Music reviews of Brothers in Arms
Music Review: For "Vdeophiles" only !
Rating: 2 Stars
Being an audiophile for many years (but keeping it on an "old-school style", ie relying almost exclusively on stereo format), I decided to purchase Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" in SACD format, in order to compare to previous existing versions I previously own. You may notice from this point that the SACD version received a "5.1 remix". Having one of the first (if not THE first) release of that album both in LP and CD version, plus several "remixes" bought over the past 10 years, I have to say that... the first leads ! Of course, on the first releases, the general "volume level" was lower, compared to what is done today, but far more subtle, with correct spacing and "deepness". Even if the SACD version is amazing on 5.1 and if the instruments sounds almost perfect (could be compared to the LP version, from that point of view)... unfortunately, the so-called "remix" is far from the expected quality for that kind of product. Ie the general volume of almost everything had been "pushed up", good for the dynamics, etc. Several instruments had been "dispatched" between the loudspeakers. Great for the "space", but not in favour of the music itself. Therefore, if you have a 5.1 (or 7.1) system, this record may be an excellent choice. But if you usually listen to music through stereo system (ie standard audiophile configuration), the purchase is not worth it. You lose more than you gain in terms of musicality and high fidelity sound (some instruments almost disappear because of the remix... and everything else try to be "in the front"). What a pity !
