3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Special about this 25th Anniversary Edition, July 4, 2009

This review is from: Alegri­a (Audio CD)

Length:: 7:20 Mins

I don't know what the reason for this release is. There are already THREE versions of this soundtrack CD. The original OST from 1994, the extended version from 2001 and the 1994'er "Re-Release" version from 200x, which is virtually identical to this one. Correction! This version has a cheaper CD case, made up entirely out of paper, no plastic, except for the CD itself... oh and this version costs a few Dollars more.

I compared this version to the other three (which I also own) and don't know what they "remastered". The audio is the same. The music is great, but you are better off with the previous release of the album (Alegría) or better, the extended version from 2001, which has two additional tracks and the same audio quality and a real CD Case (Alegria + Manipulation & Flying Man).

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Re-Mastered: Marketing Gimic, September 2, 2009

This review is from: Alegri­a (Audio CD)

I give this one star, not because of the music, but because of the way this CD is misleadingly titled on amazon.com and because of Cirque's recently poor marketing gimics. This item is misleadingly titled "re-mastered" edition by amazon.com. A representative told me that this is not re-mastered. Before you buy this item, you should deffinately know that it is a cardboard pocket with the CD loosley placed inside. Just stick with buying the original AlegriA CD. This should be called " Cirque du Soleil, Alegria (eco-friendly, carboard pocket cover edition). Cirque's attempt at being eco-friendly negatively affects the consumer because the CD is not protected by this flimsy, cardboard pocket forcing the consumer to purchase a regular plastic cover to protect hers or his CD in order for it to last a long time. And I'm pretty sure people want their products to last a long time when they spend their hard-earned money on it. A big DUH to Cirque. This is Cirque's way of trying to make the consumer spend $20.00 on a CD with a title that makes the consumer think she or he is getting more for hers or his money when in fact they are getting less!!!
