CD Reviews
Horrible Sound, don't waste your money
Pablo Bernet Paez | Chile, South America | 09/03/2007

"This is a good work by the band, but the quality sounds it's horrible, don't buy this. CherryRed have the obligation to replace the item.
It's a real shame."
It's Not Remastered

"Don't let the "Original Recordings Remastered" fool you. They didn't do it at all. I totally love this album and was so bummed to receive this. I wrote to the label and they didn't have any good reason why they used such a bad master. They didn't really seem to care which might explain why this was released. Never buying anything from them again. My vinyl that I put on cd sounds 10 times better. In this time and age, we shouldn't even have to complain about sound quality anymore. Record companies shouldn't be releasing anything that sounds this awful. I'm still sore about this purchase. IT IS THE WORSE SOUNDING CD THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED. I gave this two stars because it deserves an extra star for being such a great album."
Great Album, Horrible Audio On This Release

"Purchased this album on vinyl in 1986. Been waiting for 20 years to get it on CD. This is a great album. Received this CD yesterday. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the audio on this CD is horrible. It sounds worse than a worn out cassette. Don't buy this CD. Play it on vinyl."
Long awaited......

"After I purchased Heaven is Waiting and Seduction I emailed cherry red and begged them to release the last Danse album. They finally did this month and I was really glad. However, while the songs are great it sounds as if Cherry Red took a cassette tape and burnt it onto cd. The sound is very muffled except for on track 7. I understand that these songs were only demos that DS made to get a new record deal, but I bet some kind of re-mastering could have been done. This is the reason i gave it only 4 stars. it is a great album, a little less "goth" than Heaven is Waiting, but a great album"
