New Customer Review

Most atmospheric and often overlooked album of the decade. Heavily inspired by the Beat Generation of Kerouac and Ginsberg, this CD delivers a remarkably warm yet punchy presentation. The intricate sonic textures of “Sartori in Tangier” and Fripp’s lush guitar synth work on “Waiting Man” are rendered with stunning transparency. It is a deep, hypnotic, and wonderfully moody facet of Crimson's geometric rock.

This album completes the 80s trilogy, demonstrating a striking balance between pop accessibility and edgy avant-garde. The album’s famous split between the accessible "Left Side" and experimental "Right Side" sounds phenomenal. The melodic title track and the driving groove of “Sleepless” pop with a tight, visceral pulse from Tony Levin's bass, while the industrial terror of “Industry” boasts an impressive, three-dimensional depth. This Japanese pressing maximizes the dynamic range, turning the final curtain of the quartet's landmark era into a true audiophile celebration.

Monumental album “THRAK” represents the ultimate realization of the "double trio" format. On this CD, the polyphonic chaos of a six-piece band turns into a flawless audiophile showcase. The sheer weight of crushing tracks like “Dinosaur” and the dystopian noise of the title cut are balanced by the shimmering, crystal-clear acoustic space of “Walking on Air”. Dense, aggressive, and masterfully defined, this CD is the definitive way to experience 90s progressive metal.

This is a really good album, worth collecting, the store's customer service is excellent, no damage, top-notch

This reissue of the seminal “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic” (1973) stands as a definitive way to experience this progressive rock milestone. The lineup shift welcoming John Wetton, Bill Bruford, and Jamie Muir injected aggressive heaviness and avant-garde jazz chaos into Crimson's universe. This specific pressing beautifully handles the album's extreme dynamic range—capturing everything from Muir's delicate, chiming percussion on the title track to Robert Fripp's bone-crushing, proto-metal guitar riffs. With its superb Japanese manufacturing quality and meticulous artwork, it is an essential pick for audiophiles.

The Japanese reissue of “Starless and Bible Black” (1974) is a stellar continuation of the trilogy. This record uniquely blurs the lines between studio production and raw live improvisations captured on European stages. The jagged heavy riffs of “The Great Deceiver” hit with immense punch, while the ambient title track unfolds in all its dark, melancholic beauty. The Japanese mastering perfectly separates John Wetton's driving bass lines and David Cross's fierce violin textures, delivering a wide and hauntingly realistic soundstage that is essential for any audiophile.

Reissue of the monumental album “Red” (1974) delivers a spectacular final curtain for both the trilogy and the band's 1970s era. Stripped down to a trio of Fripp, Wetton, and Bruford, Crimson crafted a proto-metal masterpiece. This SHM-CD presentation beautifully handles the aggressive, abrasive weight of the title track and the haunting depth of “One More Red Nightmare”. The absolute crown jewel is “Starless,” where melancholic mellotron and Ian McDonald’s guest saxophone give way to a suffocating, building crescendo. The Japanese pressing provides outstanding audio definition, perfectly capturing the crushing sonic assault of a rhythm section that Fripp famously described as "a flying brick wall".

This record stands as a blistering document of the final days of the legendary Wetton-Bruford lineup. On this CD pressing, the historically raw and dense mix is granted extraordinary audiophile breathing room. Exploding tracks like “Asbury Park” and the ferocious “21st Century Schizoid Man” punch through with stunning stereo separation. John Wetton’s growling, overdriven bass lines and David Cross’s searing violin work are perfectly isolated, cleaning up the old sonic clutter. It is the ultimate presentation of one of progressive rock's most aggressive live documents.

the album was great, love the anniversary versions of the band's most popular songs. also tuned in to the livestream of the 10th anniversary album live, great stuff. excited for whats to come in the future. this is Roselia's year!

This edition is so pretty, I was kinda bummed that there were only three episodes, but I think the quality makes the difference.

