CD Reviews

Even Chris Thompson wouldn't want to be remembered like this

Roderick Keech | Australia | 01/24/2007

(2 out of 5 stars)

"It pains me to write negative reviews. After all, much opinion is subjective, even that of sound quality. (Sadly) I know people who cannot distinguish the difference in sound between a disc played on a $100 Chinese sound system and one played on a $10,000 high-end SACD system. That said, you can probably see where I am heading here. The programme contents of this 'Best of" compilation are fine, covering the artist's solo work, that with his band Night, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Alan Parsons project - even a single with Sarah Brightman - no real complaints there. However, it is the sound quality, or rather lack of it, that lets this retrospective down. If you read 'Charlie Bear's' review of 'Night', you will find a list of what he describes as the record label's trangressions, and many of them appear on this release also:

* bad sonics

* inconsistent db levels

* thin shallow sound

It seems Renaissance Records are the culprit again. What should have been a satisfying overview of Chris Thompson's career has turned out to be a thoroughly frustrating listening experience. According to the liner notes, John W Edwards of Renaissance is responsible for the 'digital remastering' (shame on you Mr Edwards), and the whole product is licensed by Chris Thompson to Renaissance. Bet you he wishes he'd picked another label.

In conclusion, this disc is only recommended to those whose 'ear' is not particularly discerning. 2 stars for the titles included."

The Best Album I've Heard In A Long Time!

Karen J. Smith | Wilmington, DE USA | 08/01/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"WOW! What a great album!!! I practically gave up on ever finding this title song on an album, and I first tried to get it in the 80's. But here it is on this compilation album in 2008 and I am just thrilled! Chris' voice is fantastic on every song and I love, love, love the whole album. Thank you, Amazon, for having this wonderful surprise for me!"
