I just compared the 1988 cd version of the song "Control" with the 1994 cd version and the 1994 version is a full semitone higher! that's running at around 2.5% faster. for those with guitars..... Eb tuning 1988, E tuning 1994..... is the entire cd running too fast or is it just that song?<br /><br />this is just sloppy re-mastering.J.B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18523249.post-89144409164726170522011-02-07T23:35:09.166-08:002011-02-07T23:35:09.166-08:00thats funny. i got scum on tape in 91 and loved i...thats funny. i got scum on tape in 91 and loved it. my buddy keith got the cd in 94 with the yellow cover(my tape was purple) and I remember listening to the cd and when control came on i said at the 25-30 second mark, due this shits sped up!! you hear that!?!?! im glad im not the only one who noticed it!diamonddavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475755378165056474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18523249.post-50522952362962480422009-05-28T12:48:11.536-07:002009-05-28T12:48:11.536-07:00There is "truth in audio" but there is also "truth...There is "truth in audio" but there is also "truth in expression". Earache did the right thing by staying true to the original sound. That sound is what made the album classic, even if it's technically flawed. Too many of these modern-day remasters change the sound into grotesque, 'roided-up facsimiles of their original sources. It's a bit like plastic surgery.Invisible Orangeshttp://invisibleoranges.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18523249.post-22212546671440485952009-05-27T18:56:16.375-07:002009-05-27T18:56:16.375-07:00The other thing that I would add to the above is t...The other thing that I would add to the above is that the audience for a deluxe Morbid Angel remaster edition is likely to the be the kind of fan that already owns the original and would be curious as to what it <I>could</I> sound like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18523249.post-63410983916117842272009-05-27T13:14:08.135-07:002009-05-27T13:14:08.135-07:00I didn't read the message of the first guy!

It could be an extra cd like the one that had the "heartwork" demos on the carcass re-issue. Deep Purple did this for MAchine Head (well the second album on that re-release was actually remixed but you get the point).<br /><br />Can't wait for "Blessed Are The Sick" Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18523249.post-15842021866765077902009-05-27T06:53:36.502-07:002009-05-27T06:53:36.502-07:00A marketing opportunity lost?

As a music fan, the closer you can get to what the musicians heard/intended when they were recording the music the better. If you thought the difference was too jarring for your average MA fan, you could have added it as bonus disc. I'm sure Mobile Fidelity isn't making money hand-over-fistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
