The only problem I had with one of the albums was that, on Here Come The Warm Jets, "Blank Frank" seemed like the reel-to-reel tapes were getting stuck at a couple of points during the mastering... I kinda liked the weird warps in that track because of it, actually.

I get so tired of the "New! Improved! Remastered! Again!" con game.
― kjoerup, Thursday, 27 May 2004 23:36 (fourteen years ago) Permalink
but often yeah.... it's less to do with the quality of the new masters as the quality of the old ones. often it was just fine and there isn't a burning need for an upgrade.
like those richard/linda thompson things. $20 each for remasters with a few boring live bonus tracks? the hannibal cds sound fine, thank you.

Apparently the reissue of Another Green World is messed up. The "Rosalie" line is mysteriously edited out of "Everything Merges With The Night" acc. to some who bought the reissue. I'm not sure this is the case with ALL of them... and I sadly missed this the first time around to listening to the reissues.. and I don't have time to check for myself.
So, um, those of you who HAVE the reissue of AGW, check it and note it, if that's the case. Surely, they are working on rectifying this, one would hope.

petridish reviewing the four eno reissues:"Throughout pop history bands and artists have insisted on making arty records with no tunes, as opposed to what people want to hear... (introduction drones on for another 500 words, namechecking Kid A, Faust Tapes and Metal Machine Music) ...and there are pop stars who can't play any instruments (crawls on for another 500 words, namechecking Sid Vicious, Bez and Lena Zavaroni before saying that Eno's solo albums aren't worth bothering with because all classical music sounds the same)"

Unbelievable comments from this Petridis... it's not music writing, I'm afraid, of any kind I would acknowledge.
One would have thought that these Eno albums would have been good enough on t' tune front - it's great, displaced pop music - for such Luddites, yet clearly he's not listened to them at all. Or is playing up to some sort of image; sounds a rehash of his PJ Harvey 'thoughts'.

Sounds a real waste if they've messed up the remaster of AGW, as it's just about my favourite 'pop-period Eno', mood-wise at least.

Some 'ANG' tracks appear in slightly different versions. Some of the tracks are barely distinguishable 'alternate' mixes of pieces from 'Music For Films' volume I, the last few tracks are rough versions of the drones from 'Apollo'. Incredibly annoying liner notes, 43 minutes long.

$15 new version or $10 used old version?
Or are there some albums that are worth getting the reissues of, and some that are not? Hopefully someone with a keen ear can lend some advice.

It happens again, later on but on the sound of the tom drum.
So, yeah, Nick and I are talking about the same thing. It's not a full tempo slowdown, it's a hiccup, not unlike accidentally pressing down on a spinning record for a split second, or -- more likely in this case -- a reel-to-reel tape where some splicing tape got caught on something while whirling around.

These jewel case Eno CDs I imagine are the same remasters? Anyone found them or or the digipaks going cheap anywhere>
― PaulTMA, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 10:13 (eight years ago) Permalink
Yup, the jewel case CD's are the same. I managed to grab a couple of them for £7 in Fopp recently. Amazon had the whole bunch for around the same price the last time I checked.

Go for the jexel cases if you can, the plastic sleeve surround on the digipaks is so tight it's practically impossible to extract thge digipaks without fucking them up slightly.

They fixed the AGW mistake after the first pressing of the remaster.
I haven't heard the half-speed reissues, but reports vary pretty widely on the Hoffman forums: a lot of people like them, but some have noted dropouts and other defects that didn't used to be there, while faulty copies aren't uncommon (as with seemingly most vinyl releases in recent years).
― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Wednesday, 13 June 2018 14:22 (eight months ago) Permalink
Has this half speed stuff not been debunked?
― Duke, Thursday, 14 June 2018 20:59 (eight months ago) Permalink
this is one of my favorite steve hoffman forum posts ever: "Half-speed mastering is a two-edged sword. One one edge, for a response of 20-20,000, the cutterhead only has to go up to 10,000, so if there are any nonlinearities in the upper range, they will be greatly reduced. Plus, if you were going to, say, 30,000 Hz (and you can, with both analog masters and vinyl) you'll have that much more "breathing room" up there.
On the other edge of the sword, and this is a pretty sharp edge, you have to apply only half the RIAA curve when cutting the lacquer, and that's not always easy to do. Plus, now your response for 20-20K has to go down to 10 Hz. And to make things even more fun, the response of playback heads is slightly different at 15 IPS than at 30 IPS. That's why, generally, you'll find 15 IPS machines set to NAB, and 30 IPS machines running IEC.
Half-speed, when done well, is very good. It's just not easy, and my kudos to those that can pull it off."
what????
― akm, Thursday, 14 June 2018 21:31 (eight months ago) Permalink
wow, good find, that's fascinating to me (I also had no idea what NAB/IEC meant, looked it up and they are EQ standards)
I already have these albums on OG vinyl and the remastered CDs, so I have no stake in this but I'd be wary if I was in the market
