HW: Remaster everything on the Atomhenge Label

So if I raved about the EMI remasters it was probably because they have a fuller, cleaner sound, which ostensiblywould be better.
 
But when I turn the lights down and the stereo up with intention of just sinking into the total sonic experience that is Space Ritual, I found that the EMI discs just had a sharp, slightly cutting treble quality that constantly nagged at my ear and made feel distracted and on edge.  I swapped back the One Way disc and immediately it had that warm, mellow-but-crushing sound that to me is SR...  :)

And I suspect that probably was the vinyl influence.  Maybe I should buy one of those stupid inline tube amps that adds higher order harmonics and smooths off the treble end of the amplification curve.  I'd probably love that shit....

once again on behalf of the minoity opinion  :)

Perhaps we could take the EMI and One Way versions and blend  
them .... :)
