Reviews

    Beautiful remastered of this great album that I also own in the 2002 original but which was a sin of a somewhat confused and approximate mastering.
    With this release they have eliminated many defects and the sound is full-bodied and profound without appearing forcibly changed.
    The good thing about this edition is the excellent digipack double disc package, in which the original 2002 one is also present.
    In principle, certainly one of the best Bardi records in a new light and how it should have sounded already 20 years ago.
