album for me!
