Product Description
24 karat gold pressing !New Numbered Limited Edition Mini-LP-Style Packaging! Peaked at #10 on the Billboard 200 chart. Worldwide sales of 3 million copies to date. Contains the hit singles 'MidLife Crisis', 'A Small Victory' and 'Everything's Ruined'. Co-produced, engineered and mixed by Matt Wallace (Blues Traveler, Maroon 5). Mastered from the original «, 2-track, 30 i.p.s. master mixes. MFSL engineers were quite impressed with the dynamic range and natural tonality present on the master tapes. When compared to previous versions, the new MFSL GAIN 2 mastering is much more dynamic, and reveals detail and subtleties not heard on other versions. This new MFSL Gold CD allows the full dynamic range to shine through, giving fans the chance to hear this album the way it was heard at Scream Studios, where mixing was expertly performed by Matt Wallace and David Bryson.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums ever made even better, April 23, 2009

By	SushiWorship (Boise, ID United States) - See all my reviews

I am a music fanatic. I enjoy music of all genres. I have a huge cd library. Out of all the music I listen to, this is an album I never tire of, and one I can honestly say is one of my favorite albums BY ANYONE, EVER. It was my introduction to the great talent of Mike Patton, whose many other works and collaborations are amazing as well, but back to Angel Dust. Angel Dust takes you on a dark, atmospheric journey, and one you will want to experience again and again. Each song is an amalgam of sounds and styles, making it indescribable. It is unlike anything Faith No More (or anyone else for that matter) have done before, or since. I realize I have not really said anything that would really tell someone what this album sounds like, but that's what this album does to you. It leaves you at a loss for words over how great it is. You really must hear it for yourself to understand. I could name a bunch of styles of music that it includes, but none would truly descibe or do it justice. If you like Faith No More, Mike Patton, many genres of music, interesting and unique music, or just music in general, buy this album! As for the remastering on this particular version, I think it is great. It is actually a bit quieter than the original, but this is because it is more dynamic and less compressed (if you don't know about compression, it is a technique used that makes the music louder, but also sacrifices more of the dynamic range--contrast between loud and soft parts of the music--the more compressed it is). This allows the listener to hear the album with greater clarity and detail than ever before and to notice elements that may have been missed. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab makes remasters the way remasters should be made, rather than the common trend of putting out remasters that are simply louder than their older counterparts, but actually less dynamic. It is also on a 24 karat gold compact disc. While it is debatable whether or not that feature accounts for any improvement in sound quality, it does ensure a longer lasting disc that is resistant to oxidation. This version is also of a very limited pressing,as are all MOFI releases and will become a valuable collectible, worth more than the price you paid for it. If you already own and love Angel Dust, I would definitely recommend purchasing this remaster. If you have never heard it, you may want to purchase the regular version, as it is available for only $6.99. However, you will most likely love the album so much that you will want to get this version as well. It's that good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Angel Dust - MFSL remastered, March 9, 2009

By	Tomescu Stefan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just bought this MFSL-remastered edition of Angel Dust, Gold CD, ultradisc II. Compared to the "normal" release it seems that dynamics are worse, it sounds very compressed. I really don't understand what are they trying to do with that ... I don't like the remaster. I'll stick with the old-fashioned edition, but now i have an expensive memorabilia to look at it :(

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised, April 28, 2009

By	Michael R. Karpovich "kemp4rules" (MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Angel Dust (Audio CD)

First off this is a great cd, which I'm very happy to finally have in my musical library. The problem I have with this purchase is that it was advertised as being remastered and its not. Its just the import from 1993 and the only difference is it includes Faith No More's great cover of Easy(Like Sunday Morning). Also the CD I got skips and that was on my 1st listen!!!! I would have sent it back but I figured it would be more hassle than it was worth. So to summarize: Great CD, poor description of content!
