The remastered sound this new edition is much louder and very clear, but also brings a little more luminance noise with. Compared with the remastered edition from 1997 me the different sound of the bass drum falls in this new edition on unpleasant. She has an ugly Echho / Hall effect - very well perceived in Arpegiator (2:07). In the 1997 version of the bass drum sounds clean, however.
Error can be heard further at known locations, a good example is Equinoxe 4 (3:43) - which one can therefore assume that the basic material was the same. ;)
Now I'm kind of two-split. A 5-star recommendation I do not like to express, because I do not like the light Hall in the bass. The Remasterd version in 1997 like there better. On the plus side however, can clear the detail points, because now a lot of subtleties to come out, which swallowed up the 1997 version.
Anyone who is not an audiophile so Korinthenkacker like me and do not pay attention to such trifles, or this CD do not yet own / know, here can safely access and will not be disappointed! It receives the most current best version of this (by JMJ subsequently revised in the studio) concert recording.
For fans, put on such things, the value is said to buy both versions possible. Each has their pages have.
Next, one should also note that a purchase of additional Jean Michel Jarre CDs: there are other new releases by Sony Music in this year (2014) appeared. The reviews on the Internet to fall from partly positive and partly also very restrained. The master tapes were not better in all these years. To this extent it is worthwhile to inquire before booking if you prefer not to attacks EPIC 1997 version with some CDs.
