Dylan2712 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) just noticed these errors, and i don't know if this had been brought up before? on the Hemispheres disc in sector 2, there is a labeling error. it goes as: 1. Cygnus Book II: Hemispheres (and then the different movements) 3. Circumstances 4. The Trees 5. La Villa Strangiato the number 2 was skipped. also, in the vinyl replica gatefold of Signals, on the inside with the lyrics,it is missing the title for "Countdown". are there any other errors that someone else has noticed? besides the sound issues, obviously.

drbirdsong Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It's odd. My Hemispheres has the numbers correct 1-4, but the red Countdown title is missing on Signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak2112 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The biggest error with the Sector remasters is that they are a loud, brickwalled mess. Louder even than the 97 remasters, which I didnt think was technically possible. Very very sad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with ghostie too often, but my copier doesn't usually make corrections once I hit "print" Not that it's a big deal, but just a curiosity.

wilb1972 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So does anyone know if the glitches with the Sector sets have been cleared up? I have seen comments on Amazon.com as late as last week from reviewers stating that the problems were still existant on the sets they purchased.

Dylan2712 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I meant the numbers on the disc itself are incorrect; http://s18.postimage.org/78648zzyx/photo_5.jpg and i was just curious to see if there were any other errors that you guys may have encountered while looking over your boxsets? i just stumbled upon these while looking at them on Christmas and thought i'd share.

GeminiRising79 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sounds like everything they've produced in the past 12 years has been botched in some significant way. Has success finally taken its toll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan2712 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 my Sector 1 set just came in today and something i noticed right away is that in the 2112 part of the booklet, there's a big empty space above the title and track listing. i wonder if the 2112 prelude ("i lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon...") was supposed to be printed there? the rest of the "story" is under the right movement titles, but this one is missing from the booklet. this makes 1 error per sector, as well as 1 error per different medium; disc, disc sleeve, and booklet. funny how that works.

My guess is the band has hardly listened to or looked over anything. Al probably had some good listens to the 5.1 mixes, but outside of that I'd say he didn't have much more input. These releases were quickly put together in hopes of good holiday sells and nothing else. The sad thing is that these could have been really nice - better engineering (Steven Wilson), more detail on packaging, all releases in 5.1 etc...

1 of the 7 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 My boyfriend's theory is that items like these are being mass-produced in China these days, and they aren't taking the time to be sure all the details are transferred intact (and in the workers' defense, they probably CAN'T take the time).
