Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
Ain't it? This new round of remasters has been nothing short of superb. I openly admit to having tin ears and can rarely detect stuff that amazes or appalls people, but the care and attention that Pepper, the White Album, and Abbey Road have received makes a person fall in love with the music all over again.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
For me, it's more an uninformed expectation that there can't be much more room for the music to sound better. Those remasters from a decade ago sounded fantastic to me, so these new editions surprise by how much better yet they sound.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Oct 2019, 3:29pmAll brilliant but in reality we shouldn't expect anything less than excellent.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Oct 2019, 1:39pmAin't it?

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
Better technology improves all the time. Much money time and effort and the best studio and production facilities. They simply have to be great. When I can improve sound with my meagre set up then something for The Beatles no less than excellent will do.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Oct 2019, 4:46pmFor me, it's more an uninformed expectation that there can't be much more room for the music to sound better.

Ok it might be me being kind of fucked up so maybe Im not expressing myslef properly at this point but do some of these technological advances make some music sound better than the artist originally planned/imagined or ever heard themselves.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
I suspect that's true inasmuch as they heard the mixes and all that based on the quality of the technology at the time, which was inferior to what we have now. Maybe weirdos like Brian Wilson could hear something absolutely pristine and distinct in his head, and was frustrated that the technology couldn't capture it, but the sound quality now is so much better than what those musicians and producers would have had when recording and mixing and evaluating the results.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
Yes all this is true and of course you mentioned Brian Wilson who was a perfectionist and had a clear vision of the sound he wanted to create. There have been some brilliant producers down the years. Some like Bill Price who understood what the band needed and then guys like Trevor Horn who understood totally how to mix sound layer upon layer with great clarity. FGtH would've been crap without his genius.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Oct 2019, 6:11pmI suspect that's true inasmuch as they heard the mixes and all that based on the quality of the technology at the time, which was inferior to what we have now.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
The remasters from a decade ago were just that though, "remasters." They have been remixed this time, there is a big difference between the two.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Oct 2019, 4:46pmFor me, it's more an uninformed expectation that there can't be much more room for the music to sound better.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Very true.
