Lovelock - Burning Feeling [BEWITH106LP UK 2022 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

It seems weird that in what follows, I will be 'raving' about a 2022 remaster of an album originally released as a compressed compact disc in 2012. Whilst this double vinyl set by New Yorker Lovelock (also answers to Steve Moore) was a modern digital recording, the mastering to vinyl is remarkably considerate with the stats coming in at around DR13. Read on....

If you are of a certain era, like me, then this album will feel very familiar. Burning Feeling is set in the years of Italian cosmic disco, Michael Mann, John Carpenter & Jan Hammer film soundtracks, Morodor electronica, Patrick Cowley's sequenced synths and British synthwave but recorded in New York state during 2006 using a Sequential Pro-One and Prophet 600, a Korg Polysix, a Yamaha DX7II FD, a Moog Little Phatt, plus of course a Fender Jazz Bass and a Fender Strat.

Be With Records have scheduled a new album by Lovelock for later in 2023, the label's go to mastering engineer Simon Francis was given access to the original 2006 uncompressed masters of Burning Feeling to cut this wonderful sounding album for a vinyl release.

Needle Time & Digitalia posts will be much reduced over the next two weeks as I need to go deal with other stuff - if there is time I will squeeze one more post in later today, then normal service will return later this month.
