Tnx to original releaser!
The DVD soundtrack features a new 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo mixes by Eddie Kramer, Jimi's original engineer. The CD will feature the brand new, stereo mix heard here for the first time. Yes, it sounds better than ever. And there's no question that this is both a legendary performance and one of rock's most historic moments.
Additonal Reviews
| QUOTE: | The new CD is the same mix as on the purple box, but less loud fortunately so a bit better sounding. Compared to the '86 Alan Douglas CD it's indeed brighter, and fuller bass. Actually the biggest difference is (except fur the new intro and cut-off intro tuning-up) Wild Thing, with full drum and bass, but guitar volume lower in the mix (or just effect of the centered mix?). Maybe it's 'easier' to the ears, but I like the screaming guitar.
The whole CD is a remix! I just picked it up at lunch, and it sounds waaaay more natural than the original Jimi Plays Monterey release. There's no cheesy delay on the vocals, and you can hear Noel Redding's bass better as well as his vocals. (background on Foxy Lady). There was a sticker on the front that said it was remixed by Eddie Kramer, which scared me, but he did a good job! It just sounds so much more natural! |
