I'm in love with _Porcupine_ at the moment, and especially the song "Clay." But I think _HUH_ is the most "improved" (sonically, not musically) of the remasters. I'm discovering new stuff, new nuances when I listen; sometimes I won't be paying complete attention and something will jus grab my ear that hadn't before. > They're so damn good.

Yeah, _OR_ was lightyears ahead of everything else, but now _HUH_ has pulled nearly even, and _Porcupine_ is moving up fast on the inside ;-) The Grey Album can't be much helped, though...... the songwriting just isn't there, and Mac's vocals just aren't enthusiastic. Speaking of Uncut, did you see their review of the remasters? It was good enough *except* the reviewer had the nerve to say that _OR_ was the start of the decline of the group.... he gave Crocodiles 4 stars, HUH and Porcupine 5, and OR 3!!!!!!! (I believe The Grey Album got two.) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2003 14:45:58 -0000 From: "shaz" Subject: Re: seven-seas OT Raj :-o I'd be pissed off too Raj!!

I'd be interested in hearing more specific responses like Peter's below. I'd love to know the specific areas where people are hearing new things & their reaction /the resulting overall effect(s) of such "new" sounds. I need to listen a bit more before I'm sure about what changes from the originals that I think I'm hearing, but will be sure to share this with you when I get clear on it. Hope you all are having graceful holiday days, - -Ted on 12/27/03 1:39 AM, Peter Burnand at peter_burnand@hotmail.com wrote: > Just starting to give them a proper listening to (now I'm back at work...). > Wasn't quite sure about Porcupine at first because it was so different but I > think it's amazing now.
