Re: Madonna: Remasters and DVD-Audio
While just downstairs to grab my headphones for a game of Madden, I noticed my recently received remastered copy of "True Blue" sitting there opened but unplayed. I figured what the hell and slapped it in for a quick sampling before head back to start my game. I recall "La Isla Bonita" having some good Latin-tinged sounds, so that track was first. WOW, was I BLOWN AWAY!!! After being treated to some crystal clear percussion from that track, I proceeded to check out one of my favorite Madonna tunes, "Live To Tell." This track threw such a huge soundstage, my jaw was on the floor! I skipped from track to familiar track, waiting for one that sounded only so-so. Not happening here. I was astonished at how uniformly excellent this CD sounded...what a fantastic remastering job. This is easily the best I've ever heard these songs and it's easy to hear. Everything sounded so full, not just louder, but fuller. I'm not sure if the other 2 Madonna remasters sound as good as this one (I've checked out a few tracks from the Dire Straits Warner remasters and they're just a bit better than the previous versions), but after being so impressed here and with Yourmusic.com offering them up at a mere $7 a piece, it's a no-brainer. Well done.
