by Low — Sub Pop, 2018 · Reissue: 2023 remaster on 180g vinyl
"Five years on, the record still sounds like a snowstorm interrupting a sermon. Boscovich's remaster doesn't gild it — it simply gives the silences somewhere to land. The bass weight on 'Quorum' is something the CD never quite managed; on the wax it lives in your chest."
Narrow the stack by genre, decade, or star rating. Sort by what matters to you — newest, highest rated, or the records our members keep returning to.
by Yusuf Dayes · Brownswood, 2023
A sprawling, percussion-led record that treats rhythm as the lead voice. The 2LP gatefold is one of the most handsome releases of the year.
by Nils Frahm · Erased Tapes, 2024 reissue
Three hours of patient, breathing synthesizer. The new half-speed master is a quiet revelation — the bottom octave finally has somewhere to go.
by Ella Fitzgerald · Verve / Mosaic, 2024
A 1965 live tape that finally gets the mastering it deserved. Acoustic, unstained, and a bit of a holy grail for vocal-jazz collectors.
by Black Country, New Road · Ninja Tune, 2025
The band's third LP finds them at their most melodic without losing the odd-time signatures. The 2LP+10" edition is a beautiful, heavy object.
by Ka · Iron Works, 2024 anniversary edition
A quiet, brutal masterpiece reissued on gold vinyl. The lacquers were cut from the original masters — it sounds exactly as it did, only better.
by Joni Mitchell · Reprise / AP, 2023
A record many of us know by heart, finally sounding like it was always meant to. The 45RPM cut is the only version of "Blue" you need in your house.
