I usually go for vinyl for the albums that were originally created for that format ...as in Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, fusion/funk/jazz stuff, early Metallica etc. I have some newer albums on vinyl too, but I'd rather listen to my Meshuggah records from a cd. If I had better gear, I might go all vinyl. It's just pain in the ass to listen to a Opeth record when you have to change the disc/side after every 2 songs

I've halso had a few hazy "VINYLS ONLY" afterparties feat. enormous amounts of alcohol. Get's rid of the "HEY! Let's check out that cool video from youtube!" and "Hey check this cool song which I will play for 20 seconds and then change to another song and repeat until I pass out" problems. Putting on a vinyl is the only way to get some people to listen to a whole record straight through nowadays.

Do black metal records sound better in vinyl? really?

I'm guessing only kvlt stuff recorded in analog, or symphonic also?

I have all the Emperor albums on vinyl and they sound amazing, then again they are the original pressings that I bought back in the early nineties when they were released. The Bathory and Celtic Frost albums sound awesome too but again, they're the original versions. The only remaster/re release on vinyl that I heard which blew me away was Master Of Puppets (the 180gram double lp thing) as I think that a lot of the re releases out there now on vinyl lack the warmth of the originals and are a cash grab by labels as vinyl is becoming popular again. Anything released in the 80's/early 90's sounds incredible because vinyl was the dominant format at the time.

Deathspell Omega sounds incredible on vinyl

am i right in thinking that an advantage of listening to modern releases on vinyl is that the masters are often different and softer?

Overall vinyl is quite cool, it adds a certain vibe to things and has a good "deliberateness" to it. It doesn't necessarily compliment every mix though

Yeah I think it was the cab thing

 

[ratsapprentice]

Precisely, it's quite often a case of picking something that should sound good on vinyl and hoping that it does...

Basically slow and organic is best........

 

[kvoid]

Yeah I only buy vinyl too. Then again I listen to BM so everything worth a damn comes out on vinyl anyways

Which ones have you?? I've only SMRC and a box set that was released with all the earlier stuff (inquisitors of satan, Infernal Battles etc..) on picture discs. Would love to get Kenose on vinyl but it's pricey enough.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Just SMRC and Paracletus, am looking to get the rest though, that box set looked fucking awesome.

Precisely.

Then again Bm being BM you had a lot of 7" kult done by pandaface kids which..ah well..didn't really have any regard for the nuances of the medium.

I think Mikko Aspa of Clandestine Blaze/Deathspell Omega once raged about this either on his label website or in an interview (dipshits sending completely unprepared masters to pressing)
