Customer Reviews:

Great material - Terrible remastering.......2007-02-11

This review regards only the "Future Games" CD from the two disc set. I had no interest in the "Spirit of 84" CD when making my purchase. Such a fine album deserved a better transfer to the digital format. This remaster is not good, great, or average. It is terrible. All the sonics are gone and they were an important part of the original recording. Some tracks don't sound like they are from the original master tapes used on the LP. I consider "Future Games" second only to "The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" in the Spirit catalog. That recording got a great MFSL treatment from Japan. "Future Games" got butchered by BGO from England. As an aside, all the discs I have on BGO are inferior to their original vinyl versions. I suppose they fill a niche, but they do it a disservice.

Remastered is not same as original.......2006-04-12

It's hard to find the Future Games album, so I bought this. I was thrilled to hear a nice clean copy of the album, although it sounded a bit different.

When I listened to the Spirit of 84, the remastering was significantly different than the original. Much more emphasis on voice and less on Randy's guitar work. Or emphasis on other things leaving what was more meaningful in a different ambiance. Actually, I was kind of disappointed, having grown up with Spirit in the 1960's. Oh well, you can never go back it seems.

Keep in mind that the early stuff will not sound like you remember it when you listen to this remastered recording.
