Orchestral and dreamy (in the sense of seeming like wonderment). Seems like it could be successfully employed on a movie soundtrack.

Tempted to buy the new deluxe edition or wait for The Ramones Rocket to Russia one
Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "Listen, mate, "life" has surface noise."

Same but I've read the packaging is not up to much on the Smiths deluxe for the price. I'll probably just get the album with the extras. RtR is a must though.Dirty Harry wrote: ↑04 Nov 2017, 8:10pm

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
TQID is a bit pricey so might give it a miss . But RtR is a must especially after the first two have been great. I'm guessing every Ramones might be getting this treatment then.Marky Dread wrote: ↑04 Nov 2017, 8:24pmSame but I've read the packaging is not up to much on the Smiths deluxe for the price.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
The demos are worth the price of admission alone, and the packaging is only slightly less pleasing than the Beatles boxes. The discs even come with plastic sleeves to keep them safe in the paper housing. I recommend it.Marky Dread wrote: ↑04 Nov 2017, 8:39pmMaybe and I hope so.

Ah thanks Kory. All the stuff I had read on Amazon put me off a bit.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Yeah, in many cases they're more dry (less reverb, etc), and are missing a few guitar leads. It's interesting to hear them in a more stripped down mode. The bass is certainly more prominent. Notable: TQID is not a demo, it's just the full extended version of the album track..There Is A Light is the first take for the album rather than a demo, so it's the most similar to its album counterpart...there's no demo for Vicar because they wrote it last minute (which pushed Unlovable out of the tracklist).Marky Dread wrote: ↑06 Nov 2017, 1:47pmAh thanks Kory.

As you probably know, there's a live disc too, which is good. The tracklist is similar to the Rank album as it's from the same time period, but the sound quality is good.

No complaints with the music/sound.

Maybe they wanted a better booklet. I will say that part is pretty lacking. The box itself is like a tank, though.Marky Dread wrote: ↑06 Nov 2017, 3:24pmNo complaints with the music/sound.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Years since I listened to this. Never thought it was as good as the hype at the time, but I'm digging this go 'round, even tho it's a fundamentally depressing collection of songs about environmental collapse and the false romance with technology.
