Urami Bushi / The Flower Of Carnage [進口]

Finally got this import on vinyl and the sound quality is fantastic, really brings out the depth in the orchestration. The 12-inch format gives it that full, warm presence that digital just can't match.

Meiko Kajji's voice cuts through the vinyl with such raw power that I had to check if my turntable was calibrated right—that opening riff is just perfect. The import pressing is dead quiet, no surface noise at all, which makes the dynamic range on "Flower of Carnage" really stand out.

Finally got this import 12-inch in the mail and the pressing quality is excellent—no surface noise at all. Both "Urami Bushi" and "Flower of Carnage" sound incredibly full on vinyl. Definitely worth the wait for such a clean, heavyweight record.
