As said, this is a very important and forgotten score, just like the film itself, also unjustly neglected, when in fact its study, in my opinion, proves to be extremely necessary both from a narrative, purely cinematographic point of view, and from a...

A splendid soundtrack of the soul, a house full of closed rooms to visit, although it does not offer much variety from a compositional point of view, it is a real shame that this CD edition, which should have left behind the problems and limitations...

This edition is slightly above average soundwise, the soundstage is not terribly wide, but the definition of the instruments is particularly striking when compared to the digital US counterpart of the same period, also too bright for my taste. Surely...

What about this vinyl? It's always fascinating to see these 12'' inch 33rpm with one song per side, with very long and shiny dead waxes! :-D Seriously, although the dynamics are clearly compressed (just listen to the final part of the songs), the...

Aside from the indisputable and ancient splendor of Maestro Branduardi's music, there's nothing overly exciting about this vinyl soundwise. In terms of frequencies it's rather flat, if not slightly accentuated in the mid-highs and a little boxy,...

Quite possibly Sergio Caputo's best sounding vinyl, IMHO. Considering this is a live recording the record plays beautifully, except for very rare distortion at the end of both sides, the sound is absolutely brilliant, with an immersive soundstage and...

To be one of the many cheap reissues of that era, this edition offers a much quieter sound, thus avoiding probable distortions, but at the same time it keeps the general mood of the recordings, already "grungy" from the start in terms of sound. Above...

Nothing too exciting here. The sound is rather dull, the overall presentation is quite forward, but there is no clear distinction between frequencies, mid-highs are above everything and lows are not as present and punchy as one would like. Very easy...

They should give to Jürgen Knieper some credits for his work, he composed some fabulous soundtracks that have not yet been or have only been partially released, but many years ago! I look forward to the full score for Wim Wenders' "Der Stand Der...

Vinyl-wise, IMHO quality has never been their thing, many of their 12'' 33⅓ RPM records have a very compressed dynamics and an excessively high volume, resulting in sibilants and inner groove distortions; when they switched to digital masters during...

I bought the first 1985 Italian edition twice, the second time even for 8 euros and it was a punch-holed promotional copy, complete with OIS and lyrics sheet, now I've seen that there's only one copy available... for 200 euros! What the heck is going...

Quite a delightful record, able to drag the listener into the little-known musical world of the underestimated Milhaud, full of the aromas of ancient springs and good red wines. Highly recommended, if you want to establish a more intimate contact with...

Sounds good to me, except it had a lot of fine scratches and paper debris that cause clicks and pops on soft passages: it's really difficult to remove those with my Okki Nokki, maybe because it's also slightly warped. Too bad.

There is an error that keeps recurring in all the releases drafted from the first US press. "Mastered By - Ken Perry" does not refer to track B5, but to the entire album: probably the error was caused from the fact that the period is close to the...

The A Side of my first disc have a lot of surface noise between cuts. Do your copies have this defect?

This record is a practical joke. The music is remixed from the original multitracks, but they completely hold the wrong end of the stick here. For those unfamiliar with the Varèse edition, it could be a noteworthy job that makes a rarety available for...

I encountered the issue on both CDs and vinyls press, so it's definitely there. Try to listen to them with headphones, if you can. :-)

Just noticed something odd, in the remastered version of "Never For Ever". From minute 2:20 of "Violin", up to all "The Infant Kiss", the left channel undergoes significant drops in volume. I have listened to both CD and vinyl, and I heard this issue...

Excessive loud print with heavily hard-limited sound, including 4 bonus tracks. Not recommended.

A cheap reissue packaged in a very nice mini-LP replica cover.
According to the waveforms, this record has been heavy clipped and compressed, sounding very harsh and digital. |

A cheap reissue of this rare album, including a bonus track never seen before on CD.
According to the waveforms, this record has been clipped and compressed, with bass frequencies emphasized and owerblowed. Also, the silence between the tracks has... See full review |

Great reissue of this rare album, including several bonus tracks never seen before on CD.
There are no signs of clipping, compression or sound enhancement to report. There's a click sound at the very beginning of Track 3 and some minimal distortion... See full review |
