| FOREIGNER - 4 [Limited Edition MFSL - SACD] (2013)
Finally arrived: one of my favorite albums of all time, FOREIGNER 4, received a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) remaster treatment. This
Numbered Limited Edition Hybrid SACD released past week is a sonic
Heaven.
Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s hybrid SACD
presents "4" in a room-filling, stadium-big sound that simply crushes
what’s heard on all prior digital versions.
Replete with energetic rockers such as “Urgent,” “Night Life,” and
“Woman In Black,” the record benefits from a sonic facelift that opens
up the previously compressed dynamics, expands the dimensions of the
soundstage, dials in a clear path to the instrumental images, and erases
the ceiling that pressed down on Lou Gramm’s superhuman vocals.
For the first time, Robert John "Mutt" Lange’s obsessive, detail-oriented production can be enjoyed in all its splendid glory.
Lange uses his magic touch on "4", pairing with guitarist Mick Jones
who, armed with the best batch of riffs of his career, shared a the
producer’s sentiment for discipline, efficiency, and cleanliness. And
so, on crisp tunes like “Break It Up,” pianos and hard-hitting guitars
share the same space without ever impinging on one another or
overstepping boundaries.
The winning formula also propels Top 5 hits like the wildly “Urgent,”
sent to new heights by Junior Walker’s dazzling saxophone solo &
Thomas Dolby’s synthesizers, and the touching “Waiting For A Girl Like
You,” a crossover smash hit that introduced Foreigner to soft-rock and
AOR audiences.
Simply stated, "4" has everything: rocking tunes, heartfelt torch songs
and synth-drenched AOR numbers. The playing throughout positively
smokes, as the one-two punch of Gramm and Jones lands with both
emotional and musical impact every time. There's not a single wasted
note. And, reduced to a quartet, Foreigner seems bent on making more
with less, just as Lange does with the polished production.
This is 42 minutes of Melodic Hard / AOR bliss with a crystalline 2013
