Opeth - "Still Life" re-mastered and re-mixed (reissue)

[Virgil.]

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Does anyone know what they're doing to make it better?

 

[STINNETT]

Haven't listened to it in a while, but I seem to remember thinking that record sounded fucking excellent.

Oh well.....

 

[AStacy2]

Yeah, I love that CD.

Jens Bogren remixed it in 5.1. Apparently it sounds different to the original, and Mike reckons he can hear tracks/dubs in there which weren't audible on the original. Should be interesting!

 

[Metaltastic]

I have nothing but high hopes for Jens Bogren's Midas touch, so I'm looking forward to it (and I'll be getting a 5.1 home theater setup this summer!)

I'm a little unclear...did Jens remix the stereo version too or did they just remaster the stereo and Jens mixed 5.1?

Buy my record!
Sorry....shameless, I know. We started mixing a record w/ him today.

You guys' first album was amazing and I will definitely be buying your second album as well!

Of all the Opeth records that could stand to be remixed, Still Life isn't really the top contendor. I'd like to hear a Morningrise remix.

I'd like to hear a Ghost Reveries remix

 

[Torniojaws]

There are some channel dropout problems in the original mix. Namely in The Moor, at: 5:08, 5:22, 5:29 - 6:29 (very big problems).

 

[R-Stuur]

Sounds good to me, even with the shit compression. Sounds like theres more 'air' to the mix, more room to breathe, I suppose.

 

[Metaltastic]

Oops, nevermind...

Haha, you better believe I'll buy your third album (Kazrog ); I still have my email receipt from Jesse when I got the Dismantling Devotion combo back in June '07 , so I'm good for another!

[Vamos]

Bring it! can't wait to hear it on my 5.1 speakers.

 

[Torniojaws]

Mother... They still haven't fixed the channel dropouts in that new reissue!! There's no point to get the reissue.

Seperate tracks or whole channels? At the end of 'the moor' sample, sound only went through my left speaker

That's the error. The sound disappears completely from one channel starting from 5:08 in the song and doesn't stop until the end of the track. The segment between 5:29 - 6:29 suffers the most, it drops out constantly during that minute.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

There's some slightly weird thing on my CD but nothing comparable to "The sound disappears completely from one channel", just some bad variations but there's still sound.
