citat från sida två
"Guys, I have no problem if people dislike aspects of the remix (one million people would produce 1 million different mixes after all, and the same is true of mastering). However, incorrect assumptions I feel I have to respond to!
There is no compression added to the acoustic guitars on my mix - they were recorded with heavy compression - it's always been there, and might I suggest that you are hearing the "cheap" compression because you can actually hear it for the first time?
I think I opened a can of worms when I quoted my mix notes for just the title track. Unlike on Aqualung there is no EQ added or taken off the piano on the intro of Locomotive Breath. It sounds tonally exactly as it came off tape - I'm not sure what you are hearing, it sounds the same to me except without all the murk and tape hiss. To reiterate; the piano EQ I added on the title track was to match the sound of the piano on the original, not to make it brighter for no reason. What came off tape was considerably duller than both old and new mixes (I'm sure you understand that they did add EQ to instruments when they did the original mix, and didn't just push up the faders!)
I'm not sure the piano on the album is a grand piano at all, do we have this information to hand already? It sounds like an upright to me - if that info is not out there I can check with Ian to see if he remembers. It does sound more characteristic of a bar room upright on the whole album, but I've always quite liked that about it. If you thought my new mix was suddenly going to make it sound like an exquisitely recorded Steinway D then you over-estimate the possibilities of remixing!
Pete's mastering is good - hardly any limiting, a nice tight low end, and I didn't mean to overstate the extra brightness, it's really not extreme and sounds far from harsh to me, just crystal clear, but at the expense of a *little* of the warmth (let's keep some perspective here).
To those people (at least the ones over 30) who think they can hear above 15K, I would be very skeptical of that - try this test:

I haven't found anyone over 30 who can yet, though I'm sure there are a few out there. In fact many can't hear 15K either. See what you can hear....
