Always great checking in with my friend Cal and listening to vinyl on his amazing sound system... Miles and XTC... the Steven Wilson remix of English Settlement is particularly incredible... so much is revealed, it's brighter and denser, the drums are clearer and more powerful, and the vocals are razor-sharp... I always thought that album was one of their muddiest-sounding, so this just sounds so much better... the mixes of the new vinyl versions of the last two XTC albums sound closer to my ears to the original CD releases than the Apple Vinyls mixes did...
