Gold Cd / Numbered Limited Edtion |
| | Description: | Chicago Ii by Chicago, released 18 December 2015, includes the following tracks: "Poem For The People", "Wake Up Sunshine", "Fancy Colours", "Memories Of Love (suite)" and more.
This version of Chicago Ii comes as a 1xSuper Audio. - Chicago Chicago II on Numbered Edition Hybrid SACD. Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Longtime Audiophile Favorite Now Possesses Reference-Caliber Separation, Tonalities, Balance. Chicago shortened it's name on it's second album but altered little else. Improving upon the creative synthesis shown on it's debut, the ensemble ups the ante for pop, rock, and jazz fusion on it's 1970 sophomore set, introducing classical signatures as well as a penchant to delve even deeper into unchartered waters. Ambitious arrangements and brazen interplay remain, yet further addition of multifaceted melodies and seamless syncopation finds the group stepping up it's songwriting. Witness '25 Or 6 To 4' and 'Make Me Smile,' smashes that resonated with the mainstream. Pulling back the curtain on the recordings, this collector's version exponentially expands the soundstaging dimensions, imaging proportions, and dynamic information, allowing the songs to breathe and enjoy a roominess that enhances the stellar performances and interwoven structures. In particular, the harmonic vocals naturally carry and possess lifelike decay, never in competition with but always in sympathy with the telepathic instrumentation. As reflected by the 7-part, 13-minute 'Ballet for a Girl in Buchanan' suite, Chicago II draws from classical as well as traditional rock and jazz influences in presenting an experience that eviscerates 'disparate' when pertaining to musical styles. Paired amidst progressive rhythms, a surfeit of driving horns and gritty R&B vocals again affords the band the privilege of rocking as hard as any of their contemporaries. And yet, due to the collective's diversity and prowess, Chicago also lends poignant sensitivity to ballads such as the prom favorite 'Colour My World.' The septet's command of switching between aggressiveness and intensity, softness and sensuality, defines Chicago II. Such dichotomy is represented in the form of guitarist Terry Kath, a secret weapon whose contributions emerge with newfound energy and emotionalism. Highlighted, too, are the group's forays into thematic lyrics, with the politically barbed 'It Better End Soon' and grim 'Poem for the People' speaking to the record's original dedication that states 'With this album, we dedicate ourselves, our futures and our energies to the people of the revolution. And the revolution in all of it's forms.'On the back of the digisleeve:

Track 1 title is normally listed as 'Movin? In', but this release artwork shows as 'Moving In'"Chicago II" on CD brings one of the most important albums in the Chicago catalog to life with audiophile care. Originally released in 1970, this ambitious, brass-driven rock record blends rock, jazz, and pop into a sophisticated, multi-part work that helped define the band's early sound. The album is packed with complex arrangements, extended suites, and melodic hooks, showcasing Chicago's trademark fusion of powerful horn sections, tight rhythm work, and expressive vocals. Songs move seamlessly from introspective passages to explosive, guitar- and brass-laden climaxes, illustrating why this period of the band is considered a creative peak and a cornerstone of classic rock and jazz-rock fusion. The CD format allows the entire album to be experienced as a coherent journey, as originally intended, with clarity and dynamic punch that emphasize the contrast between its quiet, reflective parts and its thunderous, full-band sections.
This edition is released by MFSL (Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab), a specialist manufacturer renowned in audiophile circles for its high-quality reissues and careful mastering philosophy.

Chicago, formed in the late 1960s, is one of the most successful and enduring American rock bands, especially known for their pioneering use of a full horn section within a rock framework. Across their long career, they have earned multiple hit singles and albums, significant chart success, and a large international fan base. Their early records, including "Chicago II," established their identity as a band unafraid to mix jazz harmonies, rock energy, and pop sensibility, and their sustained popularity over decades has led to numerous awards and broad recognition as one of the defining bands of their era. | | | No. of tracks: |
