But ESP and High Civilisation are still not there and of course neither is "The Warner Years". Kilburn Towers Back to top

Vocals sound crisper and more to the fore, as does the lead guitar. I think there's a doubling up on the vocals. BUT it all goes horribly wrong in the coda when Barry's falsetto line is quite a bit late. Somehow the remixer has managed to paste in that track several milli-seconds late. It sounds terrible and I can't believe it got released like that. Such a shame.... Kilburn Towers Back to top

The "problem" with "remixes" is that those of us so familiar with the original intent of the artist, are, when faced with a remix, at the mercy of the personal preferences of the person whose hands are on the controls... ;-) Dan Sent from my iPhone > On 10 Feb 2017, at 20:18, Robin Setty wrote: > > The remix is really good......up to a point..... > > Vocals sound crisper and more to the fore, as does the lead guitar.
