I didn't like it at all. It often sounded constricted, for instance the bass in Bracelet of Fingers is almost inaudible while the vocals are way too clear (I heard breathing and lip smacks). I never noticed that while listening to the album through stereo speakers. By chance I switched to Dolby Prologic (I have a surround capable reciever) and it sounded awesome on headphones. There was still a stereo sound but the mix was more balanced. I didn't detect any loss of sounds or added processing such as reverb, etc. A digression: I tried the same thing with some songs on the stereo version of With the Beatles and found the same thing. The weird hard-panning on that album was smoothed out on headphones and the sound blended in a natural-sounding way, much like those primitive stereo mixes sound coming from fairly closely-spaced stereo speakers.Tyler B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-23599530274937791972020-05-18T02:00:41.185+09:002020-05-18T02:00:41.185+09:00Mediafire still works:

I also did this with Captain Beefheart at your behest to see the difference. But The Captain sounds good any which way.

While there are some symptoms of cheesy psychedelic mixing, and 4-track bass and drums on one side of the stereo spectrum type symptoms, I think the mono mix misses some of the overall high-end and punch and the drums are far lower in the mix. Best example, "Balloon Is Burning". The drums sound very flat and cardboard-box like in the mono mix, whereas they have more room to breathe and the kick drum has more punch in the stereo mix. The stereo mix was eq'ed far better as well. Maybe I'm in the minority on this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-54031468507625747762012-09-09T12:22:27.094+09:002012-09-09T12:22:27.094+09:00Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?xkjanommiod...Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?xkjanommiodAnkithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022970269193461261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-24514182861008979722012-05-17T00:30:15.078+09:002012-05-17T00:30:15.078+09:00another link please !!!
