The music rocks! The mix sucks!,
By Pierre Briere (Charleston, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spring Session M (Audio CD)
I bought this CD because I really love this music. I saw Missing Persons live on the tour to promote this album. What an awesome show. What an awesome sound. I still find that's true today. However, it's CDs like these, touted as remixed (and don't get me wrong, most are good) that make me wish there was some standard in the record industry as to what "remixed" really means. Whose specifications are used for the remix? And is it remastered to simply remove tape hiss from the original analog recording? Or is it remixed to be "new and improved" sound? And if that is the case, then who decides what's new and improved? What plagues this disk is the crappy, inconsistent mix. The first two tracks are missing any semblance of the POWERFUL bass drum of Terrio Bozzio. It gets better (but never quite right) on some tracks after the first two. Also missing is clarity on the cymbals. The mix on them is muddy. The rest of the disc has issues throughout. It seems as if when the cymbals are clear and not weak, something else suffers. I cannot cite a single track where everything is totally right in the mix. Just to be sure I wasn't losing my mind, I took out my mint-condition vinyl copy of this album and played it. What a difference. My vinyl copy shines! It's so much better than this shoddy product I just got stuck with. It seems as if Capitol records just released this disc just to capitalize on the whole "retro" thing without paying much attention to quality. Shame on you, Capitol records. I only gave this two stars because my listening experience was so negatively affected by the annoying mix. Do yourself a favor and find a good copy of this on vinyl.

Definitive & Amazing New Wave Album,
By
This review is from: Spring Session M (Audio CD)
Missing Persons defined 80's new wave. I actually give it 4.5 stars. If a person wanted to know what the 80's decade sounded like you would give them a copy of Spring Session M. This album is amazing every track is good you won't skip on this CD. There sound was very ecclectic Dale Bozzio's voice is so unique with her trade mark hiccup. Terry Bozzio is an amazing drummer. I just recently saw Missing Persons live at a venue in my hometown obviously not the original lineup but Dale still looked and sounded incredible one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Standout tracks Noticeable Ones, Window, the famous Destination Unknown, and Walking in LA but the whole album is catchy. Missing Persons were pioneers of synth new wave modern rock and Spring Session M proves it. Essential album in collection to anyone who truly likes 80's new wave.

What a brilliant piece of work!,
By
This review is from: Spring Session M (Audio CD)
Missing Persons' anagramatically named "Spring Session M" is easily one of the Top 10 1980s records and anyone wishing to explore some of the best efforts of 80's New Wave, can count on a wild ride with Mr. & Mrs. Bozzio and Company. Dale Bozzio's vocals and on-screen charisma may have given the band its visual center but Terry Bozzio's fantastic drums and musical vision were its artistic "hinge." His playing on "Windows" is some of the finest drumming in rock. Dale's vocals made songs like (What are) "Words" (for?) and "Walking In L.A." pure fun and the videos she fronts were not to be forgotten -- as when she sings "Words" wearing little else but a small TV set and a clear vinyl bra. So it was no false claim when she also sings on the cut "Noticeable Ones" that "I am your social and your cultural leader ... for I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me!" We did and it was tough to forget...
