[blog] -> simple minds once upon a time prototype
Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 4:04 amhere's another blog i made last
year, with samples of alternate
versions and mixes of the songs
by simple minds.
this is using the DVD-A, to get the
alternate tracks from:
===================================

check it out.
-------
taking a look at each song on ‘once upon a time’,
and using the DVD-A tracks, which contain vocals
and instrumental parts, and also using released
mixes and instrumentals to make new versions.
once again, this is NOT a replacement for the album,
but simply an experiment into how the tracks sounded
in different ways. there is a lot more emphasis on the
vocals. and although these tracks were very similar
to the final album, there was some minor changes
made for the surround sound mix.
one other note, is that the heavy use of back up vocals,
and singer robin clark, is mostly eliminated. i don’t
particularly like this album, and a lot of the tracks
were just plain, and overdone. it still has some good
songs on it. but i think it was definitely a step back
in their career. although commercially, it was probably
their biggest success. i’m sure you have more comments
on that.
enjoy the tracks, as we visit each one.
we will be starting of with the title track
'once upon a time' shortly.
