Verzon Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: April 2000 Posted: April 19 2000, 14:34 I really like those record companies. Really. They take the decision to remastered artist catalog at a time you have bought every albums. I hope those remastered albums will be good enough. Sometimes you don't hear a lot of difference from the original CD to the remastered one, I remind me the case of the Rush remasters back in 1998. Just another way to get our money a second time. But it could be a good thing considering the poor quality of the artwork and sleeve design of the first editions. I think about it when they will be release, the remasters, cause I spent a lot of money on Oldfield's stuff. In my case, I need to replace 6 albums: Tubular Bells, Incantations, QE2, Crises and Five Miles Out. I'm happy to have bought them less than 10$ each. What price must we expect for the remasters?

Now you can buy new album of the best compositor in the whole world and be shure, that this record is really good. If you bought a really new record, you wouldn't know is it nice - now you are sure (especialy if you bought TB,HR,OM,INC or AMRK)! Back to top

A unreleased product !!! For artwork : I don't know, for example, I prefear FMO' Vinyl Edition, with this marvellous mixing pattern in the centerfold. Of course, if you've got the picture CD, it's nice too, but... And when my CD is IN my cd player, I don't care at all of the artwork on it ! In all cases (IMO), a CD is VERY VERY too small for a good Artwork... But, is this remastered are really needed ? Or does Virgin doing this only to try to surf over MO WEA and Berlin2K success ? Does MO really decide that the first released were such BAD that they should remaster them ? Did he listen them (what a scoop !!!) ? Will MO remaster them himself ? I guess it will be Sound Engineer's vision of MO record, and not MO vision of his OWN music... I won't buy the remastered CD : TB : Vinyl, CD, Boxed, remastered...How many more ????? In my country, CD are expensive. Yes they are ! So I agree to pay for a new music, but I certainly will not pay for 17 new album : they will cost 17x140 French Francs ! Of course, maybe some of oldest album could be improved by this remastering... You know, they should do like software, a full price for major version, and only 10% for minor version... A kind of TB 1.3, HR1.1 etc -------------- Cheers, GMOVJ [URL=http://tubular.fodplanet.com]http://tubular.fodplanet.com[/URL] - The french speaking mailing list Back to top

Well, I want to buy every remaster too, but I have to save up to more than 400 dutch guilders! I hope it will feature unreleased pictures! As for the artwork, I really hope they make something nice of it. And of course the quality. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

If I remember the topic about this I will post it here. I have four of the HDCD remasters (Hergest Ridge, Discovery, Islands and Heaven's Open) and I'm not sure about any major differences in quality or anything. I'm definatly not in a rush to go out and buy them all as well as all the normal editions. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top
