Tangerine Dream

Hs Edgar ever demonstrated this so called ....."deliberate effect created by a filter plugin that chops up sound bytes". .....that totally ruins the song it was tried on?

It's a defect for sure

Don't really know what you are talking about here, but then again I am no musician.
But regarding the title of your post... Of all the re-recorded albums (that I have heard), I think that Melrose is the one that is most similar to the original. Have to listen hard to hear something new on this one. But I am very glad that the great track The Back Of Beyond is included on the release.

The infamous skipping on Cool At Heart about 223 into the song?
According to Voices In The Net it was explained away by Edgar as some kind of process like I quoted in y original post.
It sounds like just plain old skipping on the disc........give a listen again.

I will.

Have listened again. Now I remember that skipping, but I just thought it was a faulty mp3 file since I have the download version.

I still think this ''efffect'' ruins a great track...can't believe it's there intentionaly.

As I read in the „Voice in the net“-Homepage there is a fault with the 2002 re-recording of Melrose. The Membran record label released by mistake the Original 1990 version on this disc.

I saw now the original Eastgate-version of the 2002 re-recording in the Eastgate Shop, but unfortunately they didn‘ t answer to my E-mail, so maybe here is anyone who can say if the version in the Eastgate-Shop contains the „real" re-recording as it was released in the „Melrose years“ box. Thank you!
