Foreigner’s Foreigner on Numbered Limited-Edition Hybrid SACD from MobileFidelity. Blockbuster 1977 Debut Packed With Anthemic Classic Rock Hits andHeroic Guitar Riffs. Feels Like the First Time: You’ve Never Heard ForeignerSound So Immediate, Detailed, and Punchy!
Blissful feelings arise at the mere mention of ’70s arena rock. It giveslisteners the permission to have fun, sing along to aircraft-hangar-sizechoruses, play air guitar solos, forget about any troubles, recall theexperience of a first kiss, and quite simply, rock out. Few albums betterinstill these pleasures than Foreigners 1977 self-titled debut album, afive-times platinum blockbuster chock full of salacious riffs, soaring vocals,edgy beats, and lyrics that practically demand to be shouted. And while therecord has always boasted clean, immediate production, never before has itexploded with the dynamic intensity and rich transparency now made possible onMobile Fidelitys system-challenging hybrid SACD. This is what rock n rolldreams are made of.
Spearheaded by guitar hero Mick Jones, fresh off success with Spooky Tooth,Foreigner rallied around a talented collective pulled from the U.S. and U.K. Joining up with former King Crimson instrumentalist Ian McDonald and drummerDennis Elliott, as well as keyboardist Al Greenwood and bassist Ed Gagliardi,Jones completed the puzzle with the addition of extraordinary singer Lou Gramm,whose vocal timbre and limitless pipes remain one of the most instantlyidentifiable combinations in music. Before long, two eternal radioclassicsFeels Like the First Time and Cold As Ice, composed on a miniaturepiano and inspired by Hollywood star Joan Crawfordwere in the bag. Eight moretunes, each as solid as those that came before, followed, and Foreigner quicklybecame an overnight rock sensation.
In contrast to much of the eras angrier fare and crudely produced music,Foreigner stood out by way of its clean, muscular, professional production.Still, Mobile Fidelity believed that underneath the surfaces, an even fresher,bigger-sounding record loomed. Remastered from the original master tapes, MoFishybrid SACD presents the sextets roof-raising anthems and scintillating blendof guitars, synths, and Gramms soulful vocals across a wider, deeper soundstagethan ever before imagined. Instrumental separation, tonal balance, and imagingare absolutely superb. Better still, the songs come across with an assertiveliveliness that adds to their enjoyment, structure, and melodic character. Theaccessory flutes, saxophones, and synthesizer solos have never sounded soenmeshed within the overall sonic fabric.
Get ready to hear your new favorite ’70s rock album and push the limits of yoursystems dynamics.