This reissue triumphantly clears the fog from the band's sophomore album. The SHM-CD tech breathes fresh air into the 1970 tapes: the soaring mellotrons on the title track gain immense depth, while the acoustic simplicity of “Peace” sounds intimate and crisp. The dramatic shifts between the quirky “Cat Food” and the fierce “Pictures of a City” benefit from expanded dynamic range.

Crimson's most baroque and complex jazz-rock effort receives a massive audiophile upgrade. The mastering masterfully separates the chaotic polyphony of woodwinds, jagged keyboard motifs, and Jon Anderson’s guest vocals on “Prince Rupert Awakes.” It completely untangles the historically dense and challenging mix.

This CD emphasizes the melancholic, chamber-like, and pastoral beauty of “Islands”. The sonic transparency is staggering, holding focus from the quiet double-bass intro on “Formentera Lady” to the weeping strings of the title cut. Exceptional channel separation highlights every subtle oboe and percussion nuance, shaping a deeply meditative listening experience.

Documenting the American tour of the short-lived Boz Burrell, Mel Collins, and Ian Wallace lineup, this release was historically notorious for its lo-fi, "garage-band" sound quality. However, the Japanese mastering works wonders here, shaping that raw, distorted cassette source into a cohesive, ferocious wall of sound. The dirty, blues-rock engine of “21st Century Schizoid Man” and the manic funk jamming on “Groon” sound incredibly visceral on this disc, perfectly capturing the primal chaos of a band breaking apart at the seams.

WHAT MAKES EVERY NONDISCRIPT CONDUCTORs THINK THEY CAN CONDUCT MAHLER ? I HAVE EVERY GOOD MAHLER RECORDING THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM Andris Nelson did a Shostakovitch cycle on DG and I was silly enough loving Shostakovich to buy it. I listened and was slightly disappointed.............then I heard Kodrashin's complete cycle and suddenly discover just how Shostakovitch should sound.............so I gave away Mr Nelsons's cycle away to a friend as it simply irritated me to hear it after I discovered how Shostakovitch should be played I took only minutes upon hearing Mr Nelsons underwhelming attempt at Maher to realise that this is as great a failure as his Shostakovitch cycle. Save you money and listen to Solti Bernstein or Giellin cycles and be rewarded !

The Son of the Sun album has a unique style, a dynamic and energetic melody, and a positive and sunny lyrics. The sound quality is clear and carefully produced, and each song can bring different listening experience, which is worth collecting by music lovers.

The overall quality of the Mojiezuo album is excellent. The music style is a combination of pop and classical elements, and Jay Chou's unique singing voice is full of charm. The album cover is beautifully designed and the lyrics are full of poetry, which is a classic worth collecting.

This is real Kiss. Recorded when they were unbeatable and before R&R excess habits crept in. High energy rock and roll as it should be. An essential purchase.

Macross: Do You Remember Love? is a true classic of anime, and this new 4K remaster gives the film the treatment it deserves. The image looks beautiful, with a level of detail, color, and clarity that brings the incredible hand-drawn animation back to life while still preserving the original film look. The space battles, mecha, and concert sequences are especially impressive in 4K. It is also great to have both the original 1984 theatrical version and the 2016 complete version included in the release. The soundtrack remains one of the movie’s greatest strengths, perfectly complementing its spectacular visuals and emotional moments. After more than 40 years, Do You Remember Love? still feels remarkably beautiful and ambitious. This 4K edition is a fantastic way to rediscover a legendary anime film and an essential release for any Macross fan or collector of classic animation.

Gundam: The Origin V is one of the most intense and dramatic parts of the series. The story continues to delve deeper into the characters and, especially, into Char’s transformation into the character we all know. The animation is spectacular, the battles have real weight, and the atmosphere perfectly captures the darker and more political side of the Gundam universe. The pacing may feel a little slow at times, but the character development and the growing tension make it completely worthwhile. An essential entry for Gundam fans and an excellent setup for what is yet to come.
