I feel much better now, I really do...
I splashed out on the Steve Wilson Yes Remix boxed set for Christmas. You get the best Yes canon comprising The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans and Relayer.
Relayer was the one I was looking forward to the most.
The vinyl is deadly silent, nice and heavy and in good strong sleeves with white poly lined inners. Some of the artwork is slightly revamped, presumably to tell them apart from the originals.
The originals of course we (Yes lovers) know. So what happened to this song we once knew so well ?
Its still the same but the remix brings out the odd keyboard flourish, vocal harmony, guitar lick or drum flourish that you don't remember and the overall sound is cleaner without being clinical. I would say the remixes are sympathetic but not radical. A bonus for me as I bought from Amazon was to be able to download mp3 copies to listen to in the car.
Also I have been able to use my Onix OA21, SME 3009/Denon 103, Transcriptors ref combo for the first time ever now I have added a little weight to the headshell. What joy !
