I know you're thinkin remastered, but I'm talkin about remixed.

I was thinking that the other day when I was listening to Prince's Around The World In A Day. The musical arrangements on this CD are great, but would be superb if not for Prince's over-indulgence. Both the title track and the song Paisely Park suffer from Prince's being enamoured with the sound of his own voice and lush arrangements are marred by excessive vocal masturbation, such as "whooo" and "eey-hheee" and the usual over emoting. And it was around this time that Prince started playing around with alterego Camile, which was nothing more than his voice sped up to sound afeminate. This shows up on tracks like the otherwise gorgeous Temptation. I would like to see this album fall into the hands of a pop master like Todd Rungeren or Quincy Jones. This album would then be the great paean to 60's psychadelic pop that it was meant to be, instead of the seldom meantioned 80's album that it is now.

Also. I like to see Yes' Relayer remixed more in the vein of Close To The Edge or Fragile. The latter meantioned albums sound fantastic in their latest reissue. Squire's bass is so up front and powerful on these, but so washed out sounding on Relayer and even Going For The One to an extent. But listening to the studio run-through of Gates Of Delerium, without all the later studio embelishmnets, its much more listenable the the released version. While we're at it, let get Rick Wakeman to re-do the keyboard parts because time has proven that Wakey provided direction and arrangement as well as his skills at the keys.
