But...would they rush the pre-final mix/pre-mastered version out to the radio for THE PREMIERE? That sounds like an awful plan, because not only do they present their most commercial song since Love etc. badly, they also ruin their chances of having a hit quite a bit. Anyways, I still adore the instrumental mix which (when you download the podcast) is a ~219kbps MP3 file, whereas this Radio 2 podcast has a three times worse bit-rate, therefore I blame the quality of the stream for this radio edit debacle.Piotrek wrote:Considering that both Axis and Fluorescent have Neil's vocals balanced well in the mix, I'm thinking that the version of Vocal played on the radio is either a special mix made especially for the radio or a pre final mix/mastered version.
I think it will turn out much better when less compressed (or lossless) but I'm not getting my hopes up they'll turn Neil's vocal down, but it'll definitely sound better when it's presented to us the way The Boys intended to. Anyways, I give the Stuart Price Mix a tenner, whereas this "radio edit" only gets a 7/10. Still, quite good.
