Am I alone in liking this album? :-). It's not my favorite Weather Report album, but it is far from my least favorite. I know the focus is on "recording quality", but I can't help but bring up "Zero Tolerance for Silence" by Pat Metheny. Ugh! An album that always dissapointed me in the sound quality department was "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull. The music is awesome, but the recording has no balls whatsoever - no punch, no sparkle, just sounds very flat. I remember the disappointment when I ripped my vinyl copy. I got the remaster on CD hoping for an improvement - nope. Other albums from that era sound awesome (Abbey Road, Meddle, Fragile, etc.), so I don't know what happened with this album. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
