In Reply to: Which Simple Minds did MoFi do? posted by radiodaddy on December 27, 2013 at 09:05:11:
New Gold Dream was better balanced & more full range on the remastered redbook CD of 2004. The SACD sounds better because of the increased resolution of the instruments: but worse in another sense because Mobile Fidelity EQ'd in warmth.
The "banana" Velvet Underground had the same thing happen.
Both the vinyl & the redbook were better balanced across the sonic spectrum. But as you say, both original final mixes kind of sucked.
The Pixies were a different story. Surfer Rosa sounded pretty good on vinyl & redbook, but Mobile Fidelity messed up the SACD.
IMO, the Dead Can Dance SACDs illustrated MF getting it right with another band, on the same label, with the original final 2 channel mixes happening at around the same time.
