the “difference” in the intro to the new pollution is that the explosion sound is quieter, hardly even audible i think.

I just noticed that “Deadweight” has a lot of extra parts at the end of the song. Sounds great !

I prefer the original mix of “Electric Music and the Summer People” by far. The vocals just sound really tinny and buried on the new mix. The original was hardly a perfect mix, but I like it more than this new mix.

Also - “Erase the Sun” always sounded slowed down to me. Could this new mix be the not-slowed-down original?

By the way, Mulberger - “Electric Music and the Summer People” was never on Stereopathetic Soulmanure. Are you thinking of “Thunder Peel”, per chance?

btw….there are 3 versions of “electric music”…streopathetic, mutations and odealy. mutations being on the japan cd import.

so this is out of order…but i wanted to get in touch with the blogger. I recently found a nice little beck Gem of a promo for sexxlaws. its a promo CD-R put out by may first productions inc. its got 2 remixes that were never released, and as far as I can tell Im the only one who has this cd. I can provide photos…by the way I scored the promo for a tiny $10, which I think due to its rarity is worth a lot more.

The Odeluxe version of “Electric Music and The Summer People” is WILDLY different from the version that I know of (from MOM3), with Beck’s roaring electric guitar and vocals taking over and less emphasis on the 1960s pop sample. It has 8 times as many balls as the original cut.

Hooray, Odeluxe suffers from the typical “loudness war” mastering I’ve come to know and despise. I guess it’s to be expected, but crrraaap :(

actually I think the keys in the funky little break in Devil’s Haircut are a little louder than before.. also the kick drum in where it’s at sounds louder

I did notice “The New Pollution”’s sax being a bit more buried in the Deluxe Version, as in less clear. And “High 5″’s vocals are a lot clearer. And the beeps in “Sissyneck” when the music stops is for four beeps, not the original two. I would have thought that the songs would all be identical, but looking back they’re all clearer on Odeluxe. I don’t really want a remixed one! I love the originals! They all have a different feel.

Don’t have a lot to add. I don’t think it will make anything a “collector’s item,” despite what some fans are saying.

I also don’t think they copied words from Whiskeyclone.net, maybe one song (”Novacane”).

I am curious what the correct lyrics are, as there doesn’t seem to be many flagrant errors in the liner notes I got…

so any comments as to the whole wrong lyrics being printed?
