Noen som kan kjøre en Masvis på 2012 remaster skiva "Mr. Blue Sky, The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra" ?
Jeff Lynne uttaler i et intervju:
"
To be released October 9th as Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of ELO, the results are akin to a “super remaster.” Hits like “Evil Woman,” “Don’t Bring Me Down” and “Telephone Line” sound not only remastered in pristine quality, but modernly refreshed with even sleeker production and synth work. For the most part, they just sound better. But why would someone with as much musical creativity as Jeff Lynne want to spend all this time rehashing old songs?“It’s a simple reason, really,” he says. “I used to hear my songs on the radio and they never sounded like I thought they sounded when I first did them. I thought, ‘I must try this.’ So I laid down the track of ‘Mr. Blue Sky,’ starting with a brand new track. I started with a click and went from there. It sounded so much better than the old one, so I thought, ‘I’m gonna do another one.’ I did ‘Evil Woman’ and ‘Strange Magic.’ Talking to my manager, he was saying, ‘Why don’t you just keep going and see how many you can do?’ And I’m really glad I did. I firmly believe these sound much cleaner and fresher, and more clarity.”"
I tillegg uttaler Erlewine i Allmusic Guide:
"........so Mr. Blue Sky simply feels clean and renewed, the familiar contours buffed so they sparkle. Whether this is enough for fans to trade in their original ELO hits album in favor of this crisp new model is simply a matter of taste -- many may prefer the heavily compressed analog originals, as that's what they grew up with"
Så det er ORIGINALENE som er komprimert altså, Mr.Erlewine?
For meg høres det ut som han har lekt seg med ProTools i de nye versjonene og klemt livskiten ut av låtene.....dessverre
