Mix Group: Members Posts: 123 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Dec. 05 2009, 14:00 Sure I get what you mean, I was just joking about the OT subject...   And yes, definitely, I would welcome new mix of Hergest Ridge, and I hope the February deadline turns out to be true. BUT, most of all I would of course like to see completely new material come out of the oven, as I believe would everyone else. Maybe these revisits to the old works like HR and Ommadawn can boost Mike's motivation in that respect. Here's hoping... Back to top

Ghostmojo Group: Members Posts: 94 Joined: Mar. 2009 Posted: Jan. 03 2010, 18:03 I am so looking forward to seeing Hergest Ridge given a dusting down and a re-release worthy of its brilliance. Although always knocked out by its predecessor, there is something quite unique about HR and I am also one of those that infinitely prefered the original mix. Hopefully, a decent deluxe package will include both main mixes - to satisy both factions but also for comparison's sake. This should have happened five or six years ago IMHO but it's never too late ... -------------- " ... if you feel a little glum - to Hergest Ridge you should come ... " Back to top

familyjules Group: Members Posts: 1190 Joined: May 2004 Posted: May 27 2010, 05:41 I'm really looking forward to hearing the Hergest Ridge remix.  Historically I'm one of the few who prefers the Boxed remix - I particularly like the stripped down sound on Part One which highlights the 'walking' motif's guitar and bass, and also the more prominent vocals in Part Two. I'm hoping that the new remix will surpass both previous mixes and manage to please all of us.  Well, you can hope!   Nice to be back. Love to all, Jules -------------- I like beer and I like cheese Back to top

Navaira Group: Members Posts: 481 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: June 07 2010, 07:41 Yes, Spotify is fully legal. I have both reissues now (15 euro each, Fame store, Amsterdam). Ommadawn booklet is GORGEOUS. Haven't gotten to HR yet. The 2010 mix of Ommadawn sounds equally gorgeous.

It really does. Actually considering Mike's problems with the original mix of HR, it's amazing how much of it has been reinstated for the 2010 mix (although 1000 Guitars is more like the Boxed version, just really beefed up). In further curiosity news, I'm listening to the demo version on disc 2 and in structure it seems much more like the Boxed mix which lends credibility to the idea that this was really the album Mike wanted to make but felt he had to add a lot of stuff for commercial acceptance. All this means is that I won't be able to bequeath my CD of the boxed mix to anyone as I like having that one too and the sound of it is not really represented on the new release. Nice to have multiple versions of the same album to fit with what mood you're in. Also, I'm pretty sure this is my first post. If so: hello! Back to top

BEAUTIFUL I have to say that I couldn't agree less.  It's an interesting curiosity but nothing much more than that. I'm also unsure about the 2010 Ommadawn remix.  Most of it is little changed, but none of the more obvious differences are improvements in my book.  Except for perhaps the girls' vocals being more prominent.  The trumpet almost drowns out the lead guitar at the end of part one, which is just not right! Still, that's the beauty of the deluxe edition - you get old, new, 'lost' and bonuses.  You can't lose! Jules -------------- I like beer and I like cheese Back to top

Jules Deluxe editions? Lost Ommadawns? I've been out of the loop for ages - is this something I should know about? Has he finally released Hergular Dawn? Just fancy being able to reply to a post by Jules, after all this time. Brilliant. (I said more about the brilliance of it in the 'autistic' thread.) Back to top

whetstone Group: Members Posts: 8 Joined: May 2009 Posted: June 07 2010, 17:35 Got my new deluxe editions today - only had time to listen to Hergest Ridge but I am just loving it.  Mike has found new textures in the 2010 remix and there are some instruments taking prominence which were barely audible or mixed out of both the 74 and Boxed versions.  I really like the ending section of Part 1.  HR and Ommadawn are woven into the texture of my soul and I was worried these releases may have detracted from the 'preciousness' but on the evidence of HR 2010 it has been like meeting up with an old friend and finding the magic still there.  Can't wait to get my ears around the Ommadawn discs now!

Cudsie Group: Members Posts: 48 Joined: Mar. 2010 Posted: June 08 2010, 01:50 Well I'm not really sure what to make of this... Part One starts great but then seems to become rather badly mixed! well to my ears at any rate. I think he has over-emphasised some bits to the detriment of the whole balance of the piece. In fact it sounds damn right amateurish! Part Two is better but it seems to lack the overall pastoral quality it had in both the '74 and '76 mixes...until the Martian Thunderstorm which does sound amazing on this new remix. I think we all hoped he would take the best bits of both the '74 mix and the '76 mix to create one great masterpiece but instead he seems to have decided to give us yet another interpretation which to my ears still isn't right. I've yet to hear the surround mix but I'm not holding my breath - Mike doesn't do subtle when it comes to surround :-/ Wonderful to hear Maureen's In Dulci Jubilo in full hi-fi at last...tho its odd that they keep mentioning it in the book as the "B-side to a single" without telling us that it was Don Alfonso! "Spanish Tune" is a complete waste of space it really is just simply an edit from part 2. The demo's are a fabulous curates egg! Back to top
