This episode is all foreplay.

(Not that I'm knocking foreplay. I love this podcast)

Well I don't know about the other guys, but I had to get (most of) the negativity out before we got to disc two..

Not that it doesn't have its own issues, but nothing like disc one.

Have to agree - Disc 1 is louder rather than clearer, there are still muddy sounding instruments.

.

Disc 3 has a lot of un necessary tracks, why do we need edit versions followed by extended. It could have easily have had Modernaire and Sex Shooter on it instead (Mainly as I have Ice Cream Castle on CD and not so worried about the Time).

.

Especially as most Disc 3 edits were also on 4ever or the Hits/Bsides and Ultimate.

.

I loved the packaging and concept though, and can't wait for review of Disc 2. I anticipate Captain calling "We can fuck" just a song and also no need to use the foul language in the title.

I do not always agree with Captin but I can't agree more on the poor sound of disc 1. I am repeating myself but it is so so bad. Lesser (but great) artists like Peter Gabriel have incredible sounding reissues. This is just terrible.

Having said that, I do like disc 3's sound. I have never heard the Love Theme sound this good.

You do have to use good speakers.

Some of you involved in the podcast seem to confused about the definition of "a remaster".

Remasters are typically done using just the stereo downmixes of the multitracks. You can go "further back" than that and use the original multitrack reels as the sources, of course, but it's not a requirement for something to qualify as "a remaster".

To hear Josh's massacre in full detail?

That outro was excellent. Like a 100:1 ratio.
Or rather, 101:1.

planning to record later this week.. stay tuned

C A N N O T W A I T to hear Peach and Black get busy with my favourite Prince song ever - the Hallway Speech version of Computer Blue. Getting all crossed-eyed even thinking about it!

Sheesh - how sad am I?!

Why do I feel like we've been dumped in the trash can in the corner of the room?
