The package is nice enough, the recording is only average. The problem came with mastering. A completely amateurish job of digital transfer renders this CD hard to listen to. Everything is bottom end muddy and buried. The performance is interesting. Powerful and energetic, with several songs being altered in tempo. If your stereo system has a good (at least 10 bands per channel) equalization (EQ) unit, and you are competent with its operation, this set can be made quite enjoyable. The lowest frequency band needs to be dropped nearly as far as it will allow. Increase the next band slightly, and each remaining band should be slightly boosted until the highest frequency is inversely proportional to the lowest frequency. In other words, the sliders will appear to run uphill from the lowest to the highest frequency bands. From there, each band can be adjusted to personal likes. It takes a little trial and error, but the overall result is well worth the effort. © 2001 CD Pinkerton - bobsboots.com |
