It's not so much the
musical arrangement of the original 'version' I didn't feel (although the bassline was a little droll), more the dull and lifeless audio dynamics of the original mix. It sounded so flat and just wrong.
Similar thing sprang out on that Z-Trip mix thingy that came out a while back. I think it was a beat off something from one of their 90s albums which segued into the original mix of Make Some Noise (which would have at that point been on the upcoming HSC1 prior to the delay of both the album and the Z-trip mix), and that mix also sounded weak and flat - a fact which was only highlighted further when side by side with earlier, better mixed/mastered material, too.
It was cool that they went back and re-tooled the final mix. Crud circumstances which surrounded the project, obviously.
Somewhat related, I enjoyed reading
this.
