Do you like how Mirage CD sounds?

[Villavic]

I have the (american) Mirage CD. I think I bought it circa 1991. But it sounds very low. The sharp sounds are not enough high, and the whole sound is far low from the average volume. I always have to set higher the stereo volume.

Its´ the same with Stand Back from the Enchanted CD. Just with this song. However Stand Back from Timespace (an european cd) sounds very good. It's easy to hear the difference.

I got one of those 80s collection from the "call now" ads. Stand Back is included, and again.. it sounds very low. Exactly like the Enchanted edition.

But it is with Mirage when I can hear the biggest difference. Gypsy, Little Lies, or other songs sound far better in the "Very best" cd or the box sets

Do you have the same perception?

I don't have Mirage, but I noticed similar things with others. It drives me nuts. Stand back (live) on chain box set is veeery low. The variations bug me. Of course it makes sense that the newest releases should sound better and better. I'm suprised the Enchanted edition is like that (I had enchanted but sold it, havent repurchased) but I remember when i wanted to hear Stand Back, I wouldn't use Enchanted, but Timespace. Anywhoo...

Yeah, makes sense. But it's funny I remember I listened Mirage vynil album in 1982 and the sound was awesome, really AWESOME!!!

I remember a friend got it, so I taped Gypsy, Can't go back and Little Lies from the album. Even that old cassette (a chrome TDK) of mine still sounds beautiful and far better than the cd I got years later (of course excluding the usual background tape sound)

Mirage should come to life when it's remasterd.

I remember how Hold me used to jump out on the record album. I hope they do that and Tango soon.

Along with BWelch....shall i continue?

Yay! If you want to check the "Producer" thread I was much more effervescent with my wishes. That's great you're having a party, and you have a lot of friends n' stuff. Yeah, Monday does suck. Mine is Wed. coming up. I'm just taking a long fourth weekend, and will have to celebrate then. Do you like being a Cancer? or you don't care?

The sound on the 'Mirage' CD is atrocious.

That album is in dire need of remastering... and SOON.

I was wondering about that...

As for Mirage, well I havent heard it on vinyl, so I dunno. I cant compare them. Perhaps I should get a vinyl copy off ebay...
