Description
MINT CONDITION, PLAYED ONCE OUT OF CURIOSITY OF NEW DMM REMASTERING. By far my favorite Animal Collective album, tied with APP, which is available for sale in the same condition. I bought it in NY on Bleeker Street for the buy it now price, willing to let go for less then that since it is actually opened. The sound is amazing and though it still has the warm sound that only vinyl has, this new way of recording makes the records sound like non other. Superb. HAPPY BIDDING! ;)

*LIMITED EDITION 180g 'DIRECT METAL MASTERING' EDITION OF THE CLASSIC ALBUM* Their most involving and accessible work to date, 'Sung Tongs' is a stunning, modern folk / pop album - referencing points from Syd Barrett to Fennesz, The Beach Boys to Kompakt-style electronica, Joe Boyd, múm, Simon & Garfunkel. . Beautifully produced, the album is filled with catchy songs and intricate arrangements; built around gorgeous vocal harmonies and twin acoustic guitars. Effortlessly more 'pop' than previous releases, it nevertheless retains the invention and sonic adventure of previous LPs. Whilst restricted distribution / limited pressings have meant previous releases slipping under the radar, here's your chance to discover the Animal Collective at their most engaging. Recommended.

Information on DMM Recording:
Direct Metal Mastering is a vinyl record manufacturing technology by TELDEC. Records manufactured with this technology are often marked by a "DMM" logo on the outer record sleeve. The cutting lathe for DMM engraves the audio signal directly onto a copper-plated master disc, instead of engraving the groove into a lacquer-coated aluminum disc. Examination of early DMM discs revealed what appeaered to be a high frequency modulation in the groove, thought to be caused by the use of an ultrasonic carrier tone. In fact, there was no carrier tone and the modulation was simply caused by the vibration (squeal) of the cutter head as it was dragged through the copper disc.
The Direct Metal Mastering technology addresses the lacquer mastering technology's issue of pre-echoes during record play, caused by the dutting styles unintentionally transferring some of the subsequent groove wall's impulse signal into the previous groove wall. In particular, a quiet passage followed by a loud sound often clearly revealed a faint pre-echo of the loud sound occurring 1.8 seconds ahead of time (the duration of one revolution at 33 rpm). This problem could also appear as post-echo, 1.8 seconds after a peak in volume. Another improvement is noise reduction. The lacquer mastering method bears a higher risk of adding unwanted random noise to the recording, caused by the enclosure of small dust particles when spraying the silvering on the lacquer master, which is the necessary first step of the electroplating process for reproduction of the master disc. As the DMM master disc is already made of metal (copper), this step is not required, and its faults are avoided.
