Once you RUSH posers get your hands on the new RUSH Vapor Trails remix edition, will it mean the end of the road for your VT 2002 copy? Or will you find yourself sticking with the old one??? Only time will tell of course, but what is your feeling right now based on the two VT song remixes from a while back?

Oh yeah, I remember it well. I also volunteered to make new art for the cover but the guys wanted to stick with that Syme guy.

 

I think I'll be jumping back and forth until I find the right balance. I THINK I'll let the old version of Peaceable Kingdom to rest, but that's just an hypotesis.

I suspect that I'll just to a normal, by ear, comparison on my iPod and on my home theatre system and see which song sounds better each time. I have already retired the original CD to get the HD Tracks Remaster, so I'll be comparing the remix against that.

Every time I do one of these things I'm always stuck for names, even the regulars in my polls slip my mind...it just depends...obviously a fool like rushgoober has to go in on a Vapor Trails poll, he's basically begged for it for 8 years!

I'll wait to see what everyone thinks. I have the HD tracks. Of course you have to dumb it down to lesser quality to actually play it on anything. Even at that its better. Not worth the 20 bucks for me. My guess this one won't be better enough to warrant another 20 but if you dorks convince me it is, I may get it.

The only Apple product you need to dumb it down for is the iPod classic, and even that is better than CD quality.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought converting the flacs to anything really, downgraded the quality. I know they can be converted to AIFF and therefore not "downgraded" but you can only listen on IPODs. By definition anything played on an IPOD is downgraded sound quality I think. You can't burn AIFF or flacs to cds so can't listen to the HD tracks really on anything other than the IPOD. Seems to me that kind of defeats the purpose of the HD track. But i have them. Yeah for me.

Back to back... I want to hear the differences. Which sounds weird. But I love stuff like that - having to focus closely on a track to pick out changes or certain elements I may or may not have heard before.
