| The Sound of the Future from the Past Today
I originally bought this album in 1971 it was electric just as the cover stated I think everyone in Scotland had a copy at that time, in 1985 I bought it on compact disc on Sierra records it had 2 extra tracks Hot Love and Debora sound was good but not whatI expected from the new medium of compact disc in 2003 Tony Visconti released the digitally remastered version" WOW" was this an insight to what had been lying in the vaults, shortly after a SACD version appeared the sound was amazing and included the full version of Get It On (Bang A Gong)inthe USA, I had never heard that version before but I was still not impressed by the 5.1 Surround sound it still seemed flat then by chance I stumbled on to the CD Universe site and saw that it was available on DVD - Audio I had to have that 6 days later I received the disc when I put it in my player Marc Bolan and his orchestra and band were in my living room "incredible" SACD sounds good ,DVD-Audio essential buy it a must.

| Bolan's Best
With the release of Electric Warrior, Marc Bolan dropped his hippie persona and boogied headlong into glam rock, territory where only Bowie and Mott the Hoople could also sustain any success. Electri Warrior is the best example of the glam rock period and Bolan's best effort. His verbose sci-fi based lyrics (such as "It's all right, love is what you want, flying saucer take me away, give me your daughter" from "Planet Queen") actually help accent the music. From the opening Bo-Diddley like chords of "Mambo Sun" (check out that guitar solo at the end) to the bizarre sustained strings at the end of "Rip Off," "Electric Warrior" is a fun ride. Stand out tracks include the ballad "Life's A Gas," the Gene Vincent-styled "Jeepster," and Bolan's anthem "(Get it on) Bang A Gong." Another highlight is the aforementioned "Planet Queen," complete with eerie background vocals from the Turtles' Flo and Eddie. The remastered version of this album clarifies the strings, which are used to great effect, as well as Bolan's funky and concise guitar playing. Bolan had one other great album in him, the equally rocking "The Slider" and one fair album "Tanx," before glam rock ran its course and he perished in a car accident (T-wrecks indeed), but "Electric Warrior" is his moment in the spotlight and a worthy addition to anyone's record collection.

| Incredible
Hard to believe this album dates from the early 70's....the sound quality on DVD-A is nothing short of incredible. The liner notes have comments from the gentleman who mixed it for this version, he describes hearing instruments that were on the original recordings that you couldn't actually hear until now...he's right! Well worth the money....
