The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static. Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements? -- Sven Petrov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jandersson@clari.net Sun Dec 17 10:56:01 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!clari!jandersson From: jandersson@clari.net (Jens Andersson) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Observation: European 12-inch extended club dubs - comparing pressing masterings Message-ID: <1995Dec17.105601.5779@clari.net> Date: Sun, 17 Dec 1995 10:56:01 GMT References: <1995Dec16.112901.1230@uni-hamburg.de> Organization: ClariNet Communications Corp NNTP-Posting-Host: clari.net X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1995Dec16.112901.1230@uni-hamburg.de>, spetrov@uni-hamburg.de (Sven Petrov) writes: > Comparing the German Teldec 12-inch, British Fennimore/Ashford pressing, and French Vogue release. > The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.
