Probably doesn't care. He's getting his pay check regardless. I wonder if these errors ended up on the vinyl as well.Jote wrote:(Srsly, is he deaf?!)
In other words - it's a copy of the CD edition, where part 9 and 10 fade into each other?Elf wrote:The way Oxygene 9 stops is just plain weird. It's like someone just suddenly turned the sound off. It ends just before the intro to Oxygene 10.
After turning to side B, Oxygene 10 just starts straight away, just like it does on my CD version (the screaming theremin like sound). That kind of works, actually. No exra sounds that I could hear.
Pardon me but when has he blamed Sony for the extreme loudness? I must have missed that.shadow wrote:As much as I absolutely love owning all three albums on transparent vinyl, absolutely everything seems half baked about it. Missing drum hit in Part VI, clicks and pops through the entirety of Oxygene 7-13 and Oxygene 3 being ridiculously loud. Vinyl isn't much better and seems like a straight digital rip and are off-center for some.
I adore Jean-Michel, however that he keeps letting these things slip through and ends up blaming Sony in the end is terrible. Take some responsibility as the actual owner of the records. Put your foot down, say no and don't budge no matter what. If Vangelis and Mike Oldfield have full control over their older works why not him? The albums sound worse than they've ever done in the past fourthy years and it's amazing that this is the anniversary of one of the most celebrated electronic albums ever.
It's what JMJ said according to Elf who published an interview with him in a Norwegian newspaper.docklands88 wrote: Pardon me but when has he blamed Sony for the extreme loudness? I must have missed that.
Elf wrote:"Oh, by the way. All Oxygene albums have been remastered again for the new package, "with an analogue approach (no loudness war!) " and Jarre said he completely agreed with all the fans who have been complaining about the latest remasters. Jarre said they are awful, and that they were done by the record company and was out of his hands.
While true for Rosetta (aside from those three errors in the main master which persists in all versions of the album), don't forget the quality of Vangelis' "own" 2013 remasters. : <shadow wrote:If Vangelis and Mike Oldfield have full control over their older works why not him?
I noticed them too! I thought it was the player and my headphones at first, and then I compared it with the originals.Jote wrote:I'm sorry, I just can't get over how bad this "remaster" is - Oxygene 7-13 is littered with random pops/cracks, that I can hear even through laptop speakers, not to mention headphones, old 5.1 basic Creative speakers or Yamaha HS50M studio monitors. It is especially evident for instance in Oxygene 9 between 2:40 and 2:50. I thought maybe my CD was not ripped properly but I checked it against other rips/download versions (against the 48kHz/24bit as well) and it's the same. I've been careful to stay out of the "remastered" territory for many years so this is all new to me.
I guess maybe not everyone is able to hear them. I checked my own CD rip, other CD rip and a 48/24 copy. They are present in all of them.Oxynoxe wrote:Strange: I do not hear any pops/cracks in Oxygene 9, even not between 2:40 and 2:50.Jote wrote:It is especially evident for instance in Oxygene 9 between 2:40 and 2:50.
I'm listening to the 48kHz/24bit Trilogy-files from Qobuz, on a Mac with Audirvana+ via good Headphones.
