First track of the upcoming @hoopoe album, one of the most impressive track for me in the promo. And on laser vinyl? I haven't seen this thing before.

Hoopy new year!
Released Jan 17th 2025...
Exclusively on pioneering laser vinyl (7x higher sound quality than vinyl) and download...

Not necessarily. I went to an electronic music conference once, and a guy from a boutique sound system company was demonstrating an optical vinyl player, which he said used the same red light technology as optical mice to get higher resolution sound out of a traditional record.

Of course, the player alone was about $20k CAD, the amplifier was about the same, a single speaker stack was $60k....it was basically all designed for shit-rich audiophiles. But they did let me play my own track on it (off of a USB; not on the record player), so that was cool 😊

I'm interested in a cheap laser vinyl player then instead, to be able to prevent scratches all together (thats if such thing even exists as it would need to sound better than standard players) [I'll hook it up with Fiio k7 or Ifi zen v3 for phono pre amp)

Really nice signature Hoopoe sound here, looking forward to the rest, I'll mainly be supporting the digital release for the time being lol unless it's a must for the collection.

This sounds like the second best thing hes made since Hutan. The other tunes has just been alternative lesser good versions pf hutan basically.

Edit. Although im still thinking his tunes sound too similar too eachother. I wish he could try making it spund just a little more distinct or colour it a little differently

It sounds really really nice indeed! Classic feeling. I hope the price for the vinyl will be good so I purchase it.

Pure fire from Hoopoe. The fact we are get albums from both him, JOOF and Enigma State this year is massive.
