Review (AMG)
After Peter Gabriel departed for a solo career, Genesis embarked on a long journey to find a replacement, only to wind back around to their drummer, Phil Collins, as a replacement. With Collins as their new frontman, the band decided not to pursue the stylish, jagged postmodernism of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway -- a move that Gabriel would do in his solo career -- and instead returned to the English eccentricity of Selling England by the Pound for its next effort, A Trick of the Tail. In almost every respect, this feels like a truer sequel to Selling England by the Pound than Lamb; after all, that double album was obsessed with modernity and nightmare, whereas this album returns the group to the fanciful fairy tale nature of its earlier records. Also, Genesis were moving away from the barbed pop of the first LP and returning to elastic numbers that showcased their instrumental prowess, and they sounded more forceful and unified as a band than they had since Foxtrot. Not that this album is quite as memorable as Foxtrot or Selling England, largely because its songs aren't as immediate or memorable: apart from "Dance on a Volcano," this is about the sound of the band playing, not individual songs, and it succeeds on that level quite wildly -- to the extent that it proved to longtime fans that Genesis could possibly thrive without its former leader in tow.

| The Atco is derived from the V/C Nimbus, but is not a simple level shift, as Raf's notes below show. Raf wrote: "The V/C and Atco CDs of Trick are derived from the same digital source. Barring the issues described below, the two cancel out completely when the levels are matched. Are they the same mastering, technically speaking? You tell me! There's been a bit of monkeying done here. First up, the volume levels: Tracks 1 and 3 = the Atco is 0.8 dB louder compared to the V/C Track 2 = the Atco is 1.8 dB louder Tracks 4, 5, 6 and 7 = the Atco is 0.4 dB louder Track 8 = the Atco is 1.4 dB quieter Tracks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the Atco have clipped peaks. I was going to do a detailed listing, but there are too many. I counted three clipped peaks on Dance on a Volcano and eleven on Squonk before I gave up. To complicate matters more, track 8 is clipped on the V/C. |
Я дико извиняюсь перед поклонниками Genesis-a, но может быть мне кто-нибудь объяснит: разве включенный Overread на PLEXTOR-ах (на любом приводе поддерживающем эту функцию) не является 100% гарантией неправильного рипа, в котором можно забыть про оффсеты, CRC, AccurateRip и даже размер WAV-файла будет отличаться от рипа правильного?
Можно поподробнее? Разве это не должно вести, наоборот, к повышению точности рипа?
Я еще раз извиняюсь, возможно мой вопрос следствие неверного понимания (толкования) термина Overread. К сожалению, у меня нет возможности сделать и сравнить два рипа с одного диска на приводе поддерживающем Overread (c ним и без него) - мой NEC эту функцию не поддерживает, увы. А представление (возможно, не верное) основано на сравнении чужих рипов, сделанных с Overread-ом и без, и ощутимо отличающихся друг от друга размером WAV-a, количеством тишины в начале и конце...

по моему пофиг, если только в начале или в конце диска ошибки.

Послушал, сравнил. На слух вроде звучит поинтересней чем Virgin/Charisma EMI Swindon CDSCD 4001. У кого какие мнения?
