ALTNOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYY

So, I guess it’s TRUE that ALNTOY will have a radio mix, and probably a new release on iTunes, come January. Yay!

New CD art/cover for the win!

Before you listen, here’s Jive’s (idf) listing of “changes” in this new version. Check which ones you notice yourself.

They’ve added reverb to his voice

They’ve cleaned up a lot of the busy-ness in the final choruses…brought out the electric guitar and did away with all the hyper synth stuff

They really brought out or added a high-hat cymbal or ride cymbal that plays a driving sixteenth-note rhythm throughout.

They added an echo to David’s last line…before it was just the guitar riff that echoed.

Overall I think it’s a much cleaner mix.

More guitar-driven and less synthy.

edit:

here’s chris’ (chenson/idf) observation:

Ok its not DRASTICALLY different. The acoustic guitar has been brought forward and there is a bit more bass definition and they have done away with some of the synth noise and made the drums sound more organic. It generally sounds a tad cleaner. Sounds like a tweaked production rather than a drastic re-mix.

and from snarkys’, here’s the email from Co-writer/producer Mike Krompass:

The radio mix is the same version, just a little big bigger and hi-fi sounding…. in general just sounds better  It’s the same version that appears on the ALTNOY video on itunes.

/edit.

Here’s the radio mix for ALTNOY!
