    Inlet is a great album and more than worthy comeback I'm very glad exists, but Downward is Heavenward remains their peak for me. Simply some of the best-sounding rock music ever made with just the right amount of grand sci-fi flair. (Tbc I love all three main albums, the b-sides, the Centaur album, the Glifted album...)

    The ending of Cloud City still lives rent free in my mind

    Damn some of this is actually really solid. I've had Underest and Flyin on repeat.

    I finally got the remastered CDs and ripped them to my Apple Music library. Have only listened to YPAA so far but holy shit it sounds so good.

    Hadn't realized there were new remasters (as of 2023 I gather), will need to check those out - curious to see how or if one could improve the sound of DIH which is already one of the greatest sounding rock albums ever

    I'll have to report back after I give it a listen, but I agree that record already sounds incredible and wasn't in need of a remaster. I mainly bought it for the three bonus tracks.

    I actually gave it a listen....I'd need a closer relisten and some careful A/Bing to be able to hear any difference I think, whatever they did must be on the subtle side. I was already familiar with "Puppets" and "Aphids" (good songs!) so only "Boy With Stick," which is interesting but doesn't sound as finished as the rest, was new to me. Always happy to have a reason to revisit, though.

    Never listened to Electra 2000 before so I'll have to fix that. Currently revisiting Shiner's The Egg, recorded in Matt Talbot's studio.

    My pressings of Inlet, You’d Prefer an Astronaut, and Downward Is Heavenward are of three of my best sounding records.

    Agreed. These albums somehow sound better on vinyl.
