Free Music Notes for Love (CD + Audio DVD)
Free Music Review: Buy it, Buy it!
Hit: 5 Stars
Once again, for the umpteenth time, Sir George Martin shows us what can be done with the melding of what was recorded on a few analog tracks, a few well placed microphones, and merging it with todays technology. You will not beleive what you hear. Overlain tracks, of different songs, but somehow it makes perfect sense. Segues from one track to another, seamless joinery, what a treat to hear! And best of all, very little over-doing it in the digital processing world. All the digital editing and processing seems as though it belonged there the first time the recordings were done, 40 years ago. ...Might have something to do with someone who *was* there having freedom to do this effort.
Gorgeously mixed, huge, wide, deep sound stage, there's something new to be found at each and every time you listen to it. Headphones might reveal some little background aberations from some of the original material now and again, but so what, it's original. This is a must have for any life-long Beatles fan.
Just buy it.
Free Music Review: What a sound quality!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've attended the live show, and I'd had to try the DVD to check out the sound quality. What a wonderful surprise, it's great. I felt almost like in the Mirage's LOVE Theater. If you compare the Stereo CD with the 5.1 DVD sound, you realize that it looks like a complete different sound experience.
The music: It's Beattles!!!
The production: Sir George Martin - what a wonderful job!!! Congratulations.
Free Music Review: DVD-Audio problems solved
Hit: 4 Stars
When I bought this DVD-Audio album, many of the tracks had a serious distortion problem that rendered the album unlistenable, which I now know is a fixable problem. I traded it in hoping for a non-defective copy. No luck. I went to the internet and found that I was not alone in this problem, but that it seemed to be somewhat equipment specific, my player, a Pioneer DV-578A being one of the afflicted. My center channel speaker doesn't have much response below 80hz so I have it marked as a "small" speaker in the setup menu, thus sending the lower frequencies to the front sides which are flat down to about 25hz. This works fine most of the time but not on "Love." When I changed the setup to a "large" center speaker, ALL audio problems vanished. I have never listened to the CD. Why would I want to! The audio quality on the DVD-Audio blows away any other Beatles sound I've ever heard except for 1960s vintage British pressings of the original albums, and in some ways, the DVD-Audio is to be preferred. For example stereo-recorded parts that were mixed down to mono hard panned to one side or the other on the original stereo album mixes are in real stereo here spread across 2 or more channels, as they were on the album, "1." Only here they sound much better with the much higher resolution of DVD-Audio. It rather whets ones appetite for SACD or DVD-Audio releases of the Beatles catalog with new mixes from the original parts in surround AND in stereo (and in some cases mono, too), designed to reflect the balances chosen in the original mixes, but without the hard panning and monoed down-mixes. Meanwhile we have this, not exactly the originals, but respectful and great sounding.Free Music Review: LOVE The Beatles

LOVE (CD + Audio DVD)
The sequence of grand classical Beatles music, both words and tunes, have been put together with sublime technical skill. The result is breathtaking for the ears. Did think some video on the DVD would have been available but I guess the video of LOVE The Beatles can be purchased separately. So all in all the CD is brilliant! Purchase and shipping from Amazon was spot-on, in a word excellent. Haydn Deane, Australia.
Free Music Review: Beatles Love CD+ Audio DVD
Hit: 1 Stars
OK so it says clearly AUDIO DVD, so call me stupid, but when I buy oranges I don`t look closely to make sure they are not "juiceless oranges" I expect a DVD to have pictures. I have never been so disappointed and felt so violated as when I put the DVD into my player and got a crappy Logo with the typed song title. To me this is a blatant manifestation of corporate greed. Why would anybody go to the trouble of making an Audio DVD unless it was just to get some sucker like me to fall for it and buy it.
I love the music, but I also love Cirq du Soleil and that's what I expected.
