Maues Hightech album, bad remastering

How much a panel may suffer from the wrong choice of producers are presented in the 1986 album of BAP, which was driven from producer Reinhold Mack for the most part against the wall. The song material is actually fine. With the title track, finally alone, Lisa and Colorful Debris album has some of my favorite songs of the band. The satire of the Club vacationers Time Is Cash Time Is Money I feel as successful, though Mack was responsible for the music here.
Overall, the album is but overproduced. There are far too many keyboards, sound effects, bombast and the like. Much sounds like Queen for whose albums The Game, Hot Space, The Works and partly for A Kind Of Magic producer Mack was also responsible. But BAP is / was not Queen.
Commonly the album is considered the worst of the musical band and led there also disagreements. The drummer recite even the band during the album production and was replaced by Studio Crack Curt Cress. This made things then no better and haute sound even more. A band Feeling comes not at the plate. Overall, the board has a very clinical and sterile sound. It is the high-tech Album of BAP. The band learned from this, however, producing the next album DA CAPO alone. Initially Niedecken but fled in his first solo album.

The Remaster Edition offers then some successful bonus tracks, but unfortunately lack the Maxi-Singles. The interviews with Frank Laufenberg were also discontinued. The booklet is limited as with all BAP remasters on photos and album credits. Texts do not exist unfortunately. The published separately in a book. From the cover and the packaging BAP CDs can not keep up with the vinyl editions.

The remastering is quite gone here in the pants. I bought the BAP remasters of the albums of 1981-1988. Ahl men is it the only bad and almost a case of warranty. Here almost all the instruments were so mixed loud and overdriven forward that the listening experience is a torment. The song finally alone, I can not listen to this CD. The guitars, keyboards and drums sound so loud krachig, choppy and overrides that listening is not fun. Despite Declippings and dynamic changes with the wave editor, it was not much better. I'm not a categorical Vinyl advocate, but here sounds the old record for comparison clearer, more dynamic and hotter. But with the other BAP plates I prefer the Remasters CDs.
Amazon provides as MP3 Car Rip when you buy the remastered CD, only the standard version of the non-remastered album. Since you can then compare what sounds better. At least sounds the old version is not overridden and also has momentum.

Conclusion:
For those who like a cold high-tech production of the mid-80s, this album could be interesting. My taste is not. The albums before and after of the "Major-time" are in my view successful. For the album I give 3 stars. But because of the partly but very getting used to remastering, the lack of texts and Maxi versions I have to deduct a star yet. Therefore, no more than 2 stars were in the assessment it.
