Customer Reviews

All the energy squashed from the original - STEREO MIX REVIEW
For a review of the music itself, refer to the original version's reviews.

This issue comes in both 5.1 surround, as well as a new stereo remix.

The stereo mix is a complete waste of time, given that the original was so perfect, and really required no stereo remix at all. In fact, the new mix is way inferior, being compressed to death, to the point that it is void of the terrific energy of the original. The previously big Collins drum sound has now had the guts completely squashed out of it.

A few of the old distant atmosperic sounds have also been brought right to the fore, losing any hope of subtlety.

Why anyone would prefer this mix to the original is completely beyond me. Unless you have a surround system, you should avoid this appallingly narrow ipod-friendly mix, and go for the much bigger, more dynamic audiophile original.

Nick Davis used to be a great engineer... what happened?
Nick Davis has done amazing work in the past. Actually, ALL of his work up until these Genesis remixes was excellent! Has he lost his touch? Why do these Genesis sets sound so harsh? I wonder what Nick's reasoning for this is? Does he even realize this work is much worse than what he's capable of? He's a world class engineer so why did he make so many newbie mistakes with these Genesis remixes? Too much EQ? Really? That's what interns do when they're learning how to mix.

It's not the compression that makes these remixes bad, it's all the console EQ that was added that makes them sound shrill and hollow. Lots of top and bottom end boosting going on. I know that sound well from my early days of learning how to mix (on this same SSL console I might add). I was trying to make everything as punchy and aggressive as I could and my mixes came out sounding just like these Genesis remixes. When you have that much EQ on EVERYTHING things are going to sound a bit off.

Those SSL EQs have a very distinct sound to them, so do the compressors on the channel strips. Nick Davis just wanted these things to jump out at you and in the process he over-did everything. I think he was simply trying too hard to impress everyone with brute force and not sound quality. If you dig it, good for you. I can heard the EQs ringing and that really bothers me but the lack of good midrange and the shrill top end make my ears shut down.
