The definitive cd version of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy March 2, 2008
B. E. Busch (Portland, OR)
The previous reviewer posted his doubts as to whether or not this was actually remastered. The answer is a most definite yes! I've owned this double disc since 1999 and listened to it numerous times over the years. Classic Records did an outstanding job on this double-disc set. Comparing my regular cd of Fumbling to the gold cd the first thing I noticed was the clarity of her voice and the cymbals. Her voice doesn't sound as closed in on the 24k disc and the cymbals sound more natural, like the audio has had a light layer of glaze removed. The cymbal strokes at the beginning of the track "Wait" almost give you goosebumps. I wouldn't say it's night and day difference but it is very noticeable if you're listening closely. This 2 disc set is very hard to find these days as it was a limited production run when it was in print. If you're a big fan of these cd's and you have a nice stereo then it's well worth the money.
 Was It Really Re-Mastered?? June 20, 2007

This is a pretty solid item...You don't get much better than Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, the album that made Sarah McLachlan a household name...But I'm not sure if this double-disc is ACTUALLY remastered. I bought it back in '97 when it came out. The copyright, etc say '97, though it may not have been released til '98. In any case, this pressing is on gold discs which were foolishly tagged back in the day to have superior sound quality, and we all know that isn't really true. But I'm very skeptical about these 2 discs being remasters or having any sound-quality superiority over the originals.

You must have this two cd set.She will transport you to the side of music that is mysterious and yet full of nimble footed clarity.Sarah is a daugter of the bee hive.LET'S SHARE HER MUSIC WITH THE WAYFARERS AND THE little punks at the end of the lane.Who need to be exposed to the bronze of her style.The sound quality sounds better then ever thanks to remastering.

Fumbling and the Freedom Sessions are two of my favorite albums. When I saw that they had been remastered, I had to purchase them.I am not at all disappointed that I did. The soundstage and clarity of the recordings has been greatly enhanced. Contary to popular believe, the gold does nothing for the CDs. A laser reads 1s and 0s the same if they are green, silver, or gold. Anyway...these are beautful. Highly recommended if you have a good system to listen to them on. My system: Rotel RSP 980 pre Rotel RB985 MKII amp ACI Sapphire III speakers SVS 25-31 sub Yamaha CD

the artwork on the front cover right away, can set this special boxed set edition apart from it's 2 counterparts. The complete lyric booklets of each album are printed in the entirety on the inside of the thick booklet, and it's one of those 2 in 1 CD jewel cases, so it will fit on any normal CD rack. The best thing about these two discs are the SOUND. 24k gold helps, but the fact that these are remastered from the original souce tape is a tremendous asset to this recording. The cymbols on disc 1, track 2 (wait) are the most lifelike I've ever heard on recording. I have a very nice stereo and an avid musician myself, so yes, there is a big difference made here. If you like either of these albums, and you have a stereo of high enough caliber to reproduce subtle nuances of a recording; BUY IT. Period. The hidden track on FTE is, in a word, incredible. 5 Stars. Enjoy
