| We have four albums here, which later were re-recorded or remixed completely (though the Andromeda album only in the vocal part). I think it is interesting to see them compared to their original pair. Which one do you think is better than the original? |

I�ve only listened to the Ayreon album and I�m not even sure if it�s the original or the re-recorded version ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Maybe, it's useful if we put out some more info on the albs with release dates: Andromeda Extension Of The Wish recorded and released in 2001, vocals re-recorded and re-released as Final Extension in 2004. Ayreon Actual Fantasy recorded and released in 1996, re-recorded and re-released in 2004. Pagan's Mind Infinity Divine recorded and released in 2000, re-recorded and re-released in 2004. The Kovenant (Covenant) In Times Before The Light recorded in 1995, released in 1997 under the band name Covenant, remixed and re-released in 2002 under the band name The Kovenant. |

I�m pretty sure I have the original version of Actual Fantasy then. I haven�t listened to the album since I purchased it though. So that�s probably 10 years ago. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I think in Ayreon's case the re-recorded version is a slightly better (reflected on my vote above), while in the other cases all the originasl are much better, especially Covenant album, which was a fine symphonic/melodic black metal release, while the remix became an industrial monster

Nokturnal Morum's Weltanschauung/Mirovozzrenie. Mirovozzrenie was the original album with lyrics in Russian and Ukrainian, but I believe it was only officially released in the Ukraine. For the International version, they re-recorded the vocal parts in English, and replaced the majority of the interlude tracks with different ones. Both versions are easy 5 stars for me, but I much prefer it when bands sing in their native language.

I find it odd when bands decide to re-record old albums. From my collection, I think I have a re-recorded version of Onset of Putrefaction by Necrophagist and Fluxion by the Ocean (that one might only have some re-recorded parts). I also remember Nothing by Meshuggah being re-recorded (with 8-strings instead of 7s??). They sound good to me, but I don't know if I'd ever redo a full album if I were making albums. A song here or there is pretty common, especially in jazz. If I were to re-record old material, I'd want to do a completely different interpretation of the composition. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

| Negura Bunget's re-recording of their debut is nice |
