David Ayers Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I used to have this LP - and maybe I still do - but I can't find it and thought I'd buy the CD. However I don't know the date or quality of the remastering. Can anyone comment? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Can't comment on that one specifically, but I've found all the ECM CDs to sound very good - just like the vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 The quality of the remastering is perfect. No reason to complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thanks for the advice. I think that the remastering dates from 1988, which made me sceptical, and while I don't have any ECM reissues, I have heard quite a few of their new recordings from the 1990s which were sonically disappointing - of their time, maybe, but nothing like close to the standards of the LPs. I guess I'll just have to shell out for this and take the risk. Or maybe re-buy the LP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 It's good. Hasn't got the sparkle or pop of the newest discs but it also doesn't have too much of their 'hanging in space' sound either. Very neutral and honest IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I bought many ECM LPs in the recenty years, including some albums that I already had on CD. Generally, the CDs sound more distant and flat, emphasizing the typical ECM sound. But both LPs and CDs sound very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I don't have it handy, so I can't comment on the date of issue but I think its from the early 90's and its up to the usual excellent ECM standards. Great album too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
