Sound dropout on Still Life

[sknight]

I just got one of the reissues of Still Life and the sound in the right channel keeps dropping out from The Moor and then periodically throughout the rest of the album.

Anyone else notice this problem and do the originals have this problem?

Its all in the FAQ.

must have passed over it last week. Thanks. It's a drag and I'm surprised that they didnt fix it on the reissues. The technology does exist for digital recordings.

 

[Justin S.]

No problem. I agree, its really a shame that it cant/wasnt fixed.

It is a shit! But it doesn't diminish the music though.

Can't find it. I searched Still Life and it doesn't find anything.

oh my god you're kidding right? i think moonlapse is going to have an aneurysm when he sees this, and just in case he doesn't i'd start running now and get a head start

By the way, they don't have digital technology that restores non-existent audio. Mike said there was a problem with the DAT (Digital Audio Tape)... that's essentially the master copy for audio recordings... once that's gone, it's all gone baby. Their only option would've been to re-record, or punch-in all those parts, provided they kept the actual mix tapes. Only way to fix it on re-issues would be to book an identical studio, with identical equipment, use that identical equipment with identical settings to punch-in the parts of the album where it happens.
