There's some pretty startling and liberal use of orchestral hits too, and I do think they edited out the saxophone solo on "Icaros Descending".<br /><br />Nah, all joking aside it's not really a change in mood, but rather a change in "feel". If that makes any sense?<br /><br />For instance, the version of "Future Days" on "Garnet" has a rawer, more post-punk feel to it rather than feeling floating and ethereal as it does on "Alternative Garnet". Stuff like that, kinda hard to describe really ...wish I still had the rips so I could hook you up.<br /><br />I've been meaning to acquire actual physical copies of G-Schmitt records for a while, but have been putting it off in favor for more obscure shit (which, of course, many times turns out to be much inferior to G-Schmitt). After Yuki from Bardo Thodol, Syoko is definitely my favorite female vocalist - Japanese or otherwise!nattliga_tonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876523496061225545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019175483960830923.post-62411487659348918032011-02-10T14:49:07.599-08:002011-02-10T14:49:07.599-08:00@ anonymous: oh yeah, i knew it existed; i just co...@ anonymous: oh yeah, i knew it existed; i just couldn't find it to purchase (or download) anywhere. <br /><br />@ nattliga: if this is the better version then i don't mind.<br /><br />how is it different? is there a change in mood?Loser Knifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826956823821503922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019175483960830923.post-45600889727649142452011-02-10T11:58:56.077-08:002011-02-10T11:58:56.077-08:00I had rips of both before a computer meltdown, but...I had rips of both before a computer meltdown, but the two versions are pretty different both in mixing, instrumentation and arrangement.

Actual copies of "Alternative Garnet" are much rarer (and much more expensive) than the "Garnet" LP though. "Balsam" is probably my favorite G-Schmitt track overall - such an amazing bass riff at the beginning! I actually knew how to play the entire album on the bass before I managed to fuck up my wrists. Totally beautiful record.nattliga_tonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876523496061225545noreply@blogger.com
