The quality of the cover suggests the content has been rushed too.
He's too busy talking about artist rights and mp3 players all over the world at the moment.
I mean, how can someone screw up such a thing as Equinoxe? That's just beyond acceptable.

It's kind of typical in my opinion : the team does not mention anything about the "remasters"...no official site, no face, not twitter.

True, but I guess it's because this is a "Germany only" release for the moment.

Nope, I don't think this is the reason.

Amazon UK now list the live albums as 26th of May release, while the studio albums are temporarily out of stock.
I was going to cancel them all and order from Germany, but I've downloaded the autorip mp3s of Oxygene/Equinoxe so I'll get charged for that.
Instead, I've kept the studio albums from UK and ordered the live ones from Germany, for not much more.
I hope Amazon UK honour their 9th of May dispatch ETA!
As an aside listened to Equinoxe on iPhone today, and it's like it's been mastered using two different methods, the first four tracks vs the last four. More details once I've received the CDs, but I did notice that the middle part of E6 sounded REALLY weird. Anyone else with the remasters noticed that??

Every single album from '97 prove otherwise. Especially E&R proved otherwise...

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.
I'll start a separate thread with a review of each concert later.

Do you know when the next wave of remasters will come ?
I'm waiting for Waiting for Cousteau, Chronologie & Hong-Kong
