This is a vinyl rip of our 2015 debut album Perception. It is created for those of you who prefer the warm sound of an LP over the digital files. This rip is of course not a substitute for the real thing, but allows you to enjoy a more true-to-vinyl sound and vibe, while listening on the go. Clicks and pops included.
It is recorded from the 2017 Audiophile 180g black vinyl pressing, which is the first repress to use the remaster by Hans Olsson Brookes at Svenska Grammofon Studion and the Abbey Road Cut.
Perception (LP/CD/Digital) can be purchased on:
In addition, the vinyl-rip is available (in highest-quality) as a free download for all members of The Sonic Dawn fan club:
