Review: An excellent remaster, for an excellent album - Kate Bush's ten album discography, is filled with enchanting, and artistic music - "The Red Shoes" is no exception. Sadly of the years, "The Red Shoes" has faced harsh criticism from some fans and critiques. Many of the complaints are geared toward Kate's change in style for this album; some complained the album was too "simple", and too "pop". Upon my first listen to infamous album, I found it too be emotionally involving, beautiful work of art. Songs such as "And So Is Love", & "You're the One" though heartbreaking, are still addictive. "The Red Shoes" also manages to display a more, "upbeat" side, with "Rubberband Girl" and "Eat the Music", the lead singles from the album (depending on region). Though these songs have a "fun" atmosphere (this is the word Bush to describe "Rubberband. . ." in an interview), they still carry strong meanings and messages; trying to be able to "bounce back" from life's troubling situations, and to "split him upon" with "devotion" respectively. The original 1993 release of "The Red Shoes" was recorded and mastered through digital means. The advent of "digitally" recorded music, according to Bush, promised a "lack of tape hiss" and "clarity". Sadly this process did not deliver pleasing results; the album was chided for having a "shrill" and "cold" quality. However, this new version of the "The Red Shoes" solves these supposed problems; using the the analogue backups of the album, the "shrillness" has been replaced with a much warmer, and open atmosphere. This "remaster", has truly perfected "The Red Shoes", affirming it's place as one of the greatest albums of the '90s, as well as one of Bush's most emotionally touching works of art. "I always felt the sound of the original version of 'The Red Shoes' was a little edgy due to the digital equipment we were using at the time. Everyone was under pressure back then to work in the digital domain as it promised so much with lack of tape his and its supposed clarity... I remained a devoted lover of analogue and was delighted to recently come across the back up mixes of this album on 1/2" analogue tape. I hope you will enjoy this truly remastered version."-Kate Bush, describing the remaster. Review: This is the version of "The Red Shoes" you want! - This is the remastered version of the album "The Red Shoes." The original release was the only Kate Bush album to be released with digital mastering, which the artist later regretted -- and with very good reason. The album's sound was too crisp and created a disconnective edge between the voice and the music, impeding the album's atmosphere. It wasn't terrible by any means, but it certainly was jarring after hearing the warmth of her previous (wonderful) albums "Hounds of Love" and The Sensual World." Bush has rectified this problem, not with a further digitally remastered version but rather with the ORIGINAL analog-mastered backups! The result is a sound that is quite a bit more layered and rich-sounding (think "The Sesual World") than the previous version. If you enjoy "The Red Shoes," you will want this release. It makes a very good album GREAT. Also of note: The inserts and booklet with this version differ from the original release, including a note about why she released this new edition.) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BDJ62E | | Best Sellers Rank | #589,058 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #2,127 in British Alternative Rock #8,108 in Adult Alternative (CDs & Vinyl) #10,352 in Progressive Rock | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (371) | | Date First Available | December 15, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Toshiba EMI Japan | | Manufacturer | Toshiba EMI Japan | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.5 x 5 x 0.25 inches; 3.53 ounces | ## Images ![Red Shoes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OUaGbkWeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent remaster, for an excellent album *by C***S on June 22, 2013* Kate Bush's ten album discography, is filled with enchanting, and artistic music - "The Red Shoes" is no exception.
