I must say I love the alternate mix on "The Rebels Escape" with its louder layer, both are very good, but I think this one is the winner...

The most difficult part of the work is the final step: to choose the versions that fit the most together (and the more natural) in a way your eyes won't pop out from their orbit while listening to the score...

Among the many versions I have for "The Rebels Escape" actually, four of them are the winners and this alternate mix with louder layer, though it sounds quite good (and more !) as an isolated track, doesn't sound as natural as it seems next to the two lower layered mixes I have. It sounds a bit too much like if you listened to it through a huge horn or a seashell, notably because of the extension of the general echo through the RSO mix with its reverb superposed to the different way I found to retrieve/render somehow the "missing informations" on the film mix. All this is a question of tight equilibrium.

So from the samples, this is the most unsure track to be used as this in the set. But I don't know yet...

Oh, I really should compare them again then, maybe I was just fooled by the new powerful layer, but as you know by now, I've listened more to the CD1 version now and you heard what I said about that one;)
