PETER GABRIEL - This Is Home - Track discussion

Bright-Side is brilliant! Much more groovy, I think in the greater shape I like it better than the Dark-Side.

However, the last bit of the song stands out much more in the Dark-Side, so it's still an even match.

I really prefer the Dark-Side mix. A much better atmosphere and mood.

I am more on the bright side here. Quite significant differences when the track starts, but less when it ends. Interesting ...

Yeah this is one of those for me where I really don't have a major preference either way-but if I had to choose I would go with the Bright Side mix on this one, as that mix feels abit richer and fuller overall-in a way that I enjoy.

This means that I now have switched-There are more of these songs now where I prefer the Bright Side mix than the Dark Side. I guess I know which version of the album I'll be getting LOL (if they're separated)

Am I the only one to be able to spot the male choir only on the Bright Side Mix? On the Dark side mix, even though I know it is there during the first bridge, I really cannot hear it....

I haven't listened to it enough yet to discern what type of choirs are in there, but I did notice the Bright Side Mix has more backing vocals for sure...

I prefer the bright side here. Sounds overall better and shows some details, especially in the first part. I really like this track now. It grows!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this one really has Lovetown vibes to me! And I love Lovetown, so that's a good thing.

It has a very laid back and open feel to it that's unique in songs these days. It isn't too much of one thing, if you know what I mean by that. Kind of a "something for everyone to enjoy" kind of easy-to-listen to feel.

Just heard the post band version of "This is home" on bandcamp and I think those clapping elements should have made it to the final mix. They really add something lively to the track.

Quote from THOM

Well, the clapping is in the final mix. - At least if you consider the Bright-Side Mix as one of the final ones.

... indeed it is. The post band mix is just different. The clapping is much more prominent in the mix. I like it as well!
