Comment CD remastered at Chop Em Out using HDCD by Simon Heyworth. Tracks 1-11: "Kilimanjaro" album (1980). HDCD, not decoded. Bonus tracks excluded. Remastered by Simon Heyworth. Played back on a suitable HDCD-decoding machine, the dynamic range improves, but still not as good as the 1989 CD. Sounds warmer than the earlier version (and the original record), but not as airy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analyzed folder: The Teardrop Explodes - Kilimanjaro ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DR Peak RMS Filename ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DR7 -0.60 dB -9.94 dB 01 - Ha Ha I'm Drowning.wav DR9 -0.60 dB -11.18 dB 02 - Sleeping Gas.wav DR9 -0.10 dB -10.32 dB 03 - Treason.wav DR8 -0.50 dB -10.04 dB 04 - Second Head.wav DR9 -0.10 dB -10.86 dB 05 - Poppies in the Field.wav DR9 -0.10 dB -10.94 dB 06 - Went Crazy.wav DR10 -0.10 dB -12.59 dB 07 - Brave Boys Keep Their Promises.wav DR10 -0.10 dB -10.92 dB 08 - Bouncing Babies.wav DR9 -0.10 dB -10.13 dB 09 - Books.wav DR9 -0.10 dB -11.16 dB 10 - The Thief of Baghdad.wav DR8 -0.10 dB -9.01 dB 11 - When I Dream.wav DR7 -0.10 dB -8.29 dB 12 - Reward.wav DR10 -0.10 dB -12.05 dB 13 - Kilimanjaro.wav DR11 -0.10 dB -13.17 dB 14 - Strange House in the Snow.wav DR12 -0.22 dB -16.31 dB 15 - Use Me.wav DR8 -0.10 dB -9.99 dB 16 - Traison.wav DR11 -0.10 dB -14.54 dB 17 - Sleeping Gas (Live).wav ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of files: 17 Official DR value: DR9 ============================================================================================== A second opinion - when the HDCD is decoded the DR doesn't improve as there's no "peak extend" on this disc. It does have noticeably more air around it though with HDCD. I agree it sounds warmer than the older disc.
