Member CD Reviews Sonoko F. from MONTCLAIR, NJ Reviewed on 4/8/2007... Underrated - strong melodies, rocks hard, has held up well over the years. only reason i'm swapping is because i have two copies.
CD ReviewsWhat happened here? Are they deaf? Michael Prager | Chatsworth, CA United States | 01/24/2007 (1 out of 5 stars) "Gotta say, this was my first DM CD back in the 90's (yes, I was a late bloomer for DM I'm afraid). However, I fell in love with the original mix and after listening to this new 'revision', the mix has suffered greatly. Honestly one of the worst 5.1 mixes I've ever heard. I love the idea of surround mixing and listening to music in surround (Queen's 'A Night at the Opera' is the best example), but right from the get go "I feel you" had to be one of the worst excuses for 5.1 mixing I've ever heard. You would think for a band that really embraced technology they would have done a better job here, but no such luck I'm afraid. I am going to see if I can return this. Shame on you DM, you really let me down here." Huge disappointment Art | Los Angeles, CA United States | 02/05/2007 (2 out of 5 stars) "First off, the main reason I have purchased all of these Depeche Mode special editions is primarily for the 5.1 surround mix. Being a huge fan of Depeche Mode and surround-sound music in general, the idea of remixing their music for this format seemed like a natural fit. And one listen to Violator proves that point beyond a reasonable doubt. I also appreciate the care that went into producing each set - with bonus tracks, videos, documentaries, etc. These definitely feel like truly special editions, unlike other sets where you get one disc with a cd on one side and dvd on the other. As a side note, I have to agree with Bob from LA - there is NO reason the bonus tracks should only be available on the DVD, but I wouldn't go so far as to suggest a multi-channel, dvd-only edition.
Anyway, getting back to SOFAD, my primary complaint with this set is that the 5.1 mix is completely off. After being blown away by the surround mixes for Violator, MFTM, and Some Great Reward, I had high expectations for this set as SOFAD is my favorite DM album. Unfortunately, whoever worked on this project (Alan Wilder?) either rushed through the project or was asleep at the mixing board. The bass on the opening track itself should be very deep and present, but instead, the whole song seems to get lost in the top end with very little midrange or subwoofer presence. There isn't much difference in the remaining tracks, again as if the idea of surround was an afterthought. I could go on, but this is sadly just a lost opportunity. Let's hope they don't miss the boat with Ultra." |
