Steel Wheels -Remast-

QUEL ALBUM EXPLOSIF ! ON EST SURVOLTE PAR DES MORCEAUX INCENDIAIRES TOUT LE LONG DE CET ALBUM ! C'EST UNE VRAIE REUSSITE ! PAS ETONNANT DE LA PART D'UN GROUPE PAREIL ! LES ROLLING STONES !!!!!!!!!! ILS ONT BIEN CHOISI LEUR NOM ET ILS LE PROUVENT CONSTAMMENT A TRAVERS LEUR MUSIQUE , N'EN DEPLAISE A CERTAINS GRINCHEUX ! EVIDEMMENT, QUAND ON EST A UN CERTAIN NIVEAU DE COMPREHENSION PLUTOT BAS RIEN NE TROUVE GRACE DANS LE CERVEAU DE CES INDIVIDUS

Underrated music. Highly recommended.

What can be said but another great Rolling stones album

Plongez dans l univers Stones

Simply one of the best remasters I’ve heard. Taut, crisp yet warm and detailed. Buy it if it’s not in your collection. A must have!I have not set out to write reviews of the music content as “beauty is in the ears of the listener”. These reviews are about the quality (or not) of the recorded sound. To read about how the reviews are done please see my profile. • Clarity – superb, stunning, exceptional • Channel separation - superb • Channel balance – conventional left, right and centre but what balance. Can place every instrument and vocal individually and clearly. Overall exceptional • Sound Stage – superb, like having your own private performance. Wide, detailed and magical • Distortion – non audible • Compression – non audible • Atmosphere – so good that if you close your eyes you can see Jagger prancing around the stage sneering and wiggling his hips • Bass – low frequencies – staggering, the drums sound exceptional like real drums they thump, boom and rattle. The bass guitar throbs and thrums in the background, every note is audible • Treble – high frequencies – excellent the guitars soar and attack yet are capable of being mellow and melodic • Vocals – excellent, crisp, clear, well defined. You can hear and feel Jagger’s vocal sneerAs a general rule of thumb recordings from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s are nearly always better on the original vinyl. Remasters often fail to please as it’s just not possible to make a silk purse from a sows ear, i.e. the original recording lacks the necessary detail to be processed digitally and show an audible improvement. Indeed such processing can make the sound worse.Modern recordings which have been processed digitally from start to finish can be as good as vinyl. CD’s are often unfairly criticised for being poor quality. This is not the case, it is the original recording or the process which is to blame. Modern “remasters” can both enhance and degrade a recording. The statement GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out) is the limiting factor. Ignore this at your cost.
