I'd have kinda liked the cassette-single version...which reminds me, I must transfer that onto CD at some point.James Blast wrote:This Corrossion coulda done with the 7" version - it came, it punched us in the face, it left
everything else was frippery
Nice to read an enthousiastic report!Andrew S wrote:Already discussed this with him.weebleswobble wrote:I will be patient and wait for these but without even listening to it I know that the MasterBlaster speaks the truth.James Blast wrote:I love this recently freed version, but it lacks the production of (a fragment) - a spot of echo and those keyboard tinklings wouldn't have gone amiss. Aren't the restored lyrics a wonder in themself tho?Personal tastes I suppose but this version blows me away.
It's a rougher mix than 'a fragment' but it's far more complete sounding than the Floodland demos. And James didn't notice that the keyboard tinklings actually do come in towards the end, as well as some cymbals that I rather like. Definitely one to put on repeat..... WAHOO.
I have a (US?) import of the cassette single of This Corrosion which is buried somewhere. Is that the same as what is on the UK version? I always prefered the very long version of this track which is why it never got played very often.Syberberg wrote:I'd have kinda liked the cassette-single version...which reminds me, I must transfer that onto CD at some point.

Interesting, I'll give mine a listen to and note down the differences so we can compare and contrastRetroGoth wrote:It is Electra. Must dig it out.
From what I've read I believe that record (pun intended) goes to Def Leppard's Hysteria. Something about a new mastering process. I think that album runs about 63mins which was insane compared to 40mins back then.RetroGoth wrote:It might have been down to how much could be fitted onto a side of a record? How much can fit on one side of a 33 1/3 RPM piece of vinyl?

It's growing on me every time I listen to it, definitely inspired by John Carpenter's synth soundtracks ("Assault on Precinct 13" for oneBig Si wrote:Thanks to the wonderful world of the t'internet i've now heard this and like it very muchJames Blast wrote:I was in tears way before then AndrewAndrew S wrote:And James didn't notice that the keyboard tinklings actually do come in towards the end, as well as some cymbals that I rather like.

However, the tinkly synth should have been on from the very start
), always felt that this track should be used in the intro and credits on a classic movie.Preach Bro!Big Si wrote:It's growing on me every time I listen to it, definitely inspired by John Carpenter's synth soundtracks ("Assault on Precinct 13" for one
And I love that extended bass rumble at the very end.
But yes, a little more tinkly synth earlier on would have been nice.

Something like that. Because even playing such a packed disk a couple of times would cause significant sound quality deterioration, Todd told his fans to play it once only to dub it to tape.James Blast wrote:I think Todd Rundgren's Initiation clocks in at 72 mins

However, I think a much better idea would have been to ditch the abstruse synth meanderings on side 2 altogether. Side 1 on its own would have been one of his greatest masterpieces.
Don't you dare, you've ruined enough classic sisters tunes already!Izzy HaveMercy wrote:This tune is just so
Perfect...
ANd I disagree with tinkly bits earlier blabla... let it build up until the end... Only the drums go too loud in the end IMO...
But mebbies a wee synth string pad at the end for the EXTRA atmos....
Hmmmmm....
Should I?
IZ.
NOPE! it needs some Belgian keyboard tinkley replication, none of your 'string pad' Nac Macdoobry Feegleness.Izzy HaveMercy wrote:This tune is just so
