If you like the album in stereo, you will be completely blown away by the multichannel mix. I have all of Goldfrapp's albums but for me, Tales Of Us is their masterpiece. I also have the multichannel SACD of Supernature but that is one of their dance/electronica albums and is completely different. The 5.1 mastering on Tales Of Us is done by Will Gregory from the duo - it's quite rare that a musician from a band is directly involved with the multichannel mix. Goldfrapp wanted to make a completely different album from what they had previously done. They wanted to reference a lush, sweeping, cinematic sound world, which is why they went for a 30 piece orchestra for the recording.Wow, with an endorsement like that I have to find a copy.
I agree @efb18Björk - Volta (2007)
The packaging is annoying, though. I guess it's great for people who enjoy being annoyed by packaging.
I know NOTHING about this. I've never heard of Goldfrapp. But going to that link and listening ever so briefly, my first impression was that this is what Billy Eilish will sound like when she matures. Pretty wonderful, actually.Out of the 250 multichannel discs I own, I count this as the very best. The songs Drew and Stranger in multichannel take music to a level that I previously only have experienced while watching a movie.
I've never taken the time to even comprehend what Bjork's music means. All I know is, when I try to listen, within 5 minutes, I'm shutting it down. I know, I know. Whatever...hahaha
