The production of early Cradle of Filth material has always been flawed in one manner or another until Midian arrived, so I took listening to the original Dusk and Her Embrace with a grain of salt and zero expectations. The commercial release of Dusk in 1996 has an atmospheric sound all its own and while the drums and bass don't get a lot of love its still the pinnacle Cradle album with the songwriting and dual guitar melodies at the their creative and conceptual apex.

The Original Sin's mix is much more spacious and sounds live-in-the-studio to me. There is significantly more presence from the bass guitar and drums and as noted in a lot of other reviews, Dani's vocal performance is more guttural (actually quite similar to his performance on Hammer of the Witches - the guy still delivers the goods). Some of the keyboard sounds on Original Sin are a bit cheap and toyish sounding at times but the string melodies are fantastic. The guitars sound more coarse and dry on this version again sounding like they were fed straight into the mixer from a live performance.

Missing entirely is that thick blanket of atmosphere found in the Music for Nations version. The biggest perks of this 1995 recording of Dusk is hearing the bass guitar up front in the mix. That and an amazing vocal performance from Dani, which I think fits the music a tad better than his shrieking on the 1996 release.

The problem with the Original Sin (and something that was completely unavoidable given the circumstance) is that the remastering has crushed the remaining dynamics and when the music is at its busiest it sounds like mud. It doesn't have the clarity and crispness of the Music for Nations version.

Well worth it to hear this all time classic remixed!! You can hear every guitar line very clearly...and you don't have to crank up the volume. I would recommend this to any COF fan in a heartbeat. This is one YOU must have in your collection!!

Really cool to listen to this rerelease. For a guy that buys everything filthy he can get his hands on, this purchase did not disappoint. There are even some tracks on this album that I prefer over the green period. Grant it there are mixing and balancing issues, and plenty of them, it's still cool to here my favorites done differently. Plus, dani sounds sick and so does Sarah!

Are you one of the millions who has wondered how Dusk would have sounded if it were played back in 1994? Well, wonder no more! very raw. I'd say for the die-hard fans only. It does serve as a reminder as how good the "original" dusk is. I undusted my coffin-shaped version bought way back in 1997 and enjoyed listening again to this masterpiece, which I still am as I write this review. As for the "newer" version, it's just OK, very raw and not very well mixed and I have found the female voices too intrusive (sorry Sarah and Danielle, you're still great anyway). The music box intro in Beauty Slept in Sodom is totally wicked, way better than in the "original" album.Other than that, if you're one of the millions trying to decide which version to buy, go for the "original" one, with the green cover. You will no be disappointed.

I love Cradle of Filth and I would like to give this album a higher rating, unfortunately like I'm sure many people I listened to the 1996 version beforehand, and though this has certain songs that are in my opinion better than the 1996 release it is not enough to make me forget about the classic. Stand out track is Beauty Slept in Sodom.

Good album just the quality of the songs is pretty low. I have to put up a bunch to hear it clearly.
