Great album. . . Not so great sound quality

"I've been a fan of Sir Menelik/Scaramanga since the beginning and I've been waiting for this official release for years now. I already had half the songs on singles and such but it's still nice to get them all on one collection with several new joints as well. Not as good as "Seven Eyes, Seven Horns" but it's certainly worth it for classic tracks like "Nightwork", "So Intelligent", "Macroscope" and "Terrorworks".
The only problem is some of the songs seem to have been transfered from someone's old Tonemaster cassette tapes. Sun Large Records went to enough trouble to offer this long overdue release in a handsome package, they could have given us a decent mix-down as well. But if you're even looking at this page you know who Sir Menelik is and if you know who he is then you're likely a true-school head so a little hiss shouldn't bother you too much."
