This is kind of a stupid thread. How can we know the answer to this question until it actually comes out?

New around here?

 

Not hardly. I guess I should know better.

:D

He'll yeah! Specially after hearing it off the RS site! I have a new appreciation for many songs I couldn't get into prior because of the mix. Songs like Ceiling Unlimited, Peaceable Kingdom, Stars Look Down, How it Is and Freeze! Now I truly, want to hear the Fear Quadrilogy played live! Edited by losingit2k

Now that I have the remix, I can say yes! I can't see that I'll want to listen to the original any more, and the remix is already a favourite. I think I'll retire the 2002 version with honours. :yes:

Yes, I will most definitely trade out the bad copy with the good copy. ;)

 

What I will do to the original Vapor Trails disk:

  1. Throw it down onto the hard concrete outside
  2. Pour a crap load of lighter fluid on the damned thing
  3. Light it up!!!
  4. Go back inside
  5. Pop that fresh, new remix CD in the player
  6. Jam out
  7. :haz:

Since I got the CD on Friday I played the shit out of the album. I listened to it on my system in the living room, in my mini studio, on my headphones and on the walkman. It's fantastic and there's no way that I can ever go back to the 2002 release. This remix rocks endlessly. :outtahere:

The remix is definitely replacing the 2002 original - on my iTunes, on my iPod, and in my car's CD player. The original is dead to me!

 

When I was burning the CD to iTunes, it wanted to label all the songs "One Little Victory (Remix)," "Ceiling Unlimited (Remix)," etc. I changed the title of each, deleting "remix" from the titles. As far as I'm concerned these ARE the songs now, as they should've been from the beginning.

Well since I don't have my own post option, I will say that, yes, I've ditched my old copy of VT for the remix. I am making sweet luvins to this remix. It is fantastic.

Is there no Janie option? Hmmm that must have been when you were TRF AWOL. I never thought you'd see this poll! ;)

I've discovered that "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" is a good "test album" for sound quality. My vinyl still trumps the CD version which is missing some music in some of the songs.

I heard the same thing about Steely Dan albums being superior in sound and great for testing your new stereo equipment.. Maybe so but I doubt could make it through a entire Steely Dan album.. :zzz:

I won't get rid of the original cd and vinyl, but I'll never play them again. Ever.

 

Playing the remix again. God, it's a fricking treasure trove of aural delights. Haken, Maschine, Arctic Monkeys & the new Big Big Train EP will have to wait.

Yes I'll be keeping the album it'll just be retired. It served it's purpose.
