But did you base this on the mp3s/spotify ones , for the 2014 remasters ? or you got the cds already ?
These are from the preview, but the previews are almost always the ones the also end up on the CD. So don't keep your hopes up. I'll do another comparison as soon as I get my hands on one of these remasters but I'm in for the dissapointment! :wtf2:

Have you listened to them yourself out of interest? Loudness aside, how do they sound?

Hi everyone.

It seems to me that this is paying lip service to a back catalogue the associate parties want to maintain control of because of the copyright expiry issue.

I reckon that they've tried to consider the potential market for such material...

Existing fans are unlikely to buy the same thing again unless they are die hards or unless something really special was added. But perhaps there wasn't enough 'special' or it wasn't financially viable to put such a package together - not enough interest versus the amount of commitment involved?

So that leaves new markets. Potential new interest is likely to be small in number, so this will probably serve that purpose whilst committing the minimum of effort and financial risk.

Yup. It's like all the labels, the whole record industry is saying; "we hate this guy, lets not release anything fancy from him within the next 100 years or so..." LOL

I personally would have preferred money spent on additional material than money spent on remastering. What is the point anyway to these releases. Surely Sony and Jarre do not think they are tapping in to a potential "new" fan base. Anyone with sense can pick up previous releases far cheaper and better online. And the occasional new artwork is not enough to buy them all over again. I for one will be sticking with my existing copies.

I clicked, I thought it was loud. I downloaded and checked. It went past the 0dB limit. Now I'm giving the benefit of the doubt due to YT being sucky and all... But I honestly have 0 faith left...

People might call Michael Oldfield a cheap ass, but atleast he gives unheard material...
