Noir (Original Soundtrack) 2LP

The bass on this double LP really shines through on a good turntable, and the remastering brings out details I never noticed before. The 8-page booklet is a nice bonus, with lovely illustrations that complement the music perfectly.

The booklet with Yuki Kajiura's liner notes is a nice touch, but the real win is how clean the remastered pressing sounds—quiet surfaces, no crackle, and the orchestral layers really open up on vinyl. It's a hefty double LP too, so the gatefold feels substantial in hand.

I was blown away by the liner notes from Yuki Kajiura—they add so much context to the music. The 8-page booklet with illustrations and lyrics is a beautiful touch, and the vinyl itself sounds incredibly crisp and warm.
