"This review will not focus on the content of these albums as there merit is beyond question but rather on whether or not these remasters are worth getting over previously released versions. ABSOLUTELY!. I just conducted a single blind listening test; the gold disk version of Equinoxe against the new Dreyfus label recording and I'm amazed. This new remaster is clear, defined, expressive and has a much higher signal to noise ratio then the gold disk. Track 1 sent chills down my spine like when I first listened to this album in 86'. The gold disk which I have so often enjoyed, now sounds like it has a layer of seran wrap covering it. Simply stated, if your a Jarre fan and love to hear your music in top form there is no question about the purchase. I'm looking forward to hearing, Oxygene and Zoolook which all have been remastered by the master. Come on finish it off with a Rendevous/Magnetic Fields box."
