I would love a copy of the faulty cd, can anyone get one now or did they pull them all?

I have no idea about this site but they apparently have the faulty version up – http://www.deezer.com”>http://www.deezer.com

at least based on – http://twitter.com/cgavibes/statuses/2497539933″>http://twitter.com/cgavibes/statuses/2497539933

I have one of the faulty CD’s and I’m keeping mine for sure!

I talked to a friend of mine who works at the local record store and he told me that he hasn’t heard anything about the corrupted version and that PIAS did not inform them about the misspressings and they’re still selling off the stock of cd’s that came in a couple of weeks ago ….

Is the same problem in the downloadable version using the code from the european Farm limited edition double vinyl? Cos I downloaded the files and they sound really bad. Haven’t checked the actual vinyl though, but will tomorrow.

Thanks.

Depends on where you downloaded them. I did see a report of deezer (see my post above) that had bad copies.

It was not all of the PIAS produced cds as far as I’ve heard, just a few batches. I imagine they only contacted those stores that were shipped copies from that batch

This resulted in a 3dB increase in the overall sound volume.

I bought the faulty version yesterday and I was surprised that it’s only a 3db increase because it sounds twice as loud as the vinyl & the 2cd version. But then I don’t remember much from physics class, so it could be that 3db is actually a lot.

I also picked up a flawed copy a couple of weeks ago, so it seems like there are still quite a lot of them out there in stores…

A 3db increase represents pretty much exactly a doubling in power (10 to the power of 3/10 is 1.99526…), so "sounds twice as loud" is right on the money.

Yes, I would think so. In the store I bought it they had put up a sign that informed about the mastering error and the customers could choose between the flawed and the correct version.

I knew it would pay off that freakscene has its own physicist, thanks for the math maxini
