Sound Quality: 4
Some Great Reward has joined several other DM albums in DVD-Audio re-release, and it confirmed suspicions I had when listening to this album repeatedly in the '80s on my crappy no-name boombox. Suspicion 1: Synthesizers can sound good when they're presented properly. The electronic compositions on the 5.1 DTS album and on the stereo CD are lushly mixed and have an excellent soundstage. Each state-of-the-art 1984 effect is delivered with punch, and with quick progressions from soft to loud and back. Suspicion 2: "Somebody," really does have a random conversation and the sounds of clinking drinking glasses going on in the background. With the boombox, I was never quite sure. -DC Gott View Related Article
