I'd say that's a matter of opinion though. Personally, I think the drumkit
levels are right-on, but thats because I love the drumkit! (And as I said
before, the main reason I was slightly disappointed in the drums being
slightly mixed down on some of the Space 1999 Year 2 cues....) Of course
this does mean that the 'sound' is altered from what you are used to
hearing. Again its a matter of taste I suppose. The harp parts seem very
prominent in the mixes and I love that. So I don't agree that the end result
is a "fault" of remixing. Just happens that that is what happens when you do
remix!

By the way Marc, going back to the 'Foster Gets Beaten Up By Thugs' cue from
EXPOSED....as we have noted, this sounds markedly different to how we are
used to hearing it and on this occasion I do agree with you that this remix
isn't anywhere near as effective as the original. I don't find it horrible
either, I should add.

But again that's a by-product of remixing. Perosnally I can live with it -
and as I said I think this is a GREAT album - but I can understand those who
prefer things to be 'left alone', as it were.......!
