Inside the Music - New Wave (DVDA)
I've been pleasantly surprised by the variety of songs and the quality of the 5.1 mix of these Silverline DVDAs.
Having said that, I must be honest and say I'm a bit disappointed with 2 songs on New Wave. The main reason I bought it was for "Missing Persons - Destination Unknown". But... they screwed it up!!
@: The vocals especially are off. Dale's voice almost sounds like a track from a rehearsal or something. This is all the more surprising because "Missing Persons - Words" on Women on Top is nearly perfect!!! What happened!? (Maybe it will grow on me after a couple of listenings...I hope!) The same can be said about Billy Idol's vocals. His voice doesn't blend into the overall sound image on "Eyes Without a Face." Actually, the 5.1 mix for Billy's song is pretty good. Too bad!!
Anyway... On a positive note the overall balance is a lot more even on New Wave. Women on Top's volume setting is all over the place. This one has an even volume setting.
Also the 2 songs by Blondie were handled better than on Women on Top's Blondie - Heart of Glass
And finally, the best for last... The prize for best song goes to "General Public - Tenderness."
An absolute joy!!! I loved this group back in the 80s. This one song by itself is worth the price of admission.
I'll be dancing on the ceiling! :banana:
