Doing a side-by-side shootout of the European 12-inch extended club mixes of SYNTHESIS.

The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.
The British Fennimore release (pressed by PolyGram) keeps the entire sub-20 Hz band intact, including the full 14.2 Hz carrier.

If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier!

The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding. The bass shakes the floorboards on a good pair of speakers.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
