Morph the Cat deheaded


Any one else notice that the vinyl copy of this album is seriously flawed. The low end is too bloated and the highs are missing in action. It sounds like Steve Hoffman mixed this using only headphones. It is a shame since this is a great album and would be even more fun if the mix was correct.

The DVDA and CD both sound much better, which is usually not the case.

I'll side with 4yanx here - Morph is fine sounding LP - mostly analog, but one which has obviously seen ProTools. I think one of the nice aspects of this vinyl pressing is that it demonstrates how FAR digital has come in the past 20 years. I would describe Morph's bass as articulated and extended, but certainly not bloated (any bloating may be the result of the fact that this is one hell of a thick/heavy LP - I certainly need to adjust VTA while spinning it). HF extension seems fine to me, perhaps just a wee bit of top end EQ applied during vinyl mastering to give it a more analog "feel", and to avoid some of potentially clinical sound that might have resulted from too much time on the computer. Musically, I rather like Morph, albeit the fact it has taken time to warm up to. I believe I like it better than Two Against Nature, though each has its own strengths and weknesses.
