Page is always on the go since the death of John Bonham and the associated forced dissolution of the original line, in addition to well-known solo projects took place a few years ago a very effective media (one-off) Reunion. Still reluctant singer and bassist again with Page and Bonham's son working together to enter the stage, but perhaps this is just a matter of time.
To keep the followings for years at (purchase) Page capricious provides periodically repeatedly archive treasures ("How the West Was Won") and remasters.
What Page has brought to light at least convinced me 100%. It was not the famous attic finds in underground recording and playback quality products but intensive research with targeted use of modern but not exaggerated sound processing.
A review of Led Zeppelin "II" work I save at the site. Interested parties who have this repertoire gap in the music library and do not know the album, I refer to the numerous meetings and treatises.
What does 2014 album and what news to justify the price of just under 17 o'clock? Convinced the work also the fan who already "has the original version and the odd title of the aforementioned revised compilation (Best of ... / remasters etc.)?
* We get a double CD presents. The Urwerk in unchanged sequence of tracks.
* A small booklet with photographs of the musicians of that time
* The second CD picks Roh (from) mixtures, partially without singing as a backing track and an outtake titled la la "
To check new Remastersversionen for me I hear the playback like on different systems at this often repeatedly. This results were conclusive in my perception to the conclusion that the new wine in old bottles only coiffed in terms Loundness "or if the producer has really taken pains to edit the various audio tracks of instruments and song meaningful.
Led Zeppelin "II" know some pieces of which present in the composition high dynamic differences, also justified by the use of acoustic guitar and organ, which then alternated abruptly with distorted electric guitars and drums brute. Thus were "Thank you", the acoustic part of "Ramble On" and "What is and What Never Should be" firmly set on the first listen.
Also of interest are for me the supertitles "Whole Lotta Love", which in the previous version always represents a ride on the momentum of the blade and the unfortunately somewhat dull "Bring it on Home"
(Short) Summary unless it is possible to keep it "short": Jimmy Page did everything right. All instruments are clearer to identify speakers such as headphones than my previous versions. By an idea more highs in the mix new act the recordings fresh ". More dynamics, loudness or level increase, we hear only marginally. This conclusion was for all titles to bring on in on home" validity. Here (he) I hear no appreciable difference. To be fair, we should mention that Page can optimize the sound, but the (audio) can not outwit physics a less than optimal recording. However, this little side note does not spoil the overall impression, but should also emphasize that we should not praise the complete work to the skies at a meeting.
The second CD is a supplement and deepening for fans and followers of Led Zeppelin. Since before any really new titles were announced full-bodied should please any interested check for themselves whether this supplement makes sense for him. Personally, I consider the "exploration" of sections to the final completion of a song or album than dwell exciting because these steps reveal facts about admission procedures and craftsmanship of the musicians.
My previous CD Led Zeppelin "II" I will give my young neighbor, who just turned 20, so now he has the Urgene the Rocks at hand. Page has delighted me with this new package.
On the statements of lovers and followers of vinyl versions (including I also count) of this remixed works (I, II, III), I am delighted, because fortunately to the vinyl versions appear at the same time and to the same extent.
