Yes, I'm late to this one as I am many of these. I loved Anthony Phillips in and out of Genesis, and I was really enjoying 1984 on vinyl recently. A totally uncharacteristic dark instrumental synth pop sound on this album. Apparently Ant did play a guitar on this album, but I don't remember hearing one. I wasn't digging the mastering of both my US and UK copies, so I bought an early UK CD and eek, that one was even brighter. So what better then that a new surround mix, which would surely tame those nasty highs? I had better get this one too.
Well, this surround presentation suited the music very well I thought, and overall the mix was excellent. However, this disc suffers from a "smiley-faced" EQ where you get some deep lows and plenty of highs, but without a fat midrange to fill it all in. That made it pretty difficult to turn up loud as this music would generally prompt it to. I gave it an 8, but I would have given it a 9 if the tone was evened out better.
