Pentangle, The [Remastered] - Pentangle

My Jazzy 'Birth Of Cool' by Miles Davies Remastered.

Advantages: Excellent Jazz Album.
Disadvantages: None!

a little bit of everything included and each song holds also, some fantastic memories for me, about my Grandparents, when I was growing up. They both used to dance around a lot to this CD and those memories of this music are happy ones to me that make me smile to myself when I think about this. I love listening to this album a lot and not because I am a huge jazz fan or anything, but because my Grandparents and all these songs, really mean a lot to me. This Birth of cool CD was re-mastered in 1998, as it originally was on a LP and sounded a bit crackly. Well this newer version is not perfect either, but it sure is a lot better sound quality than before. A further remake of this album called ?The complete Birth Of Cool is now also available with lots more added tracks by Miles Davis and it sounds great. A Little Bit About Miles Davis ...

Review of Birth Of The Cool [Remastered] - Miles Davis

It was an offer I couldn't refuse! Godfather triology remastered

Advantages: A wonderful dvd that will stand the test of time
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

Years ago I had the video box set of the trilogy and it was pride of place in my video collection. However, times change and technology improves and now the dvd has taken over and so the wheel keeps on turning. One thing however, I am pleased to say has stood the test of time are the Coppola classics The Godfather, Godfather II and Godfather III. This review is based on the re-mastered Godfather Trilogy dvd collection. The Godfather The film begins at the home of Don Vito Corleone on the day of his daughter Connie?s wedding. A grand affair with anyone who is someone in attendance. Don Corleone ,played by Marlon Brandon, is attending to business in his study while in the background you can hear the music and laughter from the wedding guests in the garden. It is tradition that a Don cannot refuse a favour on the day of his ...

Review of The Godfather Trilogy: Remastered Collection (DVD)

Metamatic Remastered

Advantages: Classic electro album, remastering adds a real boost
Disadvantages: None

a bit of a rush job sound wise, this one has been remastered and benefits from a far tighter sound, particularly the lower end where Foxx does like to crank it a bit. WIth a suitably decent HiFi there are some nice noises here to excercise your system but everyone should benefit from the improved quality. A further bonus is the inclusion of extra tracks in the form of singles and B-sides from around the Metamatic era although some start to lean towards the rather different sound he adopted with the next album, The Garden. For anyone who was around between the mid 70's to late 80's and has an interest in the roots of electro, this is a must have purchase. Foxx seems to be going the way of Numan from a few years back i.e. long forgotton but suddenly being namechecked by the great and the good and in Foxx's case, whether it's the three ...
