New Can reissues...
...any thoughts? Are they like the older batch?
The new Can discs sound sufficiently odd so as to make such a diagnosis somewhat difficult. That said, given how hissy the old discs were, the new ones (Ege Bamyasi in particular) have a suspiciously low-level of hiss, and there seems to be a bit of "pumping" going on in some instruments. It's hard to say exactly, though. There's certainly a "sustained" level of hiss going on in the background of the quiet parts of "Soup," for example.
They could've just found much better sources, or the could've used some mild NR.

Supposedly (as in, someoen here told me) the Spoon remasters from back when were from the original masters . So finding a better source would seem problematic, if that's true.

Yes indeedy. In fact, I doubt the Can albums generated that many copy tapes to accidentally use...
The newer issues just sound so odd compared with the old ones. They're not awful--they're certainly listenable--but I wasn't expecting this kind of extreme departure.
