Performance: Sonics (S): |
I bought all five SACDs and have been a Moody Blues fan since the late late 1960's.
The engineers kept these SACDs as close to the original sound as they could. As a result, the emphasis is on the bass, vocals, mid-range, and a smoooooth sound.
The vocals and bass guitar are outstanding. Better than the record, in my opinion. The SACD is dynamic and makes the CD sound flat. And everything is smoooooth. The instruments stand out. On the CD, I have difficulty telling the instuments from one another.
I've never listened to this album. So I can't compare to the original. It's sonically one of the better MB SACDs. However, I just can't get into the storyline. It bores me to listen to this album. I'm not sure why. I know thoers who really love it.
Being true to the original, in most cases, the drums are muted. It's as if they are behind the curtain. And the trebble is smooth, but drops off way to early. I guess the engineers wanted that smoooooth sound.
