I consider the sound of Time Out of Mind to be the best part of the album.
Amazing depth, ambiance, sense of airiness/distance/physical space (the instruments/voices themselves, and the physical space they occupy together, whether in their room or in the ‘soundstage’ of my speakers), while still retaining clarity where there needs to be clarity.
Not easy, and an impressive achievement I still find sonically remarkable.
Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning
"Time Out of Mind" was always a powerful record, despite the murky original mix.
Now, with most of the sonic muck that producer Daniel Lanois smeared onto the music scraped off and rinsed away, it's full glory is revealed. Abetted by terrific SQ, its impact is stunning.
The old mantra "original mixes are always better" is blown out of the water by this.
For my tastes, this is one of the best releases in the Bootleg Series-- a dream come true for Dylan lovers-- and one of the best Dylan releases since "Blood on the the Tracks".
Lyric fragments keep cycling in my head. . .
"People on the platforms
waiting for trains
I can hear their hearts a beatin'
like pendulums swingin' on chains"

@stuartk No, not at all. I like this album’s sound. I listen to all manner of music. Music audiophiles would turn away like a rotten fish because it doesn’t sound like Diana Krall, Brothers in Arms, Aja, or Dark Side of the Moon. |
