Terrific sound quality! It is very detailed, has great resolution and a big soundstage.

Really dont get it, why track 11 on some versions is Boston Common and on others is 7th Sevens
1987hanky Oct 18, 2020
It is a wonderful & beautiful album filled with such depth and feel but the pressing doesn't do it justice. If only the pressing was more engaging and had better dynamics it would really make it worthy of the music, still it's not terrible just lacking what a well pressed vinyl can really bring to your listening experience.

Listened to on a £4k system.

What is the difference between the Deluxe edition and the simple one? The price seems very close. Based on the pictures, is it more about the artwork included? Or are there some other bonuses?

Thanks!

Regularly coming back to this album... It is amongst my latest favorite albums... A sonic journey of emotions.

Thank You Bonobo for This Amazing (Another!!!) Masterpiece!
All The Best!!! ;o)

Absolutely stunning album, doesn't let up on multiple listens. So great to see how Bonobo's music has evolved from his early work to now.
A musician who genuinely doesn't let you down. Cannot recommend enough.
