Laisse un murmure

I’ve been hunting for this album on vinyl for years, and the clear blue color looks stunning spinning on the turntable. The pressing is clean with no surface noise, and hearing '45' crackle through the speakers brings back so many memories.

The blue pressing is a nice touch, and the surface was dead quiet when I dropped the needle on '45'. It’s the debut album, so the production has that raw early-2000s feel, which isn’t perfect, but the sleeve and vinyl quality make up for it.

The clear blue vinyl itself looks sharp, and the pressing is quiet enough, but I was expecting a bit more from the remaster. "45" still hits hard, though the rest of the album feels a little dated to my ears now. It's a decent pick-up if you're a fan, just don't expect it to blow you away.
