To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Underworld's 'dubnobasswithmyheadman', the record has been meticulously remastered by Miles Showell for a deluxe reissue on CD and vinyl, working closely with Rick Smith.
For the double vinyl LP, Miles used a specialist technique known as half-speed mastering. This process transforms difficult to cut high-end frequencies into relatively easy to cut mid-range frequencies, resulting in cuts that have excellent high frequency response (treble) and very solid and stable stereo images. In short, a high quality master that helps the pressing plant create a high quality record.
Cutting vinyl at half-speed requires adapted lathes: one of Abbey Road Studios' Neumann VMS-80 lathes has been modified to accommodate this highly specialised process.
The deluxe 'dubnobasswithmyheadman' vinyl reissue is out on 6th October - pre-order your copy here.
