Andy Stott - Passed Me By mp3 album

Good music. Excellent pressing. Picked this up used and it plays like new. Shiny black vinyl. Sounds great with no surface noise, clicks, or pops. For those that care: Modern Love does *not* include download codes with their vinyl records.

listening to B2 and all of a sudden i really want some chewing gum

I just got a copy in black vinyl (so this should be the original release) and the pressing is perfect. No clicks, very low noise floor in general. Side D has some obviously intended noise that comes and goes. But I noticed this record is cut at a very high level, so I wouldn't be surprised if skips were a result of mistracking. Listened to it at home on an old Thorens with a line contact cartridge (AT 150 MLX), no problems at all.

Me also ! on a Luxman PD-375.....superb pressing....gut wrenching bass. Sublime.

side a of my copy skips so much its unlistenable, a few pops here and there on the rest of the lp as well. seems to be pretty consistently poor pressings from modern love, have a vatican shadow lp that pops and skips all over as well.

everything I've ever had on Modern Love is pressed damn near perfectly, that's around 12-13 releases over the years. You must have a dodgy set up that can't handle low/sub frequencies obvs

Non-fill on side B with accompanying noise; sides C, and D yielding scratchy sounds and pops where undesired (and not present in hi-res digital copy). Really disappointing, because this bass is great, really nice mastering marred by poor pressing. Anyone else have this, or is this a one-off?

my copy is more or less the same way, side a is unlistenable, lotsa pops and scratches on the rest of the lp.

I think this issue is global to every edition unfortunately.Check the comments for the emerald version, this issue was raised there as well.Thanks for mentioning the "non-fill" issue though, I had never heard about it.

Isn't this repress supposed to have been pressed from re-cut lacquers at Pallas? My run-out grooves/matrix etchings match what's listed above. Can anyone shed some light on this? Boomkat had this listed in their description of the represses: *New Edition pressed from redone lacquers at Pallas, transparent Emerald vinyl - comes with instant download*

This release is so damn good. I can see why the demand continues.

Initial thoughts: If Akufen and Guillaume Berroyer had a child and it experimented with Detroit techno in the 90's this would be the evil progeny.

Andy getting low and slooowwwww on this latest. Not for the faint of heart. Probably can't even beat match these into a set because they're so slow. But man its good. Some dark, drab, skull rattling beats on here. I dont know what that tribal looking fellow is doing on the cover art. Actually I do know. He just finished listening to this album, felt inspired, and decided to kill every motherf*cker in the village with a knife while they were sleeping. Women and children first. Merciless.

it pretty much makes your insides vibrate like buttons on a bass bin. and the times I have seen Demdike live they just make the walls loose and liquid. it really is a hair raising experience. I am seeing Andy live tomorrow actually! Psyched.

I absolutely agree on the taking music back to the point of its essence. And to me that is the creative accident in space where inspiration creates new views instead of copying things. When new musical scenes are formed this proces is excelerated, forming a dense collective conciousness. But as we have seen so many times, when s scene gets to big/popular it will eat its own succes. It loses its own creativeness. Andy Stott did his thing, may others do it as well. The ones with ears will listen, the others can only follow.

Indeed. I really want to see him playing live.I could say more nice stuff about his/modern love recent work, but i think people should discover by themselves, will have more effect in their minds.I'm just trying to get as more information as i can of how he achieved those results. I'm digging interviews and stuff, i'm quite confident with his ideas and the path he is tracing.I really hope more people follow paths this one and other advanced paths. Cause as i said, the cool music/scene we were listening to is already taken by brainless people. We're urging for a new underground, congratulations Andy/Moder Love you're helping a lot.

Great observation. Modern Love has been working the low BPM ranges for awhile now, specifically with the "Warehouse" series of releases. I personally find this album and the "We Stay Together" album much more captivating. What I really want to experience and what I really, really want to know, is what happens when you drop tunes this heavy on a proper sound system :)

Trully amazing stuff. He clearly put himself in another level, separated from the posers taking control over the 120-bpm-like-tracks.He is opening the gates and at the same time being host for those who wants to follow this way of being next level, will influence a lot of avant garde artists.
