Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Rage Hard The Sonic Collection (2001 - Pop) [Flac 24-88 SACD 5.1]



When one thinks of Frankie Goes to Hollywood (assuming you have heard of them), it is to "Relax".
Rage Hard collects all of their hits and some interesting covers in a disc that is way better than
it has any right being.

For the record, I am a huge fan of 80's music. FGTH has always been a group that I thought burned
out too soon.
All the songs that made them known to me are here. "Rage Hard", "Two Tribes", "Welcome to the
pleasuredome" and of course "Relax".
However, this album allowed me to hear things from them I had never heard.
Both "Maximum Joy" and "The Power of Love" are powerful songs that should have been big hits.
And the cover songs are really amazing here. Frankly, I thought "San Jose", "War" and "Born to Run"
were very interesting and well done. I would never have pictured FGTH being able to pull off a Bruce
Springsteen song and yet here it is. And it works.

The SACD is no sonically master-piece. However, the multi-channel mix is a fun experience.
Aggressive and making full use of every channel.
If you like an unobtrusive rear channel mix, this disc is not for you.
However, this material seems suited to the mix chosen and makes the music feel new.
If you are a fan, this is a no brainer.
