Nah, a few decent songs on it but the production is atrocious. There's another mix of it floating around that sounds much better. Probably listed on that site a few posts back.

I don't have it, but I believe the remaster included 3 different versions. Must pick one up if it does. I actually like the original release mix, it has aged quite well and the drums are nice and heavy on it. Didn't Scott Litt end up glossing it all over before it came out too? Wonder what it was like before that it must've been as rough as the road

Never understood the hate Albini gets for his recordings considering he says himself he is an engineer, not a producer - he gives the band what they want and records it as best as possible but doesn't "produce" the records for them, the style of recording is the band's own choice each time iirc from interviews (with obviously him engineering it in favour of how they want).  His goal being to capture the sound of  a band as is rather than polish it to death.  But then again I also prefer quare and ragged production over crystal clear and polished up but that's a personal preference.

Skin Chamber: Wound

I have only recently discovered these and Skullflower, as a Swans and Godflesh fan, both tickle my fancy indeed.

[Don Gately]

I Remember Wound back in the day. Bought a cheap cassette version for 2 quid. Good album

[astfgyl]

Why does that ring a bell, Skin Chamber? That something from the old metal hammer/terroriser days? I'm intrigued at the mention of Godflesh and Swans anyway

I only dug out both Wound and Trial on cassette recently. Both quality albums think they reissued both on double CD.

[Carnage]

Yeah, Metal Mind put out a double disc reissue, it seems. Cheap enough, too.

Both bands sound like they'd have fitted in Terrorizer's coverage in the early days alright.

Just ordered the digi as my cassettes arent in great shape.

A hybrid of Skinlab and Coal Chamber?
Sounds horrific though!
