5.0 out of 5 stars Clearing Up The Rubbish, January 4, 2006
I've been hearing and seeing people elsewhere bicker about this imported remaster, so I'm going to clear up the facts and variations to this album, as it is in-comparable in similarity to the second original release which some heard back in 1985.

This re-release is neither the re-master of the USA, German, or original UK versions that were issued under ZZT publisher. It's actually the remaster of the "actual" original album published under ZZT/Polystar, and Island Records in the first quarters of 1985 (which was issued all over Japan and Germany). As some are saying tracks like "Dr. Mabuse" and "Jewell" are sounding more off beat and with ill-reverb. The second issue album which became the commercial release held up to 10-11 tracks. With "Dr. Mabuse" separated from "Strength To Dream." In the original release they were together, and it was titled in composite "Das Testament Des Mabuse." So before buying, here is the actual track list of what your getting other than what's printed or clarified on the label.

1. 9:08 Dream Within A Dream (extended and remixed)
2. 5:13 The Murder Of Love
3. 6:23 Jewel (cut rough minus the first cut intro)
4. 4:43 Duel (cd remix)
5. 4:25 Frozen Faces
6. 3:50 p:Machinery (single mix, which was on all releases)
7. 3:27 Sorry For Laughing
8. 4:05 The Chase
9. 10:42 Das Testament Des Mabuse/Strength To Dream ["Dr. Mabuse"]

DVD (Region 2) 5.1: Music Videos and Discography Gallery)
1 Dr. Mabuse (Version 1)
2 Dr. Mabuse (Version 2)
3 Duel (Version 1)
4 Duel (Version 2)
5 p-machinery

Does it make it less worth the buck for importing? Heck NO! I think this remaster in fact, is a treasure trove! (As this version was released in limited round.) The sound is much better and crystal than it has ever been, and it comes with goodies if you have a region free DVD player on ya!

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad it's back, January 17, 2006
By QG "QG" (Lafayette, LA) - See all my reviews
I had the original import back in the '80s. I had lost the CD due to a break-up. I had longed for the haunting and mesmerising vocals from the girls. I was astonished when I found the ressurection of the album (no matter how it is mixed). Duel is probably my favorite song of all times and takes me back to a time when my cares were minimal and life was simple. This is a 5-star+. I urge anyone who is considering this CD to break down and get it. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST ALBUM OF THE 1980'S!! CLAUDIA BRUCKEN RULES!!, November 3, 2004
THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE MOST AWESOME ALBUM TO COME OUT OF EUROPE IN THE 1980'S. THIS IS INCREDIBLE AND SINCE IT'S FROM THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD AND THE ART OF NOISE IT IS INCREDIBLE. IT'S HARD TO TELL WHICH IS BETTER CLAUDIA BRUCKEN'S INCREDIBLE VOICE OR SUSANNAH FREYTAG'S SPEAKING VOICE BOTH OF WHICH ARE WORKED. P-MACHINARY AND DR MABUSE ARE BOTH STILL FABULOUS AFTER 20 YEARS. DR MABUSE IS 11:43 AND THE LAST THREE MINUTES ARE THREE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE SOUNDING MINUTES YOU WILL EVER HEAR. THERE'S EVAN A THUNDERSTORM WITH POURING RAIN AND THUNDER. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR - BUY THIS CD!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A MASTERPIECE OF 80'S AVANT-GARDE FM RADIO
The true highlight of this recording is the 2nd track, "The Murder Of Love" - this CD is worth the price just for that incredible composition all on its own. Read more
