Edited 2 years agoIl disco presenta una dinamica piuttosto morbida e si rivela un piacere per le orecchie. Non manca di potenza, però tutto suona estremamente naturale.
Particolarmente presente l'esposizione della batteria, con rifrazioni su entrambi i canali.
Un'ottima incisione stereofonica, che dà il meglio di sé nella riproduzione colma di eco della traccia vocale.
Va aggiunto che sebbene venga presentata come una ristampa, in effetti trattasi della prima stampa italiana, immessa sul mercato a distanza di circa cinque anni dalla prima uscita.
Ma per il mercato italiano è una prima stampa.
Non facile da rintracciare, ma in caso vi fosse possibile, consigliabile l'acquisto.
The record has a rather mellow dynamics and is a pleasure to the ears. It doesn't lack power, yet everything sounds extremely natural. Particularly present is the exposure of the drums, with refractions on both channels. An excellent stereophonic recording, which gives its best in the full reproduction of vocal track echo's. It should be added that although it is presented as a reprint, in fact it is the first Italian print, placed on the market about five years after the first release. But for the Italian market it is a first printing. Not easy to find but if possible, It's recommend for sure!
