BCM Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I prefer selected ambient works 84 - 91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Jan Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Remasters are NEVER better, so the original version is the only one I have, don't even want to hear those remasters, although I understand there is almost no difference. I wonder if the remasters are OK with Richard himself, R&S did all the remastering and did a repress. Also he had said before about R&S that they're milking him because of the Classics compilation, even with his disapproval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascdi Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have some other artists' remasters that I like better. But from what I've heard of R&S "remastering" all their shit lately, it's not worth it. The OG edition is already very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40days Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 there's a significant difference in the 2006 remaster. i haven't heard the 2008 yet, though. I just compared Ptolemy and it seems that the tracks are indeed slightly different. That's great news for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosmachine Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 the biggest difference can probably be heard on xtal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 The first pressing seems to be mastered the loudest but mine is quite crackly, could be down to the condition of that specific copy of course. I have a repress (AMBLP 3902) that seems to sound slightly more "polite" but still unadultered. The 2006 remaster to me sounds like some elements of the tracks have been removed as being noise, where they could just as well be considered part of the music.
