4.0 out of 5 stars Whole new experience, May 14, 2006

This review is from: Violator (Audio CD)

Although I like very much 'Violator', I didn't think all of the tracks are great, specially 'World In My Eyes' and 'Sweetest Perfection'.
But, in the other hand there are 'Personal Jesus', 'Enjoy The Silence' and 'Clean' wich are some of the most brilliant tracks DM produced.
The sound on this CD is stunning. I get chicken skin while listen to the tracks on SACD. This edition is definitely worth the price and time spent listen to it. Plus, you get a DVD with some 'new' tracks: 'Dangerous', 'Memphisto', 'Sibeling', 'Kaleid', 'Happiest Girl (Jack Mix)', 'Sea Of Sin (Tonal Mix)' AND Depeche Mode 89-91 (If you wanna use guitars, use guitars) + 30 minute short film: New interviews with band members past and present.

Enjoy.

I love popping this in and listening to the whole album. Just sounds so crisp and the surround is excellent. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars UK or USA versions?, July 18, 2006

By 

Duncan Dhu (México City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Violator (Audio CD)

I have bought both versions (UK and USA). Here is my review.

1) The Sound: Both versions sound equal. The remastering at least on the CD layer is not better than the singles 86>98. Period.
The new remasterings are in the middle between the "old" CD's and The Singles 86>98 CD, so don't expecte a "big" improvement unless of course you have a SACD player or a 5.1 system.

2) The SACD layer: The USA doesn't contain this layer. I think they should be presenting a CD/SACD + DVD (as originally designed) on this 'remaster' series, not just a plain CD with an additional DVD. However if you don't own a SACD player this layer is useless.

3) The video format: The USA remasters are NTSC and Region 1. The UK are PAL and Multiregion. However if you live in America and have a good CD Player Sony the USA remasters are more useful because sony doesn't reproduce PAL DVD's.

4) Both versions can be ripped to a mp3 format. No problem.

Which version you should buy?, the're almost equal, one has an advantage over the other and viceversa. At the end the decision is only yours.
