Thanks for the news and the link. After listening to a few of the tracks on-line, I am struck by how they do not stray in any real creative way from the originals, they seem hollow, with less emotion, and less rich. To be fair, I should probably pick up the disc.
I picked up the CD, and while I appreciate the difference and treatment from the original tracks, I don't pick up the emotion that the originals had. GRII is professionally subdued. For example, listen to Ripples original and in GRII. The female singer sounds like Marianne Faithful or is on valium. In the original, Phil's vocals soar and he (or Chester?) does rightful violence to the drums ala Bonham. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy GRII, but the spotless studio treatment wrings the life from the music.
