And then DM. On Mount Olympus you shall come!
Ingenious songs (Thank MLGore), sharp show at the concerts (bowing D.Gahan), super electronic sounds (Thänx A. Wilder).
Already processed in the original stereo recordings with brilliant effects that thanks more or less random phase shifts further political power expanded into the space above the surround channels (Shake The Disease [Edit The Shake]) were those albums always been a treat for the ears special goodness (shaky after purchasing the same "Ohral" inveigled).
The technical revision of all tracks of their albums in 5.1 DTS / DD were there not only obvious, but always been my dream !!!
Unfortunately, the Surround Mixer are not so much based on the "spatialization" of genius, old stereo effects, but at the meantime established in surround recordings positioning of certain instruments in space (s. SAE Surround Workshop v. U. Pallemanns).
While some, a few right-left "effects" to be heard on the surround speakers (which has made at least some curiosity to hear more "new effects" tasty). Do not worry, from all 5 tubes is shot ...
But a blunt stereo rockers the hubcap beginning of "Behind the Wheel" (MftMasses) in 5.1 mix is already exceeded by the "Stereo Remix" of the old single-CD.
Even the jumble of sounds flying is not very well implemented at the end of "The Sweetest Perfection" (Voilator).
And at the end of "Personal Jesus" (Voilator; about 3:48 to 3:51) would have been more in it!
The interviews are short and sweet, but not all-inclusive ... And Cases: Extra dewegen I would not buy, but good ... Some stereo and / or surround Ex-B-sides are also added.
Conclusion:
Since her DM fans, by the way when driving / ironing listen - remains confidently in now certainly becoming very cheap stereo CDs.
If you want a surround DM fan scolds himself ... buy! The DTS-recording is much clearer and finer resolved as the stereo recording. Space is, well, okay. BUT: do not listen to too high expectations in the surround effects !!
so I would of 10 possible points 9,378. - So short of an orgasm rushed over.
One must on the next 3 albums (A Broken Frame / Some Great Reward / Songs of Faith and Devotion) be curious who come on September 29 '06 out and thus the series after the already implemented 5.1 mix albums (Playing the Angle / Violator / Music For The Masses / Speak and Spell) are complementary.
