What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

Im dipping into the "remastered" version of The Stone Roses which is up on Spotify.

Unsure on how to call it. I dread to think how many times I have listened to the original mix of the album in my life. Its one of those records where every note is permanently etched into my brain so I am interested into hearing what changes have happened on the remaster. I think the obvious things are that the bass have been turned up quite a lot, and the tracks seem to have a bit more "space" between them (I'm sure there is a technical term for that, but I don't know it.) so you can pick out certain things more easily, especially the snare and the hi-hat. There are bits of it I prefer to John Leckie's original production, there are bits I don't like as much, and there are bits that just sound odd.

Its still a **** great record though. Twenty years old and it sounds as fresh as ever.

Brian Eno - 'Prophecy Theme'.

Is there a vinyl version of the remastered version?

Yup, it comes with a 7".

There's a few other Roses reissue 7"s too, and maybe a couple of box sets, the whole shebang.

Rush - You Bet Your Life

Just another gypsy with a plastic guitar

Just another dancer with her eyes on the stars

Just another dreamer who was going too far

Just another drunk at the wheel of a stolen car

The odds get even

You bet your life

Anarchist reactionary running-dog revisionist

Hindu Muslim Catholic creation evolutionist

Rational romantic mystic cynical idealist

Minimal expressionist post-modern neo-symbolist

Armchair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist

Deconstruction primitive performance photo-realist

Be-bop or a one-drop or hip-hop lite pop metallist

Gold adult contemporary urban country capitalist

Bet your life

into the track preceding it on Roll the Bones: Neurotica

You just don't get it,

What it is, Well you're not really sure

You move like you're walking on thin ice

Talking like you're still insecure

Time is a spiral

Space is a curve

I know you get dizzy

But try not to lose your nerve

Life is a diamond

You turn into dust

Waiting for rescue

And I know that you just don't get it

You just don't get it

Neurotica, exotica

It's just erotica, hypnotica

It's psychotica, chaotica

It's just exotica, neurotica

You just don't get it

Baby, don't you ask yourself why

If you don't like the answer forget it

You know I hate to see you cry

Fortune is random

Fate shoots from the hip

I know you'll get crazy

But try not to lose your grip

Life is a diamond

You turn into dust

Looking for trust

And I know that you just don't get it

Snap!

Hide in your shell

Let the world go to hell

It's like Russian roulette to you

Snap!

Sweat running cold

You can't face growing old

It's a personal threat to you

Snap!

The world is a cage

For your impotent rage

But don't let it get to you

Snap!
