This is a fan made remix of Head Carrier, primarily based around a new drum mix. I used sample replacement to give the drums a thinner and more 90s-ish Pixies drum sound. I also did some work on the vocals for Baal's Back in an attempt to improve the sound of those also. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for your work!
But I have to say, I prefer the original version of Baal's Back. On this note, it seems I'm anyway one of the very few ones who like this song. For me its definitely my favourite of the 2.0 era so far. It works without any explanation, or withput any required album context, which I can't say for most of the other 2.0 songs. And the screaming is authentic enough for me, and it blends very well with the guitar sound.

Thanks! I look forward to listening to this.
I like Baal's Back as a song, but do think Tom utterly failed to capture Charles's scream which was so potent on the live previews from the time. |

| After attempting a remix of Baals Back myself, I was in shock at how much "mud" Tom left in the mix. All this unnecessary boomy bass frequencies in the guitar and voice. If you put on Beneath the Eyrie (or like, anything) and then a song from Head Carrier in your car, the difference is shocking. |

Interesting tidbit, thanks

| I just listened to your mix and enjoyed it. The drums gave a crisper, more punchy sound to the album (drum people: is this what Charles had in mind with his requests for a "dry" drum sound for Zombies?), and you somehow made the Baal's Back vocals much more ferocious. I'm curious, what did you do with the latter? |

No. I don't think so. Different things. |

Nah this is definitely not a dry drum sound. Dry drums are when there's no reverb or anything adding 'space' to the drum sound. You're So Impatient has a really dry drum sound that you can hear in the intro :)
For Baal's Back it was some EQing on the vocal to reduce the bass frequencies, and also gating - all the 'in between' sounds like breaths are boosted like crazy in the original vocal track. So I essentially set up a gate to let the vocal through when he's actually saying words, and to reduce the volume by 9dB (if i recall correct) for the breaths and in between sounds |
