Mars Audiac Quintet

I was so happy to grab this reissue on its release date — the gatefold sleeve feels sturdy and the vinyl plays dead quiet. The remastered tracks on side A already sound fuller than my old CD copy.

The remastering on this 2LP set is crisp without losing the analog warmth, and the pressing itself is quiet—no crackle between tracks. I threw it on first thing this morning and the separation on the vocals is noticeably cleaner than my old copy. It’s a solid reissue for anyone who’s been holding of

I've been waiting for these to come back in stock, and the 2LP format with the 2019 remasters sounds incredibly full and warm. The packaging is solid too, no warping on my copy.
