Cometh The Man...

 

Van Morrison - Moondance (Steven Wilson Mix) [R1 536560 UK&EU 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Steven Wilson has been one of the hardest working musicians over the past few decades, his new work remixing old classic albums is becoming widely recognised the world over, so much so that he can now pick & choose his work. Although he works in the digital domain (these new mixes have only previously been available on a blu-ray), he has shown great care and consideration in bringing old recordings back to life.

Cut by Kevin Gray & Matthew Lutthans (a new name in quality mastering) at Cohearent Audio and pressed onto super quiet vinyl at Optimal Media in Germany (we knew they could do it), this three LP set is a treat for the ears. The remixed original album is covered on LP1, whilst a whole bunch of demos, alternative mixes and out-takes span the additional vinyl volumes.

You need this.
