Reviews
Very nice sound with crisp highs and thrumming bass. My only complaint is that the bass is maybe a bit too much at times. Thrilled to have added this to my collection.- The remaster allows Trevor Horn's bombastic sound and production to truly unfold.

A strong, atmospheric album with a lot of space and a typical sound of the late 80s.
The CD version seems balanced, without excessive compression, with a good dynamic reserve.
The bass is solid, slightly softer, the mids are clear and the vocals are legible even in denser arrangements.
The treble is not aggressive, it maintains a cultivated character and does not tire.
Overall, a very musical and mature sound with good depth of the scene.
Dynamic Range: DR 12
Peak level: approx. -0.3 to -0.8 dB- Edited 2 months agoNice pressing and production quality with pretty good separation and soundstage. Obtained this record as an 'add on' item in discogs order, having streamed and enjoyed. This release is rated 4* average by nearly 2500 people, and I believe with good reason. Side 1 is a nice blend of tracks, multi-textural, sometimes epic and often atmospheric or cinematic. Some nice guitar solos, plus bombastic percussion. This is Your Land contains some tasty bass, probably fretless, with a nod to Jaco Pastorius. Side 2 continues with the same ambience - this is 5* for me until track B4, on the basis that Biko is disregarded as being an adequate enough cover.
- bob ludwig mastering sounds amazing 5 stars for sound for me on this 1

My CD of this exact release has several pin holes that are visibile when holding the CD up against a light source and I think that one of them is causing the CD hanging at Track 5, 2:39 / "Take A Step Back". I tested this with several devices (Pioneer PD-5500, Kenwood DP-5030, Technics 1994 CD-Player) and they all showed the same issue when playing this part of this CD.
EAC however was able to rip the CD just fine on my Windows 10 machine with a HP DVD-RAM drive.- Edited one year agoPicked this up cheaply 2nd hand, can understand why, has minimal dynamics. Sounds recessed, and zero dynamics.
- The pressing is great but the album is quite boring, except for Belfast child.
- Amazing soundquality on this Press. Low noice, open and dynamic, wonderful clarity.
