Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
Robin Trower's back catalogue could really do with serious remixing imho.. the remasters aren't great (bit bright and loud) and the original CDs aren't much good either (the old Chrysalis ones I've heard sound grungy and lifeless) but I think it's the mixes themselves as much as the fidelity of the original stereo mixes that is pretty rubbish too. Shame cos there's lots of lovely music there.
Bowie...The Man Who Sold The World....mixed by c Visconti please.
Klaatu 3:47 EST would indeed have amazing potential for a MC mix.

The Klaatu however, was the real standout for me. This is really a great disk and it has a wonderful history (google it). I’ve been playing it on my sailboat a lot and have pulled into the marina rocking “Anus From Uranus” several times now.
Anyway, please keep the thread going. Its great for re-discovering these gems
School's Out is a sleeper! Watch Nice To See You Again Alice Cooper DVD for an impressive 'My Stars' mix.
Nels Cline is in town soon.
Still can't pick just one!
From QQ deep space
There's a Tony Visconti 5.1 mix of "Low" in the can, ready to be released whenever you like!
Source? That is great news if true. Who do I talk to about making it happen?
Re-read this one myself, and am torn between 3 albums here and no matter what I do I cannot get it down to just one.
So, in no particular order:
The Mission - Children. Hugely under-rated record often described as "The best album Led Zeppelin never made" which I feel is a bit harsh. Okay it was produced by John-Paul Jones and some tracks have a definitely familiar feel to them as a result of this - "Tower Of Strength" being a thinly disguised nod to "Kashmir", "Black Mountain Mist" would not have been out of place sung by Percy on LZ IV and so on. This, in the right hands, would make an awesome surround mix - but it would have to be someone like Steve doing the mix.
David Bowie - Diamond Dogs. His finest record, and the first one I bought back in '74. Just imagine what "Sweet Thing (reprise)" could be like in the closing section where you get a sound like heavy air brakes on a ridiculously large vehicle screaming around your head before it drops seamlessly into "Rebel Rebel" and the depth of despair that could be made from "We Are The Dead" - ooh, it sends shivers down the old spine, it does.
Queen - Queen II. Again, for me their finest moment. "Ogre Battle" in 5.1 - hell, the whole of "Side Black" really and not to forget "Father to Son". Bring on the '76 live releases!!
Cheers Fred.
I've done a decoded version of Queen II off a very early CD and it worked quite well - cannot remember if it was SQ or QS though (one worked, the other did not)
