Reviews

Edited one year agoBoth layers sound excellent and I boldly claim that this is a definitive edition and well worth owning. The mastering on this edition is another stunning example of the potential of this format. -
Not a review of the musical content, concept or execution, because we all know this project is probably one of the greatest modern 'musical' evocations ever put out. I will briefly comment on the remixing and if you have a photographic memory and aversion to arrangement tinkering this may not be for you. I am constantly taken out of the immersive flow of the music by slight differences all over the place. Some guitar lines in 'Brave New World' have been re-recorded so the phrasing is different, marimbas are more noticeable elsewhere, a whole host of touches and shifts of foreground/background leave me a little adrift. Only 'The Spirit of Man' retains enough oomph to stop my mind wandering into "ah, that's changed" territory. Which is my problem as none of the changes are egregious, it's just that there was nothing wrong with it beforehand!
