It's that background music, man - it hits. Plus it's the overwhelming feeling of finally listening to this - an album I've assumed could end up being my favorite of all time. Expectations are high.
I can't wait to put A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships and this one back to back on a summer road trip... one day... when uh... I feel safe doing that again.
It's weird. They aren't breaking up or going anywhere but somehow this just feels so much bigger than just another album. Like it's a culmination of everything they've ever done.
Yup. Feels like this is a logical endpoint to the traditional idea of what we’ve come to expect from a 1975 album.
When you guys play this shit on vinyl do you do it solely on the machine or do you hook it up to normal speakers as well? If so do you recommend good stuff to use?
Okay I didn't see that beat switch up coming in Having No Head. Shit, they did it again. Good thing I didn't have my drink in my hand
For most record players you need an external speaker system. Additionally, you need a pre-amp to convert the signal from the record player to the speakers, so the whole set up can become a very very pricy endeavor
I got a lower end system, and I’m the breakdown was as followed: uturn audio turntable - $250 Art DJ pre II- $60 AR speakers - $200 SONY audio receiver - $150 I got the uturn because it’s a good starter and you can upgrade as time goes on, I got a Otorton 2M for $100
I literally have an standard old record player I inherited from my great uncle - who knows what it is - and then a Peanuts themed Urban Outfitters gift an ex bought me for my Xmas. No speakers or nothing. Set me up!
Clearly this is more involved than I knew hahahah I’d like to set a nice system up in my new man-office-cave (non-musician music room)
