If you don't mind digipack you're better off getting the AHS original and the Reconstellation bootleg. Constellation might be remastered but I don't think My Angel is, not that I see any point in remastering Constellation. The two session leftovers extra tracks are rather worthless. On the whole I'd rather play the originals with some equalizing magic than the remastered ones. I particularly dislike the sham-mirrorish cheese howl in Raudt og Svart. Some tracks are cut short at the end (just a fraction of a second but still annoying) and some vocals have been re-recorded. The remastering is rather uneven - it reveals previously hidden parts in the mix, some of which is good but it also brings defects to the front. Too much cheese.Īspera Hiems Symfonia + Constellation + My Angel dcd 2002 (remastered) Some rather catchy tunes but I can't stand half the vocals. Some tracks are brilliant and others I can't stand. Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album Reissue CD Includes 'Shipwrecked in Oslo' DVD Includes unlimited streaming of Sideshow Symphonies/Shipwrecked in Oslo via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Masters of Disguise cd 1999 (intro + new track + remixes) I'd buy this cd if I could find a non-digipack release. I don't know what those are supposed to be, but this is a nice easy way to get hold of the first two releases if you want to hear them.Īspera Hiems Symfonia cd 1994 (digipack only?) Includes Constellation and My Angel and two tracks called Morax Anno 1996 ev. Rather drab except for the real funky 1½ last minutes of Morax.Ĭonstellation promo-cd 1994 500 copies (plus 500 vinyl bootlegs)Įarly versions of four of the tracks from Aspera Hiems Symfonia, all of which are better on AHS. My Angel 7'' 1991 1100 copies (another 2-7 hundred bootlegs on red vinyl 1997?) Cut'n'paste from the last Arcturus thread on the Opeth forum from a week or two ago:
