Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 25 2004, 17:59 It is a remix. I think that Phil Newell, when mixing it for quad, empasized some parts (i.e. some intstrumental tracks) and de-emphasized others, so that the piece sounded good on quad. I've listened to it on my 5.1 system, and even if 5.1 isn't the same as quad, it sounds great. Much better than the original, IMHO. Maybe Richard C. can tell you something more about it. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I think I'd say that parts were emphasised according to what Phil Newell thought sounded good, rather than any particular consideration for quad, really! It does work nicely though, especially the way he's made the double speed guitar more prominent (the heavy reverb on the part gives it quite a spacey feel, I think). Back to top
