Yes I agree with you there, some of his tracks are dance-y so this kinda remastering makes them a bit more clubby. However it doesn't justiy the technique and mistakes at all.
My main issue with the sleeves is that the back sleeves are all stylised as "Jean-Michel Jarre" while the fronts of only ...
Even when you take into mind that the remasters are LOUD because essentially that's what the record company wants (that and they're not doing this for old fans), that's just subpar work. Good grief.
I just let my girlfriend listen to it, totally not a Jarre fan and someone who knows not much ...
I'm going to listen to them all today, but yeah what you say Dr_Jones is so disappointing.
I'm sorry Kanta but there's no way you can't be disappointed with the pitch bending in the first minute or Rendezvous 2! Just listen to the original and this "remaster" and tell me you don't mind it.
The 5 albums arrived today from Germany. Quick listening is disappointing sadly, however one HUGE issue is the horrendous pitch bend and reverb during the first minute of R2 Part 1.
What were they thinking. Anyone else notice it?
These albums are clearly remasters with tin can in mind, not ...
I heard the Remasters 2014 on the AeroSystem One once transferred from CD to MP3 and they were quite good (apart from not the highest volume). I really think the main issue is what speakers / headphones you are listening from.
Thing is, music should sound good no matter what speakers or ...
Who in the world could have seen sucky remasters coming!? Colour me suprised!
No not really...
Haha, but you see the disappointing thing is that Houston is actually really good, and the three tracks I mention in DD are really good as well. It's the inconsistency that's annoying :/
@Icarus: Yes I did, I bought all 6 remasters, and funnily enough the studio albums have arrived today
I'll review them all properly. I haven't listened to Docklands properly yet but it does sound quite good when I've had a quick listen. Loud still though
I've received the first batch of remasters from Amazon Germany, that being the live concerts. Rather than crowd the original thread about the remasters, I thought I'd post here my reviews of each CD as they come.
Of course, this is just my opinion and you may not ...
Got my live CDs from Germany today, and preliminary listening is actually quite good. They're all louder than the originals true, but actually mastered quite well, particularly Destination Docklands, I must admit I'm liking it a lot more than I expected.
Oxygene and Equinoxe have turned up in my Amazon cloud player, albiet in MP3 format. Will have a listen in the car today and report back.
Also, listening to those jarregirl vids (thanks!) and a bit of O4 on my cloud player, it seems that the remasters are yet again obsessed with highs and treble ...
