I think the time I listened to Loveless while out of my bin on pills at dawn on New Year’s Day a few years back is the opposite of this experience and is one hundred times better than what’s promised here

Slightly tempted to listen to Loveless on a decent sound system, but is this just going to be rubbish?

Reckon a fiver is about my limit for this type of thing but don’t necessarily think it’s a bad idea. Struggle to sit and listen to an album and do nothing else these days.

Two observations:

  • Carrie and Lowell is a bit of a weird choice for this type of thing
  • All the albums are by men, with the semi-exception of MBV

I would honestly seriously consider going to the Loveless or the Purple Rain ones if I lived in London. If someone said to me “do you wanna go listen to Loveless on the highest quality audio setup available to you (outside of a professional studio) for less than a tenner” I would be like hell yeah why not. Listening to your favourite album in an audio treated room on a very high quality system is simply not feasible for most people.

As a side note, it would be good if they did it using albums released in true 5.1 surround sound, such as Remain in Light and Rumours, rather than upscaling the audio from stereo as they describe in their FAQ

Yeah honestly the price is steep but its not at all a terrible idea. Would say £5 max. Unless you live locally by the time you consider transport and all that buzz its just a little ott
