Wow.  It's been a while since I've posted.  Who missed me?

I was thinking about taking another stab at remastering (it's been a few years since I did the original remasters and I have some new tricks) a few tunes off the original tape that Rik got.  I was looking around my drive today and I still have the originals.  

I suppose I'm asking for suggestions.  Only Dying is a given because it melts faces.  

Perhaps I can take a stab at a few if I have the time.  I'm guaranteeing nothing here, just to be clear. :)  Also, the original tape was not the greatest, so don't expect any incredible miracles.  I might be able to make them sparkle a little more than the last time.

I'm also not guaranteeing that we may or may not have another surprise up our sleeves.

Dude, I can't wait to hear the "Only Dying" remaster if you do end up doing it!

John

I finished Only Dying today.  It's an improvement over the original master I did.  

I'd still love to get my hands on a much higher quality tape.  There is only so much information to work with in these files.

More to come!

Sweet! Would you mind posting it for a fellow fan?  ;D

They will be given to Rik to distribute how he sees fit.

Maybe.  Maybe a few more.

In never-before-heard quality possibly.

But, who knows.

Five words only:

Super.  Scary.  Super.  Scary.  Area.

You re-doing MJY is the most exciting thing I can imagine... new album/tour excluded.  I absolutely cannot wait to hear your musical masterpiece.
How could they not notice it?! Because it's a little mint.  It's a Junior Mint!

Yeah, you have no idea how excited I am to hear what you do with "Only Dying".

Well, I would like to caution the expectation.  

As I said, these tapes are not very good at all.

I hadn't heard these before, didn't realize they were so funky back in the day. Although I thought I had a really old demo from them but Scott's voice sounded a lot different, maybe it was something else.....
