After all these years we finnally get this audio treat from M + M!!!
This recording should have been issued years ago on CD!

The remastering does this cd a world of good. Already a masterpiece in it's vinyl form, the remastering brings out alot of hidden sounds and noise that was not heard due to the first pressing on vinyl.
It's also great that now there are lyrics and pictures that were not issued on the record release. I am confused, however, that the order is different on this cd pressing than the vinyl.

Worth the $$$...and one of the few totally satisfying masterpieces from the 80's

This is just about as perfect as an can get. Finally getting the CD treatment it deserves, this is a great package. The original music stands up after all these years and the bonus tracks just extend the music pleasure. The live track is particularly stunning (great vocals, great guitar work) which serves to prove that Martha and the Muffins were and are some of the finest musicians that emerged from the 'post punk' scene. I love this album, the sounds, the music, the lyrics. It is an amazing album and this CD allows fans to hear it like they have never heard it before!

Now going for about 100 dollars in its past format as a 2-on-1 CD with the Mystery Walk album, Danseparc gets individual attention here, and is well worth the cheaper price for the great remastered sound quality and 3 bonus tracks, including the 12" mix of "Danseparc", its B-side "These Dangerous Machines", and a live version of Sins of Children that runs over 7 minutes long. B-52s quirkiness, Talking Heads sensibilities, shared male and female vocals with experimental synths and rhythms that are reminiscent of early Human League, make this reissue a must for fans of 80s alternative music. Let's hope rumors that "Mystery Walk" is on its way are true.

"Dansparc" as the original album alone is only about a three-star album. However if a CD reissue release includes the 12" version of "Dansparc" and "These Dangerous Machines" it's a real plus. "These Dangerous Machines" is one of my very favorite non-LP tracks. A package with "Mystery Walk" makes things all the more tempting. "Mystery Walk" is their second best album (a pretty solid 4-star work). Dansparc is probably their third best album.
