I've done my own remix of NLOTH. The drums on the album version were too buried for me, and the b-side's vocals are insanely high.
I extracted the groove from the beginning of NLOTH2, adjusted pitch and speed and multi- tracked it to NLOTH1. So the result is basically the album version of NLOTH with some more groove to it. I'm very satisfied with it.
I don't know if it's allowed to share it here. I'm no rapidshare customer so I can't upload it anyway. But I could send it to someone via email who could upload it for me.
I'd be thankful for reviews. This is the first time I try to enhance an existing studio recording by adding other stuff to it. I'd like to know if I overdid or underdid it.
Of course it's unusual to rework studio material, even for people who like to adjust bootlegs because those are never mastered properly.
But I can imagine perfectly the desire in this case because I don't like the sound of this album at all (not only the title track). Since I like the tracks more every day, I won't be surprised finding myself re-EQ'ing (at least) the album once the CD arrives. Not to share it though, there is a limit to madness I guess. But I do appreciate listening to your work.
I think your result would improve drastically if you'd completely cut the lows from the album version before mixing. It's, in my modest opinion, those insane satured lows that push away virtually every detail - every track on the album suffers from it. In NLOTH2 the lows are perfectly clean and nicely separated. Maybe you can simply mix the (mid-)lows (say below 500Hz) of NLOTH2 with the separated highs of NLOTH1. Oh well I wouldn't have a clue whether it really would work out, I'm far too lazy to try and find out myself lol. I'm glad I turned out not being the only one not satisfied with the sound, otherwise I might have thought I'm an idiot.
