4.0 out of 5 stars HDCD to the rescue!, October 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lark's Tongues in Aspic (Audio CD)

I've always loved the music on this album but until now have only been able to listen to the live versions on the Great Deceiver box set. The sound of the standard cd was horrible! So I decided to take a chance on this new remastering. Believe me when I say that this is NOT an attempt to re-issue back catalog for the purpose of making more money. Not only was this version remastered with new 24-bit technology, but, it is also HDCD encoded! If you've never heard HDCD discs, you don't know what you're missing! The original cd of Lark's Tongues sounded like the music was recorded with pillows over the mics! This new remastering removes the pillows, and I'm hearing things I've never heard before (vocals in Lark's Tongues Part 1!). I rated this at 4 stars only because the original recording is not the best, but this is by far the best sounding Lark's Tongues yet!

5.0 out of 5 stars The epitome of Progressive Rock, December 27, 2004

This could possibly be the best progressive rock album ever. I'm sorry to offend anybody when I say this but stop using the term "Progressive Rock" when referring to the music of Pink Floyd, The Styxx, Kansas etc. They are classic rock bands. The true Prog is right on this page and you need to recognize that you are inferior to these gods among men and must submit to the music and worship it. This album will change your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply amazing, February 9, 2005
