Today I've got this disc from Music Direct,and I must say it will end up on Ebay or Half.com.
I have this on CD a '96 reissue "enhanced" cd[pc content],which proclaims it self as the "Ultimate Train".
Well it is superrior to both the new CD layer and the 2ch SACD layer.
It seems that a different person from the 96 reissue mastered it,there wasn't mentioning of any new mix,bit it's certainly sounds that way.
It's probably the classic situation that new equipment put it's on signature sound on this without doing any remix?
I don't know, all I can say is this new disc is sounding very "digital",the soundstge is pushed forward[just like the DSOTM],and it's louder as well,and sounds a bit "compressed" too.Cymbals sounds like crap,no "tail" or "air" around instruments,it's lifeless.And it's not more detail it's glare!
I'm very disappointed!
