How many vinyl copies were incorrectly pressed? I just want to know what happens in the background once these get rejected.Hi, as the post above, there was some mess up and we rejected the test pressing because they pressed at 33rpm instead of 45rpm.
Bit annoyed about this and hoping its not impacted the delivery of this.
What I can say was the tracks did sound great at 33rpm so fully expect it to sound even better at 45.
Apologies for the slight delay on this but it was the right choice to ensure everyone gets what they paid for.

Love both. Proper. They are both sort of Rank-1-ish. Very good.
Christmas came early I see. Love both, though I slightly prefer State Of Mind. Proper journey there.

I would call State Of Mind the follow up to Enigmatic on the first release.
Both have soft intros and outros.
The vocal line on 'State of Mind' says "Enigmatic State of Mind".....so if you put the titles of both B-sides it's is "Enigmatic State of Mind"

Hmmm easter egg.... is one of the FX samples sampled from Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler? That weird siren-ish thing?
Edit: Or that reversed piano thing is kind of Veracocha - Carte Blanch-y. Hmm.

FX is from that Freestyler track (although that sample is widely used as it comes from a sample CD), but is not the Easter egg. Nor it's the piano reverse.

Well I now have a new TOTY. State of Mind. Wow. Just wow. I’ve had almost no love for tracks in this style for a long long time. I guess it was just the tracks. This track keeps on giving and giving and justifies its length 100%.
Was taking my daughter (4yo) to school when this came on, first listen for both of us. She usually just bitches a song is too long (after 1.5mins) or that I’m not playing her mermaids podcast. She was very quiet until the first break, and then after it built up, she was headbanging. She volunteered that the track was ‘soooooooo good’. We both agree this track rules.
Sacred art is great too don’t get me wrong but it’s obv where the time was spent. Lovely work. Nice to hear sounds like this again.

Both are very good but have to be honest they didnt hit me as hard as IMF/Enigmatic did...

Sacred Art I find the melody to be too repetitive and without enough change or development it became a bit boring for me. State of Mind offered much more of the journey and is an excellent track taken straight from the anthem era. Both productions sound very nice. I would like to see you partner with Alan Backdrop, who I saw you mentioned you know and respect.
