Quote (Matt @ Jan. 18 2010, 17:41) | As I've said before, I prefer the boxed remix myself. Various bits of the original remix I find too "in my face" compared to the remixes subtleties, though I agree other bits of the original mix sound fuller. Deep down I still feel (hope) there might be an even better remix in there somewhere that combines the best of both. Fingers crossed....
Regardless of whether there are any new mixes, the re-release should at the very least have the original mix and the boxed remix! |
Matt I have to agree with you for the most part.I`ve always prefered the boxed mix of Hergest Ridge,although I dare say it may well have been a different story had I become familiar with the original mix first.Personaly what I would like to see would be a double disc set with the original mix getting it`s first cd release at long last for the many fans who have requested it over the years.Plus a new mix/remaster from Mike which I would surmise would be more in line with the boxed mix anyway.Idealy I guess you would have all three like you say,but at least we do have the boxed version anyway.Obviously because Mike has never really been happy with Hergest Ridge,there`s probably a good chance that that will be the work that he`ll change the most.So I don`t know?If Mike does`nt decide to allow the original mix to be released this time round.Then we could well end up with a situation where nobody is happy.I guess we`ll see when the time comes around,although I would be curious to hear a new mix of it I must admit.
