Second Toughest in the Infants

[bryantm3]

i don't know, after all the bad experience i've had with "remasters" and "remixes" (you know, the entire record is re-mixed from the multitrack tapes into stereo and 5.1), i would hate to see that done to an UW album.
i guess a remaster would be OK, but to me a re-mix is probably not a good idea at all.

on another note, do any of y'all have the album on vinyl? it sounds more bassy to me, but it's probably because i have a subwoofer.

Check out the remasters of all Depeche Mode's back catalogue if you want to know how good they can sound if done properly......the DTS mix of Violator is awesome.

The UW sound is made for a 'spacial' mix

if you want it louder... do you not have a volume knob on your hifi?

This is true. The same as with STITI is if anyone has the original CD of Black Celebration can note. It too lacked in volume and bass.

The Remaster of Black Celebration to date is my favourite Remastered album. STITI will be up there too if it ever gets a good Remastering.

As for dubno - I'm totally satisfied with the mixing of the album at it's present state. If it were to be remastered, would I buy it? Of course, but only for the extra's!
