4.0 out of 5 stars Remasters?, October 26, 2005

This review is from: Corroboree / True Colours (Audio CD)

There's little-to-no printed evidence that these are recently remastered editions, but having said that, the recording quality sounds very good to me -- definately amped up the volume to today's digital standards (as opposed to the most original A to D transfers that were weak in volume and dynamics).

As for the music, well, I can't add much to the individual CD reviews already. Both of these efforts are eccentric, slightly off-kilter melodic delights with crunchy and jangly guitars, creative keyboards, great rythm support and the wonderfully warped singing sensibilities of the Brothers Finn. To my ears, Corroboree feels a bit "tired" in comparison to True Colours, but it's still nothing to sneeze at. 3 1/2 stars overall and an extra half star for sheer inventiveness.

Now, how about a 3 pack with Dizrythmia remastered!!! Please?!

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware, Corroboree is not remastered!!!, February 2, 2006

This review is from: Corroboree / True Colours (Audio CD)

Yes, The True Colors CD is the latest 2004 remastered version. However, this is the 1992 CD release for Corroboree. I'd hoped it was remastered as it not available remastered in the single cd version. That's great if you don't own these already. Otherwise, Beware, as I now have not one, but 2 copies of cds that I already owned. Waste of money!! Deceptive item description!!!
