Any opinions on vinyl audio quality of Dead Can Dance's new Dionysus?

Just curious if anyone that has purchased the new Dead Can Dance release Dionysus on vinyl can comment on the audio quality and if it's up to their usual standards. They have a new label and I was hoping standards haven't declined. Also curious if there are any comparisons between the cd and vinyl audio quality. I found the vinyl to be superior in their last release Anastasis.

The LP is superior to the CD, and the LP is stunning in quality and sonics. The music is a lot more "mid-eastern" and Lisa Girard is not prominent. But all in all, a great release.

I've only heard it streaming, but I'd say it's one of their best produced albums. It's got a huge, deep, spacious sound. 

I'm not sure I'd call it middle eastern sounding. I'd say eastern Mediterranean. It's definitely DCD in that antique style, but this is one of their richer, more layered works. It's definitely a complete concept album that takes you on a journey more than any of their other albums. I really like it a lot. It's what I'm listening to right now.
