Amphetamine Logic - bass line on re-release

I have been listening to the re-release of FALAA A LOT lately.

Has the bass line on Amphetamine Logic been beefed up??? I have listened to both CD versions, (my vinyl is inaccessible - no record player!) and it does seem to have been made more prominent. Is this just a quality issue/remix?

The re-release seems really snake-like and really rather good, even better than original... maybe....;D

Any one else agree?
Thoughts???

You're not alone, I think the re-release of FALAA is fantastic as well. Im amazed at how "clean" it sounds compared to the previous Eldritch digitally remastered CD. I think the biggest noticable difference is in the vocals.

Well, it is a totally different mix, for starters... :innocent:

Seeing as the rerelease contains the "original vinyl version" of the album I think it's more a case of the original Logic had the beefed up bass, but it was toned down during the remastering process of the CD versions.

oh, that means compression

not compression, it is about the pitch. they changed the tonal in studio remix, i think, i haven't hear that version yet :roll:

they should have changed the master-pitch then
it's impossible to listen something out of pitch

It's nothing to do with the pitch!

It just means the volume's been turned down a bit...
