Our Take
Our Take
In the neon-lit world of synth-pop, few names sparkle as brightly as Howard Jones. His 1984 debut album "Humans Lib" is a cornerstone of the genre, blending catchy melodies with introspective lyrics in a way that still feels fresh today. Now, in 2024, Jones has revisited his classic record with a new stereo mix and 5.1 surround sound remix, injecting new life into an already timeless body of work.
The new mixes bring an added depth and clarity to Jones' intricate production, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the sonic tapestry he created over three decades ago. Tracks like "What Is Love?" and "New Song" sound as vibrant and urgent as ever, proving that great music truly knows no age.
But what truly sets this reissue apart is the attention to detail in the surround sound mix. Every subtle synth swirl and rhythmic pulse is given room to breathe, creating a multi-dimensional listening experience that is nothing short of breathtaking. It's as if Jones has unlocked a secret layer of his music, revealing hidden nuances that were always there, just waiting to be discovered.
Overall, the 2024 edition of "Humans Lib" is a must-listen for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Howard Jones has truly outdone himself with this reimagined version of a classic album, solidifying his place as a master of synth-pop wizardry. Raise your glass to the king of keyboards - long live Howard Jones!
