"I can tell you that this is not just "louder, brighter" mastering. The set has to communicate the core elements of Sting's music: the drama, passion, intensity, creativity, whimsy -- all of it. Some songs are intended to be big and some are delicate. The box balances that so a listener can put it on and hear the similarity and contrasts of the music through all the permutations of Sting's career. We took an enormous amount of time to make sure we stayed true to the music while putting it in a new context for today's listener." http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/09/scott-hull-on-the-new-sting-box-set-25-years/#comments Wed, 07 Sep 2011 22:49:04 +0000 James Beaudreau http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/?p=1386 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/09/scott-hull-on-the-new-sting-box-set-25-years/feed/ 0 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/04/rush-moving-pictures-out-today-in-5-1-surround-and-hi-res-stereo/ Great news!
