│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Scanner, this very special and exciting band ║ │
│║ turns thirty and to celebrate they have put ║ │
│║ together a compilation they call a best of and ║ │
│║ added some rerecording of older songs with the ║ │
│║ new line up. They call it The Galactos Tapes and ║ │
│║ it contains fifteen songs from the career in ║ │
│║ remastered editions and ten rerecorded songs ║ │
│║ where of course iconic songs like Warp 7 are ║ │
│║ present. But if you are Scanner, how do you put ║ │
│║ together a best of album? At least when ║ │
│║ considering that they have done one exceptional ║ │
│║ album in their debut Hypertrace and a few meh- ║ │
│║ albums and then they came back with a bang in ║ │
│║ 2015 with their second best album that is still ║ │
│║ a long way of the great Hypertrace that was ║ │
│║ rereleased last year along with the second album ║ │
│║ Terminal Earth. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There is a fair deal of variation over the songs ║ │
│║ considering that the Scanner albums were all ║ │
│║ quite different in style with different ║ │
│║ vocalists and so on. Their style has do be ║ │
│║ described as Sci-Fi heavy metal, heavy metal ║ │
│║ with a touch of spacey things. The career took ║ │
│║ off at warp speed, and that makes it kind of ║ │
│║ strange that they start the album with Galactos ║ │
│║ that was a bonus track on the Japanese version ║ │
│║ of Hypertrace and on the rerelease from last ║ │
│║ year. This track is the worst of the rereleased ║ │
│║ version of Hypertrace and Warp 7 would have ║ │
│║ started it better but the songs fit well ║ │
│║ together bar perhaps the Queen cover Innuendo ║ │
│║ that feels a bit out of place. The second disk ║ │
│║ sounds more like the last Scanner album but with ║ │
│║ more familiar songs, and good production. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I think that this is a pretty good document of ║ │
│║ the Scanner career, their six albums feels well ║ │
│║ represented here, and the second album is a good ║ │
│║ show of how the old albums could have sounded if ║ │
│║ they made them today. In the case of the ║ │
│║ Hypertrace songs they are quite a lot worse, but ║ │
│║ still good songs. Overall I think it works quite ║ │
│║ well and it is a likeable collection of songs ║ │
│║ but there are several of the bandÆs best songs ║ │
│║ missing. I think that is a problem when you have ║ │
│║ one exceptional album where all the songs are ║ │
│║ better than anything else the band has done, the ║ │
│║ only song besides the ones already on Hypertrace ║ │
│║ that would have fitted on Hypertrace is the one ║ │
│║ called Puppet on a String. Otherwise I think ║ │
│║ there are some songs they shouldnÆt have on a ║ │
│║ best of album, like Innuendo and Galactos that ║ │
│║ arenÆt particularly interesting songs. Still, I ║ │
│║ think a better choice for a celebratory album ║ │
│║ would have been to rerelease Hypertrace with the ║ │
│║ added bonus of having that album rerecorded with ║ │
│║ the new line up, that would have been great û ║ │
│║ why didnÆt they think of that? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So, it is a good collection of songs but it is ║ │
│║ hard to think that this is the best they have, ║ │
│║ as I know there are several of their best songs ║ │
│║ missing from this ôbest ofö -album. I still ║ │
│║ think it is an album worth getting though, if ║ │
│║ not only for the rerecorded versions of their ║ │
│║ older songs. But in my view Scanner have already ║ │
│║ released their best of album, twice. ║ │
