Album Info
Originally released in 2001, Moody Street is the difficult sophomore – and final – album for Pulse. As with Sessions at 7A, there are a few tunes that are studio remakes of what was done on The Slosberg Tapes.
The original mix of this album never sat well with me and I remixed it (along with Sessions at 7A) in 2005, remixed the album. Both versions are included in this Deluxe Edition along with a previously unreleased version of “Karl” that has multiple basses. Is the remix better? I’ll leave that up to you. I’d probably make different mixing choices today than I did in 2005.
There are limited quantities of the CD with the original mix left for sale. The 2005 remix is only available digitally.
