Title: Who ReMixed This Mess?
Review: All of these tracks are very, very familiar from three decades of airplay and the LP. The net effect of the mix is as if the surviving band mates said, "Let's push all Jim's vocals down, and fight over the surround joystick so we each get our share of the channels". On most tracks, the band seems curiously crowded in the front, and then suddenly an instrument will blare out the back channels. Jim's voice was mixed low in volume and low in pitch so he is no longer fronting the band, he's singing by himself alone in the center channel. This remix is worse even than the DVD-A of Yes, Close To The Edge, which is an all-time bungle. Ham-handed remixes of well-known material like this are killing DVD-Audio.
