Does anybody have or made a mix along the lines of that? Or another mix someway similar? -------------- Hmm... Back to top

Incantations Group: Members Posts: 157 Joined: May 2010 Posted: July 22 2010, 03:54 Well I am referring to a fan made mix combining the best parts of each mix to one 'super mix'. However I think a Hergest Ridge 2 would be a nice change (from TB), there is no way it could be as good as the original though. And it would be better to have a completely original album but thats obvious. -------------- Hmm... Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: July 22 2010, 18:22 @ Jules: no, you're not. My ideal mix would be something like this, with dates indicating mixes (i.e. 1974 = original mix, 1976 = Boxed mix, 2010 = that's obvious, ain't it? ) Part 1: from 0:00 to 12:12 - 1974; from 12:12 to 15:26 = 2010; after that, lead guitar fading back into 1974 until the end of Part 1. Part 2: From 0:00 to 3:14 - 2010; from 3:14 to 9:41 - 1976; from 9:41 to 15:36 - 2010, with the nutcracker from 1974 ; from 15:36 to the end, back to 1976, although I must admit that 2010 is clearer. I've not actually made this mix because I've no idea how to. Maybe someone in here can? That would be my ultimate HR mix. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

CJJC Group: Members Posts: 210 Joined: Aug. 2010 Posted: Aug. 27 2010, 14:34 You want the 12:12 from 2010? It doesn't rub me up as badly as some others on here but that still seems a bold choice. That's quite a straightforward mix. I think if I were to muck about with one it would chop and change massively between the versions. That and I'd begin with 1976 but with a fade in (I've never got used to the out of time sloppy bass playing and the little twin guitar fanfare etc). -------------- IMHO Back to top
