  1. Brian May. Common decency

    It's depressing what passes for "serious discussion" on this forum sometimes. I will be interested to see what Brian's plan is. Something has to change and he could well be a useful conduit for bringing people togethe...

  2. C_Matt's HD Revisions

    C_Matt I've just discovered your excellent work. I can't imagine how many hours you must have spent on these. Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to Queen II and maybe one day Sheer Heart Attack (too much to ask, I kn...

  3. 1974-03-31 40 years ago today : RAINBOW THEATRE , the best Queen Show ?

    Thanks for sharing. This sounds better than any previous version I've heard, but still seems to suffer from over EQing and maybe compression with the harsh treble. Both are very digital-era symptoms, to me. Unfortunat...

  4. Least sibilant Queen masters

    Putting our Militant Lesbian Masters aside, has anyone heard the recent Japan SACDs of these albums. Are they any less sibilant (ie less compressed and limited) than other recent releases?

  5. Least sibilant Queen masters

    Wait until either the multitrack stems of all the songs have been released and master a better version for yourself, or remixed HD audiophile download versions are released.

  6. MULTITRACKS DON'T STOP ME NOW !!!!

    I may be imagining things, but a straight mix of all tracks sounds pretty good in terms of maybe being the best quality version of this song available, ie less compressed and limited than any of the remasters.

  7. Brian May - a true gentleman

    Yes GratefulFan, my cat is an awesome real cat, and I appreciate your comments. A quote from one of Brian's songs that he revealed years later was really about the death of his cat, seems relevant and maybe gives an i...

  8. Brian May - a true gentleman

    I would not say "that animal life can or should be valued equally by humans in all situations", only that it should not automatically be less valued in all situations. For example I might value my cat's life above say...

  9. Brian May - a true gentleman

    I don't think Brian's stance on animal welfare is intended to be part of the current cultural "norm". I believe that, unfortunately, even now in the 21st century, the views he espouses are still way ahead of their tim...

  10. THE GREATEST QUEEN TRIBUTE IN EUROPE

    Who bestows the "official Queen Tribute band" status in Portugal or anywhere else?

  11. Preview of the second five albums re-issued

    I can't help feeling the instrumental and a capella versions are harbingers of remix/HD/DTS/whatever releases to come.

  12. The Seven Seas Of Rhye (Instrumental)

    Soundfreak wrote: As the song was obviously recorded using a tuned piano - and those are always tuned to A= 440 Hz It's also possible that the piano was not tuned to concert pitch. Often they are tuned to themselves a...

  13. Question about First 5 Album Remasters

    Depressing to see that record companies still haven't learnt that staggering release dates internationally just annoys their customers. It's not as if they don't have an alternative to waiting.

  14. The Best Remasters, track by track

    joesilvey wrote: ... i honestly believe(d) the stereo audio tracks from the Greatest Video Hits are simply the single/video versions with no remixing done. The 5.1 track is a different story of course as they had to s...

  15. The Best Remasters, track by track

    Apologies for digging up this old thread, but it seems odd that, aside from a brief mention by rhyeking, the remixed Greatest Video Hits tracks have not been considered. These certainly have much better spatial and ge...

  16. BBC session 2

    Presumably Ogre Battle belongs to session 3, but is a more complete version than on the CD. I'm curious to know how GH works out what the correct speed of session 2 is. Is it by pitch, assuming they were playing to co...

  17. BBC Session 4 MASTER COPY

    Many thanks for sharing these recordings. They sound great. It's the first time I've heard listenable versions of sessions 4 and 5, and 6 is better than ever!
