This is as BS series. All of them are simply crappy vinyl pulls thrown through a track slammer or a multiband comp or some sort "sweetener" plugin. Its garbage and done by someone with peanut butter in their ears. Save your cash and do your own vinyl pulls.
-
Edited 11 years agoAgreed with all the reviews so far:
1. the sound of this CD is somewhat distorted and overall overcompressed (boooooo!), but...
2. ...the rare 'Goodbye Horses' (hooray!) makes worth the bucks you paid for this CD.
One could question the digital remastering with "the Aural Submissions™ process" though. Stating "Any audio imperfections are due to original source masters" is all too easy. Just it you ripped Goodbye Horses from vinyl and tried to polish it as good as you could, don't tell you remastered the original source master... -
Edited 14 years agoI have more than 5000 CDs in my collection but this one is one of
the worst sounding CDs I've ever listened to! The sound is heavily
distorted as they used a too high compression/amplification. -
Edited 20 years agoA selection of thoroughly dodgy remixes with only two exceptions, The Jellybean remix of Alphaville's 'Jet Set' and the track that gives this CD 5/5 - Q Lazzarus 'Goodbye Horses (Extended Version)' as used in the infamous Buffalo Bill 'Skin Suit' scene from Silence of the Lambs. You can either shell out $500 and upwards for the original 12" - if you can find it - or buy this CD.
