Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun - Intervention SACD
Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun - Intervention SACD
SACD pressing. Digitally remastered and expanded edition. 1995's 100% Fun is the third leg of Matthew Sweet's Holy Trinity of Power Pop! Produced by Brendan O'Brien, it's a densely-layered production full of grinding guitars, heavy bass lines and BIG drum sounds. Intervention's 19-track expanded edition SACD set is the defining presentation of this great album sonically and in all other respects! 100% Fun is Direcct-to-DSD Mastered from the original master tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound. The master tapes are 30ips 1/2' analog reels, and the seven bonus tracks are on their own reel. Intervention's cut is big, punchy and dynamic with plenty of producer Brendan O'Brien signature crunch completely intact. Matthew's amazing vocals really shine here amid the layered densities of O'Brien's mix. A big, bold improvement over the 1990s original LP, and so much better than the CD as to make that comparison a total farce.
