Hmmmm, I wasn't very impressed with orchestral TB but maybe a remix would help with that! Quote IDunno how a remix would improve Amarok.It's damn near perfect as far as i'm concerned.Might be interesting to peel away some of the layers of music to discover what lies beneath i guess. As regards Amarok, I suspect there are a number of people who would like a remix that removed a certain voiceover near the end, me I'd be quite happy to keep that. I think a 5.1 mix of Amarok could be fantastic and possibly improve upon the original listening experience if done well hence my response   -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: May 01 2009, 13:57 Hergest Ridge! A better one than the two available mixes. If the multitrack tapes still exist I think they could do wonders with modern technology, bringing us a mix free of distortion, over-saturation and noise. From Ommadawn and on, the production and mixing is so good that it doesn't need re-mixing. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

ex member 419 Group: Members Posts: 1177 Joined: April 2008 Posted: May 03 2009, 02:41 my pick is hergest ridge, but whatever is  released i will play it on the quad system i have had since the 80s, it will sound sick 5.1 or not! deb Back to top

I don't know what it is to be honest. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

smillsoid Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Dec. 2008 Posted: May 05 2009, 21:32 I really think a 5.1 remix of Hergest Ridge would sound heavenly.  Of all Mike's albums, this is the one I feel most 'immersed' in when I'm listening to it. -------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/simonjmills Back to top

smillsoid Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Dec. 2008 Posted: May 06 2009, 15:04 When they're done well (in films or with albums),  5.1 mixes can literally surround you - or even fill you - with sound. It's like hearing the music/soundtrack in your head.  It makes for a much more 'subjective' experience. -------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/simonjmills Back to top

ex member 419 Group: Members Posts: 1177 Joined: April 2008 Posted: May 07 2009, 23:30 I may have to update my stereo to appreciate the sound quality, looking forward to the remixes, deb Back to top
