What? I haven't worn this album out long ago?
Well, I have...but I got my hands on a 2 disc remastered edition and I just had to hear it. First disc is Loveless remastered with the original analogue tapes and some digital audio tapes thrown in for good measure. Second disc is Loveless remastered with nothing but the pure true original analogue tapes.
What do I think so far? Well, if you don't have spectacular speakers/headphones don't expect a stunning revelation as far as the album goes. This is shoegaze, after all, and is by its very nature muddled and fuzzed out. But if you have the tools, it is worth a checking out. Each instrument is more distinct while still remaining true to the original release. A real plus for me is the vocals...while still atmospheric and still very much a part of the background, you can actually pick them out if you like. This was just my impression of the first disc...haven't heard the second yet.
I'm pleased.
