DanS Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I really hope there's going to be surround mixes as well. It's a damned shame that DSOTM is the only offering they have in this format at present. Re-mastered versions... ..I can just turn my own volume up. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

CrimsonianKing Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Even though this is nice, they released a boxset "oh, by the way" less than 5 years ago.

Joe Muscara Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Not even close if they don't merchandise every possible aspect. Stuffed "Animals," DSOTM prisms, The Wall with bricks you can knock out, etc. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The word "re-mastered" makes me cringe C'mon. Don't tell me you haven't heard some great remasters. The stuff they just did for the Stones (like Exile on Main Street) sounds about a trillion times better than the original, and that doesn't just mean "louder = better". The Who's Quadrophenia also benefitted greatly from the remaster. That having been said, I was always told not to fix what wasn't broken.

Bridog6996 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Of course, some re-masters do improve the original, but they're definitely the "exception that proves the rule." If they're going to be providing surround-sound mixes, I can get on board with that. The previous batch of re-mastered Floyd albums sounded like garbage though. The original pressings of their classic work sound gorgeous. I have them on vinyl. No need to tamper with them in my opinion except to squash them to holy hell to keep them "up to date" volume-wise.

OB Dave Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Four words: Let It Be Naked What an unlistenable piece of crap that was. Personally I thought the Phil Spector version was just fine as-is and nothing needed "fixing." They quantized it to death and successfully managed to suck every last ounce of charm out of that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana. Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Actually, I really enjoyed having the opportunity to hear "The Long And Winding Road" without the slather of Spectorisms that strangle the intimacy out of the lyric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana. Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Also, the band hated what Spector did, so I think that justifies the Naked version's existence. There's a fine line between enhancing a song and turning it into 1001 Strings Play the Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonianKing Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Actually, I really enjoyed having the opportunity to hear "The Long And Winding Road" without the slather of Spectorisms that strangle the intimacy out of the lyric. Same here. Even though i like the original version better, the way i see it it's a different album that contains the same songs with a different perspective.

I also like the stripped down across the universe. One more....the version of "I've got a feeling" is grittier, which in this case is a good thing.

richwhite9 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 A) Outtakes and demos rarely surpass the released versions. B) They are of more interest as an insight into the creative process. C) Most remasters I've heard are as good as it's going to get on CD. Floyd's thing sounds like excess. we don't need your adulation....we don't need your starry gaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealvicz Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Roger Waters joined by Dave Gilmour and later Nick Mason during Waters Wall concert at the O2 arena in London last night. The Crowd went wild, as you would expect what a moment ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTHX6VsU2ZA "Just a tad more attack on the filter, Grandad!"
