Smile Re: Dark Side "remix" download

I'm not a fan of those stereo effects either, just my personal preference though... and I HATE what the mp3 compression did to my lovverly beautiful Dark Side! Why oh why did you downsample to 32kHz when you could have kept it at 44 with the same filesize?


waaaa waaa waaa hahahaha

I'm surpirsed... look dude, I was just "f&#king around". Its not intended to be perfect for obvious copyright reasons. As far as it not deviating much... thats the entire point, not to. Its just a "what if". Ya dig?

This was originally intended for my own enjoyment. After playing it on the radio, the response in favor was so overwhelming, I decided, what the hell, i'll share it.

The other demo and outtakes you talk about... I did try all those and them some. Believe me, they didn't work well when it came down to mixing, which is why you don't hear them in my mix and probably the original album for that matter. The demo version of "Time" and "Money" (Roger's demos) were not included because they are so far off, and so ruff, it was next to impossible to mix in (and they sound really aweful).

I challenge anyone to try and do better

The MP3 is only so people can download it (so whatever). The original here on my machine is WAV (industry standard) and it is at 44. This remix was not downsampled so I'm Not sure where you're getting that from.

Oh well. I appreciate your feedback, nonetheless.
