Yes's Siberian Khatru

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

    Hello!!

A little question : I was yesterday listening to the Joes Gastwirt's Atlantic remastered version of the 1972 Yes's Close To The Edge, precisely the last track, Siberian Khatru. When this track start playing, after some tens seconds, the sound seems to disappear in the beckground, becoming muffled for some seconds, then clear again, then still muffled...a little like an old tape. I try my CD on four different readers, with the same result, and I also download or listen to Internet versions, which give the same result (but with a poor quality due to the MP3 bandwith generally used on downloadable tracks on Internet...What a misery!!).

I suppose thus it's a wanted effect, but I don't remember my attention keeped by that the last time I listen to this track...And I've also never had the Vinyle version of Close To The Edge...

Progressively Yours and Thanks for Your Reply,

Epping Forrest

	Well I have the CD and had the vinyl version (gave it to a friend who was getting into Yes and loves vinyls) and...no, I have never noticed such thing

	I have the Remastered & Expanded version (8122-73790-2) and I have yet to notice any such faults.

	Are you listening to the bonus track? The last bonus track on one of the remasters was a studio run-through of Siberian Khatru.

	There are no bonus tracks on this version : it's the original album, thus with three tracks, only remastered. Listening more (and rested...); it seems more to be a diminution of volume better than a distortion; I hear the same effect on one of the two studio tracks from "Keys To Ascension I" too.
