Chris Isaak's Heart Shaped World Is a
Mood Masterpiece: Double-Platinum Album Features the Smash "Wicked Game," Brilliant Singing, and Extraordinary Guitar Tones Experience the Brooding 1989 Record in Audiophile Sound: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Superb Clarity, Detail, and Control There was nothing in contemporary music like Chris Isaak's Heart Shaped World when it hit in June 1989. More than three decades later, the singer-songwriter's third album still sounds unique. Home to the Top 10 smash "Wicked Game," the brooding set remains a masterful mood piece that invites you to pour a late-night drink and relish Isaak's elegant albeit raw ruminations on love, relationships, and questionable decisions. For all the melodrama and sadness at hand, Isaak's baritone dives deep underneath emotional surfaces. He mines subtleties that go beyond heartbreak and anguish, and occasionally suggest frustration, menace, and anger. The unhurried contributions of his backing band, anchored by the brilliant playing of guitarist James Calvin Wilsey, seamlessly match his patient deliveries and cool command. Sourced from the original master tapes and housed in mini-LPstyle gatefold packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents Heart Shaped World in audiophile quality. It unearths the staggering inner details, saturated tones, and extraordinary atmospherics of the crisp production. And it brings you up close and personal with Isaak's singing - impeccably controlled, tense, brooding, steamy, smoldering, haunted - situated amidst strippeddown backdrops that allow notes to fully bloom and decay. The record's lonesome temperaments and pensive themes have never been more alluring on disc. As Isaak croons on the title track: "Trouble going down." Indeed.
