Amazing Genesis
By: Tom on 23 March 2024Bought this with much anticipation and I must say I was not disappointed. Super quiet vinyl and the soundstage is amazing. Highly recommend this 75 Series. Discrepancy Records were super quick posting the album and it was packed securely. Looking forward to my next Discrepancy purchase!

Exquisite
By: Darren on 13 January 2024I can't say I'm the biggest Genesis fan in the world. In fact, I only started listening to them in 2009, a couple of years after I'd started my foray into progressive rock. To help me find a good starting point, I reached out to members of the Steve Hoffman forum for advice and the first response was Selling England By The Pound. As it turned out, I started with Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme then went from there. In the years since that forum post, I've purchased a German vinyl pressing in 2011, the Blu-Ray Pure Audio version in 2015, and now this 2 x 45rpm version from Analogue Productions. I recently conducted a shootout between the German vinyl and the blu-ray and while the vinyl had nice, extended bass, it was a little on the dark side and the blu-ray was better across the board. Better clarity, extended highs, expanded soundstage and just an overall more enjoyable listening experience (it doesn't help that the album is 53 minutes long - a bit too long for a single LP). I was quite happy to leave it at that, until this Atlantic Records 75th Anniversary reissue series was announced, in particular the Analogue Productions "75 for 75" series. In the progressive rock world, this album is held in very high regard. And rightly so. It didn't floor me instantly, but over time it has revealed itself to be a considerable musical achievement. Over at Rate Your Music, the album ranks #6 for 1973, #210 overall and #5 for progressive rock, while over at the Prog Archives it ranks #2 overall. So, safe to say it's pretty well loved by most progressive rock aficionados. I'm not going to wax lyrical about the music itself - there's plenty of reviews out there. I'll just say that the marriage of complexity and simplicity is perfectly executed. As for this reissue, I'll just come right out and say it may very well be the best sounding vinyl record I've ever heard. No joke. I was transfixed from beginning to end. To start with, the vocals are so clear it's almost spooky. The soundstage is massive in all directions and dimensions. As for the bass, at times it quite literally blooms. And by that I don't mean it's bloated or boomy - it blooms. It's like being enveloped in a big warm marshmallow. The flute melody in "A Firth of Fifth", introduced by Peter Gabriel at the 3.30 mark, followed by the instrumental passage, then the guitar mimicking the flute melody, is truly goosebump-inducing. I realise I'm gushing, but I'm also relaying how I felt while listening. I don't know if it's the mastering by Chris Bellman, the fact it was cut at 45rpm, the superb quality of the vinyl itself (I heard one solitary tick) or a divine combination of all the above. The imaging, instrument separation, depth. It's all quite exquisite. I was hesitant to plonk down $125 AUD for one album, but I have no qualms about purchasing further titles in the series now. There's only a few that interest me, but I won't be hesitating once they're ready to pre-order from Discrepancy Records. Apart from the sound quality, the packaging is first rate. The glossy finish is beautiful and the vinyl itself is flat, clean and quiet.
