MFSL CDs

Archive for the ‘Heart MFSL’ Category

Few bands have had the ability to reshape themselves so that entirely new generations of fans can discover and connect with their music. Heart is an exception to this rule. Formed in 1973, Heart was well known to fans in the 1970's for their hard driving rock sound with folk roots. Their immense popularity was cemented by such hits as: Crazy On You, Magic Man, and Barracuda. At the center of the group's sound has always been the soaring vocals of Ann Wilson and her sister Nancy's guitar work and singing. They were unique in the rock world by so prominently featuring women at the front of the group's sound. Membership in the band has changed many times over the years, but Ann and Nancy Wilson have remained central to the band's popularity and success.

As the 1970's gave way to the more synthesized sound of the 1980's, it seemed as if Heart's popularity might wane. But in 1985 the band released it's 8th studio album, the self-titled, Heart. The album was a benchmark in the history of the group and launched a new and immensely popular sound for them. The album featured several hits including: If Looks Could Kill, What About Love, Never, Nothin' at All, and their first number one song These Dreams. A whole new generation was attracted to the rock inspired, power ballads that were the lynchpin of the new album.

The album, especially in the new Heart MFSL version, is a wonderful addition to the libraries of fans new and old. It is a great cross section of songs that shows the versatility of the band and the Wilson sisters in particular. What About Love and Nothin' at All definitively show how power ballads get their name. Ann's vocals give the emotion of the songs strength and a soaring passion. On These Dreams you get to hear Nancy's gentler take on lead vocals while still maintaining a full sound. Listen carefully and you can hear Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick of Jefferson Starship lending richness to the background vocals. Likewise, the track Nobody Home features a gentler more restrained sound. But lest the long-time fans of Heart be worried, the album does include several songs that reveal the hard rock roots under the 80's glitter. If Looks Could Kill is full of the throaty riffs and ripping solos that Heart fans have come to know and love. Deep cuts The Wolf and Shell Shock roar through the speakers in the Heart MFSL edition. This album is definitely a must have for all Heart fans.

For those unfamiliar with MFSL, it is a process intended to make the most of the original sound of an album. The Heart MFSL takes the original master recording tapes and creates new recordings mastered at half speed, creating truly superior sound. It is a listening experience like no other.
