I agree this is a very good heavy pressing with a big wide and deep soundstage. Lots of good ear candy. I have the vinyl and have not heard the cd version. My guess, Jedi is that the vinyl is uncompressed and the CD is highly compressed (loudness war) resulting in the volume discrepancy you reference. All the more reason to go analog!
Daft punks RAM on vinyl
I picked up Daft punks Random Access Memories on vinyl, holy crap is it well recorded ! Very quite and clean 180 gram double lp. I love the music, its fantastic. Its recorded in all analog, and it sounds that way. 6 million in the making, its up there with Dark side of the moon in production. Nile rodgers, Paul williams, Giorgio Moroder, drums and bass from the house band from Michael Jacksons Thriller album, Chili Gonzales, Panda Bear, real 70 piece orchestra, no pro-tools, real Nasa tapes fun ass masterpiece, well done Daft punk, Well done.
