Here's one for the people who can discern mix differences. For the life of me, I cannot figure out the difference between the remix (single) version of
Natalie Merchant's "Wonder" and the LP version. I know I bought the LP version from iTunes and I'm not quite sure where I got the remix version (it is labeled as the "remix" version), but dern it if they don't sound the same. Is there any portion of the song where the difference is more pronounced and I'm just missing it? ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Try listening to the portion around 1:30 with the lines "Oooooooooooooooh/I believe/Fate...".
The album version has drums, bass, piano, and a little rhythm guitar. The remix has an organ overdub, just playing some long chords on top of everything else. There may be other differences, but this one is what I noticed first. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Hmmmm--the version I bought on iTunes has the organ overdub as well, and it purports to be from "Retrospective" which according to the database has the LP version.
Of course, it wouldn't be the first time a digital iTunes track and the comparable CD track aren't the same. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Discogs lists a "Remix Edit" with a listed time of 3:59
on the U.S. Promo CD single. Is this just an earlier fade of the remix? |

Ohhhh, I am finding this a LOT lately, with digital albums having versions of songs replaced vs. what was on the physical CD's. I've probably encountered 5 or 6 examples in the last few months. It is very annoying. |

difference may be from 2:17 to 2:27. The album version has the drums out front and a subdued piano at this point, playing sparse background notes. The single version has a different and much more lively and dominant piano overdub at this point. The piano is very prominent here. Also, listen from like 3:47 to 3:51 when Natalie is singing "She'll make her way." On the single version, it sounds like she has a backup singer harmonizing with her (although it may just be some reverb). On the album version, it's dry and clearly just Natalie. By the way, I also agree that the version that iTunes has on "Retrospective" is the single version. |

The back insert of my U.S. promo CD-single (PRCD 9287-2) mentions only the 'Remix', but the actual disc contains (and lists) two tracks:
1. Remix Edit (listed time 3:59; actual time 4:09) 2. Remix (listed time 4:24; actual time 4:22) |

The Remix Edit is just an early fade. |
