![]() ![]() From the moment you pick up the album, you know it’s different from anything Paradise Lost (or their peers) had attempted before. ![]() It’s hard to quantify the emotions that flow through you when you hear the first few notes of the still-stunning Enchantment. One other thing worth noting is that the album flies solo on this edition, with the bonus tracks found exclusively on the second disc, which is nice for those who like the record to play through without any material tacked on to the end. For whichever version you opt, it’s certainly a handsome package band and label have put together. ![]() ![]() Alternatively, you can go the vinyl route, which includes a download code for the bonus tracks, and which is pressed on a variety of cool colours. Packaged in a hardbacked book, it also features a twenty-four-page inlay, which includes notes from uber-fan Nik Ruskell and rare photographs from the period. So, what do you get with this reissue? Well, for a start, the album has returned to its original Music For Nations home, which offers a twinge of nostalgia. All of this means, of course, that, if you’re a Draconian Times nut, then your home is going to start to look like a Paradise Lost storage depot. Gone is the 5.1 mix from the Legacy Edition (although the stereo mix is retained and remastered), while the bonus disc features aspects of both releases, without fully replicating either. It’s a shame, therefore, that this twenty-fifth anniversary edition (damn, I’m old) has gone and done it again. We noted, at its time of release that, although an impressive celebration of the album thanks to a 5.1 mix and various bonus cuts, it was slightly frustrating that tracks from the 1995 Commemorative Tour Pack were defiantly absent. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been nine years since Draconian Times was reissued as a Legacy Edition via Sony Music. ![]()
