 Rating:  - I WANT A NEW CD RELEASED!This is such a good package-filled with anything a long time fan would need. With them touring last summer(which I hope they release on DVD)I am hoping that a new CD with all new material is released. Lets pray on it!!!! Rating:  - Yazoo!!!Love the DVD that came with the set. You find out a lot of history tidbits. Also the single and b sides are cool. I was a fan before--more now! Rating: - Should be "In Your Room", too.You've probably already heard the music, but, here it is in remastered sound, 5.1 surround sound and includes remixes and b-sides. The packaging is great and the interviews are revealing. I was always under the impression that Yaz ended for other reasons. It is nice to hear how age and a different perspective can bring two very different people back together. Who knows what the future holds for Yaz? If anyone could record and write for two different bands it would be Vince Clarke. Many of the ... Read More Rating:  - Really Worth It?I'm a big fan of Yaz but was this release really worth it? The two albums in remastered format have been out for a few years. The "remixes" CD wasn't anything to write home about, especially when compared to the remix EPs released in the UK which were significantly better. Then there is the DVD. That might be worth something but personally I watch those maybe once or twice. Overall I think this is a steep price to pay for what you actually get. Rating: - ALMOST perfect!I am thrilled to have this set! I'm not too upset about some of the missing remixes as some. My only complaint is that State Farm and Situation were not remixed in 5.1. I love the 5.1 remixes they add a fun complexity to the songs with much better dynamic range and sound field image. If you're a completest don't bother buying the U.K. edition. For all the extra money all you get is a "oo" at the end of Yaz. They are otherwise identical. |
