LedRush Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I thought they were gonna remix the album, not just remaster it. Hopefully Neil is just being loose with his wording and they remix the songs like they did on Retrospective 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Great news maybe I'll be able to enjoy listening to songs like: One Little Victory, Ceiling Unlimited, Ghost Rider, Vapor Trail, Secret Touch, Earth Shine an Sweet Mircale without cringing due to the dismal mixing and masteing on that album.

Jeffrey Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I love this album and would welcome very much a remastering/remix. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Neil is just being loose with his wording and they remix the songs like they did on Retrospective 3. The article says remixing:"The band had recently been overseeing a remixed version of our Vapor Trails album, from 2002, as we had never been happy with how it turned out. I found that trying to listen to those songs again was too upsetting, taking me back to a mindset and emotional state that hadn’t been good to live through then, or to relive now. I had to “recuse” myself from those judgments, and the Guys at Work understood, of course."They might just be at the Mastering portion of the project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing for sure if this turns out ok, we might be hearing some VT songs live next time out. Hopefully, Vapor Trail and Sweet Miracle since they never played those live. :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I would love to see that happen (add How it Is to the list for me), but if these songs are still too painful for Neil, he may not be excited to rehearse and replay them dozens and dozens of times. [spoiler ALERT although there are only 3 shows left] This probably explains why there aren't any Vapor Trails songs in the current setlist.

And yes, the VT remaster from this iTunes collection sounds MUCH better than before. I got the HD Tracks version and yeah its better overall. No clipping. I can hear more nuance and some distinction in guitars and bass. I think it makes Ged's voice sound tinny though. Not worth the 20 bucks for me. Any re-do of VT by the band would have to be a significant improvment over the HD Tracks or wouldn't be worth it. I suspect they would have to remove at least 9 of Alex's layers on every song to thin it out enough to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
