Jay Maynes/Juan Oskar said:The "scratcher effect" is good when used in moderation but it became a bit unsettling to me and even kinda' manic. When they were using the technique where it sounds like your CD is skipping...I kept checking out my player.
Captain Bacardi said:For those of you who have the advanced copy of the CD: Notice that there's a difference on "Bittersweet Samba" in that there is a muted trumpet part at the beginning and in the middle on the actual release. This is missing on the advanced copy!

Mike Blakesley said:"Lemon Tree" is great but why do these remixers insist on programming the bass to play the exact same note over and over and over and over and over and over through the whole song when the melody clearly demands a different bass note? I know it's all in the 'arrangement' but sheeeeez. This otherwise-great arrangement is marred by that same note repeated ad nauseum.

I agree completely. Those four songs you mention are my least favorites on the old disk, and are among my top picks on the new one.What do I like best? I am finding that the tracks I liked least on the original release -- the "throwaways" or "album filler" cuts -- are the ones that are most improved with this release.... "Butterball" reminds me of Bill Nelson's "Orchestra Arcana" releases and the slow songs ("Tangerine," Lemon Tree" and "LadyFingers") are most enjoyable in this new format!
That was me. I still have not quite gotten used to the bass on "Lemon Tree" but it's growing on me. The whole disk is, in fact.Someone said teh repetitive bass note in ther remix annoyed them...
