Close TO The Edge in Atmos

[JediJoker]

What is S/T? I can only think soundtrack, and I know it's not that.

"Self-titled."

The section of the album I'm looking forward to hearing in Atmos the most is the "I get up, I get down" one. Although it already sounds really good in the 5.1 mix (at least the vocal part - as I said, I was a bit disappointed with the immersiveness of the organ), it's still a bit two-dimensional. It's totally calling for some sounds coming from above!

Especially since it already sounds like a dripstone cave.

Wilson has all but disowned those mixes. His experience on that job soured him on remixing any albums he didn't already love.

SW has also suggested if not outright said that Carl Palmer was forcing his hand to do things in the mixes that SW completely did not agree with. This also soured him against working on any other projects for ELP.

As for his Yes mixes, I am one of the minority who agrees that, for the most part, Wilson's Yes remixes sound rushed and unfinished to me. If I remember correctly, Close to the Edge might be the best of them, but for others, there are certain songs and parts where I just can't understand why he would bury one particular part or make another super loud. I'm happy to hear him revisit - and likely improve upon - them.

To me, CTTE is his least interesting Yes 5.1 mix. I love his mix of The Yes Album and also of Relayer, although not everyone loved the latter.

You mean to tell me people don't read all the posts before hitting reply?

There are 2 5.1 of Brain SS one is Jakko and I think the other is a Razor and Tie release and I can’t remember if the artwork tells you who mixed it. If I remember right the Jakko version is the one that sucks

I've always really liked the songs And You and I and Siberian Khatru, but not so much the side one title track.

I wonder if a Siberian khatru makes a good pet?

DJ Pauley, thx for asking, I couldn't get the S/T ("self titled") contraction either.

Last week, Siberian Khatru came up on the internet radio I usually have on during dinner. I started going into a various tidbits about the song, and Anderson’s lyrics in general.

As my wife’s interest started to wane (which happened really fast if I’m being honest), I was reminded about a statement a relative said about his wife:

My devotion to useless information is only exceeded by her love for me and tolerance for listening to that useless information.

Now we all know being able to talk endlessly about Yes, or music in general, is far from useless, but the point stands that my wife is pretty good when I start verbally vomiting also sorts of musical info floating around in my head.

So cheers to all of us who have spouses who don’t share the same level of music interest, but love us enough to let us wander through musical backroads and not complain about it.
