Is this version of nothing as it seems different than any others we have or is it the same as the NAIS single version?
Thanks!
They used the Tchad Blake mix on the album, so there were no alternates.

Thank you for confirming. I did see the only difference between the single and album version is the high hat count in. The other 3 songs on the preview disc are different so wanted to make sure NAIS wasn't. Appreciate the clarification.

I'm guessing that all the available mixes are still here in the best available quality, unless some upgrades have surfaced (three tracks are from promo CDR's in MP3 because lossless was being withheld at the time):

Otherwise probably the best we will get since they don't seem to care about their archives all that much.

Didn’t work for me either. I usually prefer Ed buried in the mix. Which songs benefit from him being upfront?

My only concern is the too-high amount of 'five star' ratings.

You people hand them out willy nilly!

Sleight Of Hand & NAIS are 5 star songs.

It's also ok if some don't think it to be the case.

Some would be wrong, but that's ok.

I treat Binaural like Stip does Dark Matter. I start with 5 star ratings as a baseline, and go up from there.
