Free Music Notes for Days of Future Passed (Reis)
Free Music Review: moody blues
Hit: 5 Stars
Excellent songs! Tuesday Afternoon and Nights in White Satin are popular ones, but I really like the progression of an entire day in this CD.Free Music Review: Now This Is A Decent Remaster!!!
Hit: 4 Stars
Well, I was never crazy about the 1997 remasters of the "core 7" period of the Moody Blues music. I listened to the original cd releases next to the '97 remasters, and really found little difference. Now, with the 2008 new remastered classics, the difference is clear! The sound is truly crisp and has a sonic clarity like never before (at least on cd.) I've read all the arguments about the "quad" versions picked for remaster here, but overall, I cannot complain about this new sound. I wish the "Peak Hour" track didn't have the analog crackling after the lyrics are over (at its end.) But, DOFP is a recording that is over 40 years old. Actually, it holds up rather well, all things considered! I love the Moody Blues, and I am so happy that I found a cd version of DOFP that I thoroughly enjoy. Lastly, the bonus tracks are amazing! There are five here from the "Prelude" compilation, a cd of non-album tracks. I'm so glad to have these songs on cd, since "Prelude" has been out of print for some time. I like the other bonus tracks as well. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" allows us to hear what the Moody Blues sounded like in 1967 in the studio off the cuff.Free Music Review: Very good music
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a classic album, the music doesn't feel dated and is a plesure to hear from time to time.
The quality of the recording is very godd, so I think this CD is a good buy.
Free Music Review: Good but disappointing
Hit: 3 Stars
No question, for clarity of sound the 2008 remaster is the best CD issue of this album ever, but....
Those of us who have been listening to this album (on vinyl) since it's release in 1967 were no doubt perplexed when we first heard it on CD. Why? Because the LP and the CD(s) contain different mixes. The story, as I've heard it, was that the album was remixed in 1978 because the original master tapes had deteriorated and all subsequent issues of DOFP have been made from this remix which lacks several key overdubs found in the original.
To some, perhaps most, the mix differences are inconsequential and hardly noticeable. For them I heartily recommend this CD. The clarity here is stunning and aside from a few instances where the musical background overpowers the vocals its about as good of a remaster as you're ever going to hear. The bonus material is interesting as well.
What is disappointing to me is that no CD has been released of the superior original mix. I have heard that there were plans to release one in 1997 (from a submaster?) but that never came about.
Until that happens I will jealously guard my early pressing of the vinyl LP as my preferred listening source for this classic album.
Free Music Review: the invisible product
Hit: 1 Stars
I would love to review this product as I am sure it would be fantastic. Unfortunately although I purchased it 5 weeks ago it still hasn't arrived? but still I am being asked for a review. for the product I guess I will have to wait to review. for Amazon 0/10 terrible service, impossible to speak to anyone, (can't even reply to person sending you e-mail) and the only recommendation I would give would be to avoid.
