Since the mastering is almost done for the 40th Anniversay series, it's time for a THRAK thread.
It's been nearly 20 years since its original release. Do you still think the same of it?
I discovered the album in 2001 and it always has been one of my favorite Crim albums. It's the one that "clicked" with me and made me check out the rest of the catalog.
I have two versions of this, the Gold CD and the 30th Ann. remaster. Both sound great but the Gold CD is a tad more subtle. Especially with the vocals.
What will be included in the new edition? Any info can be posted in this here thread. I never bought the Vrooom Sessions, so hopefully they'll include that. And on vinyl for the first time? That would be something!
From the latest Fripp diary update:
http://www.dgmlive.com/diaries.htm?entry=2883214.11 First run*-though. Surround sound in stereo. A stunning mix. I have rarely heard stereo as convincing as this. Only one mix reservation, easily addressed by Jakko at Studio Jakko.
15.51 Onto a through-*listening of the 5.1. THRAK immersion.
17.02 Probably most listeners will hear joyful clatterings that escaped them on the original stereo mix, and perhaps may escape them even on the stereo radical*-remix.
17.15 Closing the computer and off.
