Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
First impressions of this are that it's definitely sounding pretty different from the original releases, I think AT has done a nice job and it's a good thing he didn't try to recreate the original sound. The mastering is a lot more clear and crisp, and a lot less distorted than on the originals. You can hear a lot more detail in certain tracks. Ron Murphy definitely played his part in turning these tracks into dancefloor destroyers. For a fan it definitely has to be heard, just because you can really hear a distinctly different take on the music you thought you knew so well. Anyone else got it yet?

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
I have the CD atm and just waiting on the vinyl to be delivered. I haven't had a good chance to _really_ listen to the tracks, but from my quick listen, the mastering is real good trying to find the right word, but definitely adds 'brightness' to the tracks... definitely as you say, crisp. - Patrick.

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
My copy arrived today, so I plan on doing an extensive comparison this weekend. While I had initially planned on passing on this set of reissues, I have to tip my hat to clone, by releasing it at the end of the year I had some spare xmas money to throw their way. I'm sure I'll continue to take the originals to play out and will leave the fancy comp for home listening / playing ala the shake reissues. Which I'm sure is the exact opposite of what others do, but then again I'm the oddball still playing wax to begin with. Have a happy new year folks! May the next 366 give you more tunes to jam out to and then argue about later! jw On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 1:54 PM, Patrick Wacher pwac...@gmail.com wrote: I have the CD atm and just waiting on the vinyl to be delivered.

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
I know Alden has done alot of mastering for a bunch of Clone releases and obviously his own works, and IMO, they have always sounded great. I would hazard a guess that he is a Drexciya fan and would have treated the project with the respect it deserves. My copy is likely flying across the Atlantic now, but as with you all, very keen to see what he has done with them! - P.

all re-mastered - A quick question. Does remastering actually man its going to sound better.

I believe there is one unreleased track on this comp though, right?

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
well, mastering is meant to have it sound better :-) but it's always personal judgement if it does of course and can depend on which system the music is played after (home headphones vs 100k stadium) Op 7-12-2011 10:45, Placid schreef: all re-mastered - A quick question.

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
As Marsel says, it'll depend on what Alden Tyrell has done in his mastering process, and if it's to your taste. Mastering techniques have definitely come a long way since some of this stuff was released originally but not everyone will agree that they've got better. He's normally a really good engineer though and the clips sound great to me. One thing that might be interesting is that remastering everything in one session from the original tapes might give the tracks a more consistent sound. I don't know for sure but I'd imagine that because a lot of them were released on different labels, most of these 12s were mastered by different engineers at different cutting sessions and that as a result all the records sound a bit different, well at least to my ears, they do. 07 UNKNOWN JOURNEY is definitely something I've never heard before or seen on any original releases.

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
Great point about the mastering perhaps giving a more consistent quality, Emile... I hadn't been so interested in actually listening to the comp, since I know it all already, until you guys reminded me about the remastering...It'll be interesting to hear how esp. certain tracks might sound better/different -- Wavejumper The Countdown Has Begun come to mind off the top of my head, the 909 in the originals is so punchy and I think that record is kinda crusty, in a good way and in a bad way... I think some stuff could really benefit in some ways but maybe others might lose some specialness, even if they sound technically better, I'm pretty curious now...Especially I think where Ron Murphy was involved, it'll be interesting to hear the difference because it's bound to be pretty different...Everything he mastered (like Wavejumper/UR-030) had his touch, a bit of wildness that fit the music so well..On the other hand, it wasn't always a 100% success...;) jt On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 5:29 AM, Emile Facey em...@bleep43.com wrote: As Marsel says, it'll depend on what Alden Tyrell has done in his mastering process, and if it's to your taste.

As long as Alden doesn't remaster it all Black box / Italo style, it should be good On Dec 7, 2011 3:43 PM, JT Stewart etmach...@gmail.com wrote: Great point about the mastering perhaps giving a more consistent quality, Emile...
