I'm really digging this! Especially the slow versions.

Makes me wonder about the vinyl release though. Are you getting one record that plays the "45" speed at 33, and another which plays the "33" speed at 33? This would give you the ability to play a warp-speed version, and then the other record, if played at 45, would sound the same as the 33-- I'm getting confused.

Love it anyway!

It's the same 2 records, they just thought it sounded as good or better at 33, but it is actually mastered at 45, so 45 is the "normal version".

I'll have to listen again, I didn't think much of it (played at 45). Kind of the same psych boogie riffs I've heard many times over.

Kandodo live with Robert Hampson at Roadburn was amazing, so maybe it's a live/studio kind of preference.

I finally figured out the speed thing, and yeah it is that simple, just 2 "45rpm" records since, of course, that doesn't hold as much time as a 33 LP would.

I am not utterly impressed by the full speed but have been listening to the slow tracks all morning and love it!

For whatever reason, I haven't been able to get too into the frenetic noodling of The Heads but I really like Kandodo. Their droning is right up my alley.

I shall re listen at 33 and see if that changes the groove to the better.

I probably listened to Om "Adavatic Songs" 2 times at 33 before I realized it was mastered at 45. Now I don't like it as much.
