Michael Stearns - Ancient Leaves 2019 reissue

· Posted: 25.08.2019 - 11:07 · #1

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone had compared the 2019 reissue of Ancient Leaves CD to the 1999 CD reissue on Groove Unlimited? I'm wondering if there is any noticeable improvement to warrant buying a copy?

Thanks,
Brett.

At least I have heard You, Brett - but sorry, I can't offer any help as I'm still unfamiliar with either the old nor the new version (well, once I played the album via YouTube while working in my daytime job, using rather poor audio equipment - not a situation to make a qualified judgement...).

But thanks for the reminder, actually I planned to buy the new version some day, but it had slipped from my busy memory again. Certainly the album is a classic...

Hey Brett!

I have the original Groove Unlimited version its actually a favorite late night listen. I have to say the quality of the "original" remaster is very good. Given the music is for the most part an early and very bare bones recording in his catalog there really is not much to improve on.

If you do not own any of these versions I highly recommend either one!
