Empty Souls - IOW Rework/Remix

[Bartek Wyre]

OK, so since some of us hoped the Lifeblood reissue would include some kind of demo or alternative version of "Empty Souls" (more specifically - a version that would sound more or less like how they played it at the Isle of Wight festival on June 12, 2004, which is how most of us got to hear said track for the first time; a faster and rockier take) and it seems that Manics failed to deliver, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

After a couple of evenings' work here it is folks, as promised, my rework of "Emplty Souls" https://soundcloud.com/revolstar/emp...yre-iow-rework

It has the same tempo as the IOW version, ditches the weird strummed synth bits and most of the guitar harmonies, which are now replaced by some good ol' chugga-chugga, just like how James played it live.

DISCLAIMER: No lame AI stuff was used, just old-fashioned DAW fuckery, phase inversion, EQing etc. I uploaded it to soundcloud because I kept getting a copyright match on youtube, resulting in the video being blocked. Huh.
