thanks to the original uploader!
Review (AMG)Foxtrot is where Genesis began to pull all of its varied inspirations into a cohesive sound -- which doesn't necessarily mean that the album is streamlined, for this is a group that always was grandiose even when they were cohesive, or even when they rocked, which they truly do for the first time here. Indeed, the startling thing about the opening "Watcher of the Skies" is that it's the first time that Genesis attacked like a rock band, playing with a visceral power. There's might and majesty here, and it, along with "Get 'Em Out by Friday," is the truest sign that Genesis has grown muscle without abandoning the whimsy. Certainly, they've rarely sounded as fantastical or odd as they do on the epic 22-minute closer "Supper's Ready," a nearly side-long suite that remains one of the group's signature moments. It ebbs, flows, teases and taunts, see-sawing between coiled instrumental attacks and delicate pastoral fairy tales. If Peter Gabriel remained a rather inscrutable lyricist, his gift for imagery is abundantly, as there are passages throughout the album that are hauntingly evocative in their precious prose. But what impresses most about Foxtrot is how that precociousness is delivered with pure musical force. This is the rare art-rock album that excels at both the art and the rock, and it's a pinnacle of the genre (and decade) because of it.

И обложки страшные, и диски простые "до дури".
Не умели раньше релизить! :laugh:

Зато звук без всяких искажений, eq, и компрессии! :actu:
Было бы неплохо, если бы кто-нить сравнил с изданием от Atlantic :)

Если честно, то на мой взгляд Атлантик звучит более открыто и звонко, хотя у него и шума побольше немного.
У этого издания звучание несколько глухое и мягкое. Это заметно во всех треках.
Так что я предпочту Атлантик.

yes, but Atlantic have some compression like the DE...
Atlantic sounds a lot better than the no-noised DE...
btw VC is the pure dry sound thing, flat transfer i think.
Maybe with not so good mastering or master tapes... but, btw, there aren't more choices around..., waiting for the incoming '1st period' SACDs... :dunno:

Господа, спасибо за сравнения двух дисков - VC и Atlantic! :punk:
Я лично.. мне стыдно.. но так и не нашел времени для "слуховых экспериментов". Увы..
Ваши мнения, к тому же, очень созвучны впечатлениям на форуме Стива (если я правильно понял и мне не изменяет память), поэтому я поступлю.. как истинный "аудиофил"! ;) :
"Кладу" в коллекцию.. VC!
NOT-"звонко", "глухое и мягкое", "pure dry sound", "flat transfer".. Чего же боле? Жаль вот, что у него - шума поменьше, но надеюсь, это только потому, что он "глухой"! :)
