Spiritualized - Fucked Up Inside (BZA remaster)

Post by BzaInSpace »

Alright?

I always wanted to hear the first official live Spiritualized album properly as it has always seemed so quiet to me, I think deliberately mixed quietly, like the JJ Cale albums. However I don't always have the ability to blast music out loud, so I spent this morning "remastering" this album with The Dark Arts.

A lofty and arrogant claim of course - I'm fucking with J Spaceman's original master! - but I have ended up with something that sounds great via headphones without insane levels of volume... and through speakers it kills! Now I can really hear the intricate panning effects that all over this album, and the loud parts now roar (almost) like they would have been live.
On a dull technical note, and as mentioned before, it's obvious that this live record was from different sources due to the differing original levels recorded...

Anyone wanting a copy can just PM me for a download link.

On this note should any official sources object they can contact me too!.

I have included two contemporary 'bonus tracks' in true bootleg style...

You got a whole lotta love,
Won't you give some to me
If you send some my way,
I will take good care of it
For the love that you send,
Will come back to you someday
And the good times you bring,
I will bring to you someday

always found it very quiet myself too, but always thought it was because I had a crappy mp3 copy sourced from the net. (also it's presumably it was mastered more for vinyl?)

when we gonna get another official Spz live album i wonder?

Nah - even the original CD itself was noticeably quieter. I remember mentioning this years ago on here and was shot down by a few posters for suggesting this - they were wrong!!! :wink:

Never heard the vinyl so can't comment. I should add for all recipients that no compression or 'brickwalling' was used here.

I've sent you a link anyway Angelsighs...

Thanks for this, BZA, I have it set to play louder on my Itunes but it's been an imperfect solution.

My local store has a vinyl copy of this in stock £35, worth it? I dunno. I have never listened to it much because as has been said, I don't think it's mixed particularly well.

Fucked Up Inside (BZA remaster) - NON FUCKED UP VERSION!

Post by BzaInSpace »

After listening close to the above over the weekend I discovered some fleeting distortion near the end of the 'Shine A Light'/'Electric Mainline' medley. I also wasn't too impressed with 'Smiles' either. :oops:

I blame the coalition Government.

I have now reworked both and have made a new link available - I have also PM'd everyone who initially asked for a copy a new link so please download the new one to replace the original...thanks!

Anyone else looking for it just let me know via PM please.

Lazer-guided thanks again!

Hi


If there's still a link floating around, I'd be very interested too please. Got the original and love it (a truly fantastic version of WWJ) and that era of Spz is fantastic, but I too was still disappointed at how quiet it sounds. Thanks in advance.

Thanks M, glad you liked, the real test is to see if it still sounds good really, really loud so that's great to hear!

I think the version of 'Take Good Care of It' on that album is somewhere in my favourite Spiritualized songs ever. Beautiful with an outstanding vocal.

I've PMd all recent requests so let me know if the link is still working - should be.

Tried sending a PM but may have got it wrong as I didn't get a reply! I've always loved the FUI album and was always somewhat disappointed by it needing a more beefy sound - that period of Spz was amazing. Is your remaster link still available please?

Hi all, new here (just discovered this site) but not new to SPZ - saw them in Denver, CO on the Rollercoaster USA tour (I was there for SPZ but also enjoyed Curve/JaMC) and then in 1997 at the Double Door, Chicago.

I absolutely love this record. Like our OP, I however disliked the overall sonics of the album, though was able to see through it for the absolute glory of the songs. I, again like the OP, remastered my own version for my own private self. (I have some experience in the industry, having done the mastering on the live discs in the '07 Joy Division Closer and Still Collectors Edition sets, and then the JD half of the New Order/Joy Division "Ceremony"/"In A Lonely Place" 2011 Record Store Day 12".)

The mids - roughly between 800-3000kHz - are oddly carved out on the as-released version of FUI. There wasn't a lot of presence though such notching gave an overall warm tonality to the album; however, it's not in line with any of that era's studio work in terms of tonality and EQ.

My version fixes this, and also (with some VERY minor compression) addresses the volume issue.

Sample here, 60sec of "Angel Sigh" encompassing the verse and the first "chorus", for a good idea of dynamics:
http://drewc.dyndns.org/SPZ_FUI_AngelSi ... master.mp3

Thoughts? I am willing to make available the whole record if there's interest.

I'd happily listen to the full set! I've compensated for this issue by cranking up the volume in my itunes settings, but it's a crude remedy.

have it on vinyl, cracking release but have to agree on the sub-par mastering i.e. volume is far too low.

I'd love a link too please - I love this album and it has one of my favourite versions of both Take Good Care Of It, Smiles and especially Angel Sigh and Walkin' With Jesus - in fact forget that - the whole album is superb but I always felt it was let down by the incredibly low volume on it

I never managed to obtain an original cd of this, I had a download which I grabbed years ago, so it's nice to have these updated versions.
I have both BZA's version and drewc's so will take a listen to them both over the next couple of days and then bore you with my thoughts.

Thanks to both of you for the taking the time to f*ck (in a good way) with this recording.

Also, thanks to whoever posted the gold artwork.

i have the dcremaster in FLAC, a bit over 300 MB.

ran a DR analysis on the WAVs extracted from those files, here's the result:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DR Peak RMS Filename
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DR12 -0.54 dB -18.01 dB 01-Take Good Care Of It.wav
DR11 -0.20 dB -13.67 dB 02-I Want You.wav

DR9 -0.20 dB -12.00 dB 07-Smiles.wav
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of files: 7
Official DR value: DR11
==============================================================================================

the BZA remaster is 144 MB, i only have MP3 of those.

PM me for links, i'll put them up for a bit. please don't post them publicly out of respect for the original uploaders.
you'll have to un-rar and i may password protect them as well. ;)

Sorting out some music on my computer before work and found this. At the end, there are two extra tracks - Let It Flow and Things'll Never Be the Same. What are the origins of these versions? Are they from the same Rollercoaster USA gigs?
