Mr Caveman...
I agree with you, nothing has been added. But you must admit that from 12:12 of part 1, it is quite different! You say "inaudible". I agree....really inaudible on the 1974 mix.
("inaudible" is the same word as in French...funny! |
I beg to differ, there are are some bass drum and cymbal hits in the 'thunderstorm' section that sound new and I reckon, that the acoustic guitar in the trumpet/clarinet section on part one is a current day re-recording. I might be wrong but I thought the original was a steel strung acoustic but is now a classical guitar. The playing and recording quality also sounds like modern-day Mike. What do you all think?
At first a lot of stuff in the 2010 mix really jarred with me but like much of Mike's work it makes more sense with every listen. There are a couple of changes I was hoping for that have been made; the fade at the start of part 1 and the increased volume of the 'thunderstorm' section. I could never understand why that was so quiet originally. Good to see the tubular bells have retained there 'balls' this time round too.
