I was at Borders today with a 50% off coupon good for any full-price CD (That's $18.99!!!) and I saw that they had all of the newly-released remasters of all of Peter Gabriel's albums. Since Peter Gabriel is my all-time favorite artist, I had a bit of a hard time deciding
I decided to pick up "So" since I figured it would probably benefit the most from remastering (old enough that the original mastering probably wasn't great, new enough to have been recorded well). If you're a Peter Gabriel fan, this is definitely worth getting -- the remastered version is incredible compared to the original; it's like a whole new album! Voices are much more distinct, instruments have more detail and separation, and the bass is MUCH better.
My only complaint is that they changed the order of the tracks on the remaster. "In Your Eyes" is now the last song? On the other hand, it appears that Peter Gabriel had a say in the remasters, so maybe this is the order he really wanted them in.
If the other remasters are as good as this one, I'm buying them all
