[kj] Recently, Currently, Upcoming, What is this...Remastered!?

Sat Jun 26 23:14:07 EDT 2021

I picked up a remastered 2xCD of Pylon this afternoon. So far, I
only compared "Autonomous Zone" and "I Am the Virus", and looked at the
stats for both versions of the CD. In its favor, the new version tames the
muddy or boxy bass. Less warm, but maybe a better balance. The 2nd CD adds
"Snakedance (dub)" and 2 radio edits. On the down side, the tracks are
about 1.5dB louder, and even more limited -- from a DR7 to DR5. Less bass
already would give more perceived loudness and increase the dynamic range,
so everything else has been pushed up more than that. This is not
inappropriate for the style, but pushed further than necessary. KJ are not
Napalm Death. Even so, the EQ of the new version probably would sound
better to most people on more systems.
