Pat Benatar - In the Heat of the Night - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD reissue presents nine Top 10 Hall and Oates singles with awe-inspiring detail and palpable realism. Lifelike tones grace the array of guitars, pianos, basses, and voices placed against synthesized backdrops. Each member's singing claims enhanced intimacy and balance. The collective harmonies sound sharper, the dynamics richer, and the soundstages wider and deeper. While the tandem's peers often relied on robotic mechanisms and now-dated keyboard devices, Hall and Oates wisely merge the period's savvy styles with tried-and-true soulful instrumentation.

Breakthrough Debut Launched Heart's Hall of Fame Career Dreamboat Annie Blends Electric and Acoustic Elements, Includes the Classics 'Magic Man' and 'Crazy on You'50th Anniversary Edition of 1975 Album Features Audiophile Sound Mobile Fidelity's Hybrid SACD Plays with Revealing Clarity and Full-Range ResponsivenessHeart's breakthrough debut, Dreamboat Annie, has often been framed in the context of a female-led band successfully matching the moves of it's male counterparts during an era when women weren't associated with rocking out - particularly on a mainstream level. While that take is true - Ann and Nancy Wilson practically stood alone amid a commercial age dominated by testosterone - it undersells the appeal, scope, and craftsmanship of an album that deserves to be revered strictly because of it's merit, not because of the gender of the group's principal members. Mastered at MoFi's California studio and housed in mini-LP-style packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD puts the record's artistic significance in proper perspective. It invites you to hear with stellar clarity the diverse architecture, passionate playing, and fervent emotions that help make Dreamboat Annie an all-time classic. This 50th anniversary edition also marks the first time Heart's opening salvo has been available in audiophile quality on disc in more than a decade.Press 'play' and experience the textures of the guitars, full range of Ann Wilson's voice, spacious backdrops of the arrangements, and rhythmic momentum - crucial components of Heart's songs - free of veiled tones and artificial ceilings. Ample separation between instruments and black backgrounds bring the music into detailed focus, whether it's the full decay of percussive accents, layered stacking of group harmonies, or depth of the bass lines. Helmed by Mike Flicker, Dreamboat Annie features advanced production
