Agreed completely. The pre-Trevorised tracks sound way more alive and interesting than what was finaly released. In the few years leading up to TB2 Mike talked of recording parts 3 and 4 of TB using the same acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments as the first. (I still think this is an amzing idea and certainly artisticaly interesting. It may yet remain the one great recording he never did.) Not doing a rehash like what happened. Thats one of the reasons I was so disapointed with TB2, I was expecting something different. I also agree completely about it being over quantizized, it sounds like its had all the life and spontinaity squeezed out of it, as well as at times sounding like a Walt Disney production. What's interesting about listening to TB2 now is how dated it sounds already, those synth sounds place it well and truely in the early 90's. Where as the original still sounds utterly timeless. This is where I worry about the rerecording, I think its hard to view it as anything other than a 30th aniversary novelty. I'm not a fan of the idea I must admit. But we'll see.
By the way we still have no word on who, if anybody, Mike is working with. Is Tom Newman on board, does anybody know.
