PETER GABRIEL - Road To Joy - track discussion
-
Après plusieurs écoutes du Dark side-mix, je préfère définitivement le bright side-mix de Marc Stent.
Le mix de Tchad Blake me semble plus austère, moins riche et retire le côté joyeux du morceau.
Et il semble que Peter Gabriel ait aussi préféré la version bright side puisque c'est celle qui est jouée live... -
With all this talk of alternate mixes-I have to say this about Road To Joy:
After hearing the dark side mix of Road to Joy, I really can't decide which version I like better; bright or dark! They both sound great, but create very different moods-I suppose it'll depend on which version I am in the mood for at any given time.
The bright side mix is much more full and melodic. Almost more generic in a way-designed to have a certain mass appeal.
The dark side mix is IMO much more reminiscient of PG's more experimental side, and even some of his earlier material: tighter drums, a more rough-edged and percussive feel, and some more unique mixing techniques and effects for some of the instruments. This version sounds more like PG's style to me.

I am really curious how Peter will proceed, i.e. which mix will end up on the album - or will there be a different album mix?
-
Dont le bright-side mix se rapproche (la guitare en moins)
-
Doesn't he always go for the bright mixes for the concerts ?
-
That’s the live version I would say
I think you can’t really compare this. Perhaps it would help if you could explain a bit why you think he is doing the bright mixes live?
