HiRez Poll Oldfield, Mike - TUBULAR BELLS 2003 [DVD-A]

[hafquark]

I gave this a 9 vote some time ago without a written review. Here's my quick take: I like the 2003 edition a lot for its adventurous mix and huge sonic improvement over the original. It won't appeal to everyone because it is a really aggressive mix that some will find gimmicky, but it works for me. John Cleese is a good substitute for Vivian Stanshall, although I miss Stanshall's narration (especially his hilarious, improvised drunken ramble at the end of the album.)

It's just an overall fun listening experience and about the most active surround mix I've ever heard.

Voted 9, oh so fine.
This is my favorite optical version of TB in surround. Good sound. Good mix. Lossless. And I don't mind the re-recording, though others might.

Came to check whether I'd voted, and whether I voted higher than for the 50th Anniversary blu-ray.

Voted 9 here/voted 8 there.

Goooooo, past me!!!

A very aggressive mix with kick ass sonics. A bit gimmicky in places, but well done. 10.
