Pink Floyd - Momentary Lapse Of Reason: Original or Remix?

I think I prefer the remix by a large margin. What say you all?

 

No both option?

 

You can't prefer both.
The question is which do you like more. Not which do you like.

 

In general, remix ... EXCEPT for 'On The Turning Away'

With lame new drums (original were much better), uninspired remix and worst of all, alternate Gilmour vocals. Not the original

My favourite song of the album ruined in such way. Why oh why

 

Sure I can
They are different animals so I can prefer each under different circumstances

 

This poll’s going to close in a decade at 8:30AM guys, vote fast!

 

The remix is better. Too bad it can't save the album, but that's another story.
Remix got my vote.

 

I voted for remix, but I seriously have to listen to it more, and with headphones, to make an in-depth comparison.

 

Original - DR 12

Remix - DR 10

 

For me, some of the new remixes are hit and miss. Some of the others are great. My fave is how One Slip sounds now. Hearing Rick's keyboards swirling on that gave me a lump in my throat.

Overall, I prefer the new remixes to the original version. But of course, I'll keep both.

 

I would prefer to have no closing date. It is meant to be open ended.

 

I actually prefer the new version for On The Turning Away - this was my favorite song on the record back when it came out. In general, I think One Slip and, yes, Dogs of War are the most improved tracks from the remix.

 

Definitely the original. The remix has almost a deadness to it, maybe from lack of a sense of reverb. Usually I'm not a fan or remixes anyway, very seldom imo does it help.

 

Remix is wayyyy too heavy on the bass and treble for my liking, everything jacked up. Original is more sterile and canned-sounding but that was the style of the time, no getting around the production that's baked in. It feels more cohesive than the remix, if that makes sense

 

This album is a album featuring David Gilmour with external songwriters labeled as an "Pink Floyd" album. EMI still see their product labeled correctly.

 

I've had to recently contemplate this could be my favourite Floyd album...there I said it.

 

Blah blah blah

It's a terrible album but not because of the external songwriters. Bob Ezrin was an external songwriter on The Wall and Ron Geesin on Atom Heart Mother.

At least the external songwriters on Lamentary Lapse were just lyricists. As far as I know, none of them wrote any of the Music, which is what matters.

Not that it saves the album, but you know...accuracy...

 

Yup, agree. Blues guitarist with good tone & voice with nothing to say remain signed to major label.

 

You forgot the main thing: the music.
Gilmour is a Composer, a Melodist.

And records must have music. Poetry is for books.
Atom Heart Mother is my favorite album btw. Because it's mostly instrumental.

 

Voted original, but i like the alternative version.

 

I'll take the original...and a side of fries.

 

Jon Carin gave their comeback hit in Learning to Fly - it was based on his demo. Pretty sure Bob Ezrin, Phil Manzanera and Pat Leonard also have music co-writing credits.

 

Yawn. You should try Radio K.A.O.S. That’s a really great album.

 

The question is what version do you like better. Whether it’s a real Pink Floyd album has been debated to death in a million threads.
