Yes! :-) Have you had a chance to listen to the remasters, Stu? I had missed the "mumbled poem" until the remastered version of "Over The Wall" came out -- went back & listened to the regular CD and it's there, but down in the mix. So if there really is an Ode By Les, I wonder if those who did the remastering were able to catch the words to the poem? If it was on a separate track and it wasn't completely mumbled..... Howzabout "Will Pete and I don't get the recognition we deserve....." repeated over and over again ;-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 12:05:44 -0600 From: "Martha or Kristin Smith" Subject: Re: seven-seas Limited Uk dates for anniversary tour > And I don't think they have gotten as big as Mac > would have liked, or feels they deserved. > > they aren't going to see *that* kind > of glory -- it belongs to the youth and has since rock > and roll began. > Yeah. And, unfortunately, brilliance does not ensure fame. An artist must fit in with the temper of his times -- the zeitgeist. The Bunnymen, to their eternal credit, swam against the current. I love that quote about how "somebody had to fly the flag of taste with some dignity" and the Bunnymen did and never sold out.

I'd really like to sit and study a longhand step-by-step guide as to the remastering process (remember that post I copied ref: the Hail To The Thief internet tracks Vs actual release ?), as there are a thousand and one definitions/variations of the term. You could say that the LIPA album was remastered from the original recordings before it got released ( as are most live albums these days ). And I'm not saying that this is either a positive or a negative thing.... I'd gladly pay 40 quid for a set of discs and a 100+ page book outlining each track (difference and corresponding thought process behind it etc etc ) in detail... I'd even forgo some of the extra tracks for this too.. Wierd enough Peter ? ;-) Stu Amy Moseley Rupp wrote: > Somebody call ??

I'd be willing to ghostwrite it if I ever got so lucky as to talk to any of the engineers/producers. :-) A question I've asked elsewhere but no answer: if you had to pick a song or five off _HUH_ to put on a "Greatest Hits" compilation, a shortish one the way STLAS was, would you pick "A Promise" or another song? I've been intending to write up some of the changes I hear, in great gory detail, and if I do, I will send the result to you, Stu ;-) One thing is that Will's guitars sound Joy Division-esque on _HUH - "A Means To An End" sort of sound -- lots of open ringing single notes. And there's one track on Porcupine that features our Ian's vocals sounding more detached, like Mr Curtis' - -- it's the one with the marimba, and the name is escaping me! ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #949 ********************************
