Postby Xenu » Sat Jun 25, 2005 1:55 am

...any thoughts? Are they like the older batch?

Right, but those are the OLD batch of remasters. I'm talking about Landed, Unlimited Edition, Future Days, and Soon over Babaluma. Credits are the same, but...

Sorry -- I just fished out the topic link without even checking to see that you were part of it... :oops:

The prognosticator in me sez this batch was boosted & NR'd just like the first batch.

I think I've just committed the heresy of hearsay...

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.

If you saw the .wavs, you'd know why. They look extremely departed compraed to the older issues.
