On March 2nd, 2020, Miller’s estate announced that a deluxe version of the album Circles will be released.

Doesn’t affect sound quality but I’ll get Swimming fixed because there is something about a warped record that makes my skin crawl.Over its 40 years in business, PIAS has grown to be one of the largest independently-owned music groups in the world, carving out its own in-house recorded music division PIAS [Recordings]. Sidebar : I never understood why Post Malone gets demonized for doing what Mac Miller did similarly during his career - which is using hip-hop as a catapult to perform other genres of music.

The packaging is kind of cheap--I should probably replace the liners--but the included memorabilia are really lovely. I'd recommend picking up the albums separately, I don't see any merit in choosing this instead, unless you really like the colour or something. This album has more of a "monotonous" production when compared to other hip-hop albums, but the dynamics of this pressing really bring this simple laid back production to new heights. It'll certainly be more costly than the translucent white, but it's worth every penny because of its far superior quality. If you’re not particularly excited about it just get Swimming (there is an UO blue that looks just like it) and Circles separately.Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene. Conceived as a sister album to 2018's full length Swimming, the album was completed with the assistance of Jon Brion, with whom Miller worked on Swimming and had been working together on Circles at the time of his passing. A routinely great artist, much of Sufjan's universal appeal comes from his skills as a gifted narrator, pairing personal musings on love and devotion with commentary on American culture, whilst welding folk and electronica, the ambient and existential. The album contains two bonus songs, respectively titled “Right” and “Floating,” the latter featuring vocals and instrumentation by Thundercat. Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.

Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee. They stated the CD will drop Friday, March 6th, the deluxe version will drop Thursday, March 19th and the vinyl will release Friday, April 17th. Made in the EU" printed on back cover and LP labels, yet runouts indicate GZ Media plating (in Czech Republic) and Precision Record Pressing manufacturing (in Canada).The other, on the third disk, side 2, for some reason it changes from Mac Miller - Circles to Bon Jovi - This House Is Not For Sale (Live From The London Palladium), its only for side 2 of disk 3 as when you go to disk 4 it switches back to Circles. It's a momentous final entry into the discography of an artist that remains at the center of reimagining the limits of rap. This version was actually my third crack at a physical record for this wonderful album because the first two (both of them translucent white) sounded horrible to put it mildly. What I can gather from other reviews is that the QC is pretty poor, and you'd have to be quite lucky to land all 4x LP that sounds good. It wasn't just the surface noise (which was terrible), but general playback sounded muted and muddy with painfully rolled-off treble.
