I think the main reason I dislike the bass sound is that it just seems distracting in an odd way, and also it sounds like Mike's trying to sound modern and trendy again just for the shear sake of it. One of the joy's of TB, indeed a joy of a lot of Mike's music, is that it's a great celebration of acoustic and electro-acoustic instrumentation working in incredible harmony, TB, Amarok and Ommadawn in particular represent Mike at the height of his powers in this respect. Putting modern synths, which may well have their place on other albums, on TB just seems to go against the grain of one of the reasons of why it's successfull in the first place, it's strange it's creator seems to be apparently unaware of this. I'm worried this album will just sound more like a re-recording of TB2 than of TB, indeed a friend of mine listened to that excerpt from the website and told me it reminded him more of TB2 than it did of TB, obviously not in the way the music goes but with the sounds being used.
