Triumph "Greatest Hits: Remixed", with 5.1 DVD, mixed by Richard Chycki

[dr. simple]

I did a search and couldn't find anything on the forum about this. I just watched the Triumph documentary, "Rock and Roll Machine" (of course), and decided to take a look at their website. On the "The Band" tab, under "The 2000s", it says:

"Released on May 18, 2010, ‘Greatest Hits: Remixed‘ includes all of the Triumph classics, but with simply awe-inspiring sonics, with Rich Chycki (who has previously worked with Aerosmith and Rush), remixing all of the tracks. The deluxe, two-disc set, ‘Greatest Hits: Remixed‘, clearly is just what the fans were expecting. As well as the remixed CD, it also includes a DVD mixed in 5.1 audio, featuring fourteen promo and live videos in widescreen."

Have any of you given this DVD a listen?

Meh. The tracklist doesn't interest me much; I'm more into their earlier stuff. I hope the rest of you like it, though.

Missed this, too, but should have it by the end of the week. A lot of great music from that band.

Interesting description for the title if you scroll down:

Yeah... whatever... if it’s in surround I’ll buy it.

If it sounds cool, I'll have a reason to pester Richard. Haven't talked to him in a while.

Shouldn’t have been remastered but it’s a hits packed CD.

I absolutely love these guys. For a little while I kind of became MySpace buddies with Rick Emmett. This is a seriously awesome greatest hits collection but I’m not the biggest fan of the remastered songs. If I had to guess, they were done during the Loudness Wars so if you have a high end audio set up it’s going to sound kinda distorted at moderate volume and the extra percussion added to some of the tracks is a little too much. For me anyway. If you’re using a factory audio system or off the shelf home audio set up it shouldn’t be bad.

 

[marpow]

Well. It has Lay It On The Line and Magic Power so I'm in.
Probably equal to Cinderella, etc surround video hits of that era.

You're young, you're wild and you're free.....

I take it with a grain of salt when the reviewer doesn’t know the difference between remixed and remastered.
