But Seriously, When Will We Get A Decent Mix?
The Take A Look At Me Now campaign turned out to be somewhat underwhelming, for me at least. The quality of the "extras" on each disc was variable and the albums didn't sound any different to the original mixes...with one exception.
...But Seriously. It was totally brickwalled for some reason, which means that everything just sounds loud and all sense of subtlety and dynamics have been lost. I've looked for alternative versions of the original mix - the German pressing seems to be very popular with audiophiles - but it seems a little quiet for my tastes. And Steve Hoffman's audio fidelity remix is no great shakes either.
I really hope that another release of this album is on the horizon, one that isn't quite s heavy-handed with the compression. Maybe now that everyone is jumping on the Dolby Atmos bandwagon we can get a multi-channel remix...
