The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static. The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier! -- Amy Kowalski Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Pacific Bell Internet Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From dpopov@delphi.com Fri Jan 28 05:19:44 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!delphi!dpopov From: dpopov@delphi.com (Dmitri Popov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] European 12-inch extended club dubs - comparing pressing masterings Message-ID: <1994Jan28.051944.1982@delphi.com> Date: Fri, 28 Jan 1994 05:19:44 GMT References: <1994Jan27.060744.5192@pacbell.net> Organization: Delphi Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: delphi.com X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1994Jan27.060744.5192@pacbell.net>, akowalski@pacbell.net (Amy Kowalski) writes: > Doing a side-by-side shootout of the European 12-inch extended club mixes of SYNTHESIS.
