Soon Over, Soon Under

can live (from the new Landed booklet)

I just got the next 4 Can remastered edition cds: "Future Days", "Soon Over Babaluma", Unlimited Edition" and "Landed". All sound as good as I'd hoped with the clarity, punchiness, balance and lack of hiss that the 1st 4 showed so easily. This time it's a little harder to see the differences but it's all in the details. So - good to great albums with another great makeover. Here's some comparisons for you:

mp3s: Moonshake
mp3s: Come Sta, La Luna
mp3s: Doko E

The only thing I've done to the originals is to normalise the wav files.

btw, here's my favourite Can albums from most to least loved:

Ege Bamyasi (first and foremost, forever and ever)
Tago Mago (always the bridesmaid)
Soon Over Babaluma (the most under-rated release)
Monster Movie (rockin')
Soundtracks (surprisingly strong)
Unlimited Edition (bits and pieces but still wonderfull)
Future Days (oh so over-rated)
Delay 68 (one great track)
all the others
Landed
