5.0 out of 5 stars Just What Is A 'Big Bam Boom'?, July 28, 2004

By	TomAzon (United States) - See all my reviews

For starters it's a great album. With their sixth number one song 'Out of Touch' leading the way, this re-mastered set by Daryl & John didn't go too far on the techno-side of rock; they left plenty of real instrumentation in but still were contemporary radio favorites with this and other songs like 'Method of Modern Love', 'Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid' and 'Possession Obsession'.

The album features 12-inch extended versions of 'Out of Touch', 'Method of Modern Love', 'Possession Obsession' and 'Dance On Your Knees'. The only one missing is the special mix of 'Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid' which appears on the '12-Inch Collection Volume Two', which I also recommend. (Pick up Volume One while you're at it).

The album also features recent interviews in the liner notes along with the lyrics.

As an extra treat, try playing the extended version of 'Dance On Your Knees' on your DVD player and play it backwards to hear Daryl singing 'Swept Away'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic 80's Album...a Must have H&O album...but..., March 15, 2007

By	S. Council "Chitown Reviews" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was excited to receive this album on CD as I was never able to find it at my local Best Buy for some time. I was even more eager to order the CD after I saw that this was a "ReMastered" CD. However, the sound quality isn't exactly crisp and clear. Portions of the CD sound muffled. I only paid $7.97 so I should have expected this. This album is truly a H&O classic and the additional remixes of "Out of Touch", "Dance on Your Knees", and "Possession Obsession" add a nice touch to close out this disc. However, the sound quality, though not horrible, was not what I hoped for.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice packaging, bonus tracks, sub-par sound, June 20, 2005

By	J. Grau "sly74" (nashville,tn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i saw the remasters and was pleased to see the 12"'s included as my original copies are pretty worn. However, getting to what matters, the sound. I opened and saw Darcy Proper's credit to the remastering and thought "oh no..." As usual, quite heavy noise reduction was used, leaving the sound feeling like it's trying to burst through a wall. It just sounds very processed. My recommendation for cd is either the 1996 remaster or the import Japanese 24 bit, which is a little bright but very nice overall. As for the the 12", i'm gonna splurge and get the Japanese 2-volume collection, which are 24 bit and reportedly sound very nice. Should have done that to start with! Oh well....
