5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Remastering, July 13, 2009

The remastering job on this CD is fantastic. Having listened to The Golden Age of Wireless all these years, I am very familiar with the sonics of that album. I have a dedicated listening room with an all tube driven system. I compared the first 30 seconds of the intro to Airwaves between my old copy and this new release. Subtle sounds that were buried before are brought forward just enough to expand the soundstage and breathe new life into these classic gems. A must for any fan of great music and great sound. The alternate versions on this CD are simply a joy to listen to as well. Airhead in particular is a real standout. If you are a Dolby fan you must add this to your collection. I pre-ordered the re-releases of The Golden Age of Wireless and The Flat Earth. I can't wait to hear those other two releases in their entirety after getting a taste of this remaster.

I just love this music + DVD video set. I've acquired a lot of Thomas Dolby retro-spectacles, but this one far exceeds the others. The sound is amazing with re-mastered audio and the videos come through crystal clear on DVD. Far better video action that you can get by watching supposed re-mastered videos on YouTube!! Don't miss out on this combination music + DVD set!
