Since upgrading my cart from a 2M Blue to a Hana ML, I have to say my appreciation for the sonics on this album has grown. I would now categorize this as an audiophile pressing, whereas earlier, I thought this pressing lacked dynamics. Hard to remember now what I was hearing then. Dynamics are stellar. Oh yeah, and what an album!- Presumably the white label version is rarer as it has never been sold on here.

I found a cheap used copy and was expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised. This pressing sounds as pulsing and hypnotic as ever with a minimum of surface noise. It's a marvel of vinyl engineering that they managed to fit so much music on each side without it sounding like a 'K-Tel 20 Greatest Disco Hits' record. All in all, a fantastic listening experience of a timeless feat of electronic pioneering.referencing The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, 180g) 0602557753264
Sounds good to me. As others have said, not the quietest records, but just adds to the experience. Overall, warm, lush sounding with good separation and sound stage. Sounds great on headphones. Paid £20, so really happy. I don't personally like gatefold, would rather have single outer and nice printed inners, which this has.

I grew up with the CD! My copy of this is stored on the shelf back to back with https://www.discogs.com/release/119427-The-Orb-Perpetual-Dawn in the same outer sleeve. Perpetual Dawn (Solar Youth Mix) is the version I first heard on alternative radio, and Star 6 & 7 8 9 (Phase II) is the version I grew up with. All 3 vinyls together make up the complete thought of the album as I remember it.
This double LP also definitely sounds great. I'm hearing detail and nuance I'd never noticed before.

Must have gotten lucky. Wax is flat, quiet, and sounds on point. Was kind of apprehensive due to the 20min+ per side and expectations were low. As always, cleaned upon receiving, before initial spin and TT in tolerance.

Pretty happy overall. Yeah some pops and crackles here and there but after a wash and some plays with antistat gun it’s good. Really cool album! Geeez the 90s were great. If you want silent play back try a CD- Even if the original 2LP holds up quite well to this 4LP marvel, the bass here is spectacular, but if you treat your records well, I guess the 2LP that came out one year later, The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld isn't a bad option as this woun't get cheap any time soon under any normal circumstances.
I haven't opened my 2017 copy, but its got Miles in the runout, and he did the remaster on the 4LP, so, if you haven't got a copy on vinyl of this best debut ever recorded in mankind, in any lunar/ultraworld, just treat yourself with the 2LP. - How much did this retail at on Record Store Day? Thanks

9.5/10. Nothing to complain about in this pressing. No sonic defects at all on my copy. Classic album and a cornerstone of my collection. -0.5 due to minor room for improvement in dynamics.
