Converge remix You Fail Me

2016-06-17 by Lelle | 43 Comments
Hardcore veterans Converge have released a remixed and repackaged version of their 2004 album You Fail Me.

Never quite content with the original mix, the Redux version of “You Fail Me” was remixed by guitarist Kurt Ballou at his God City studios. The release was also remastered by Alan Douches (Motorhead, Mastodon), and repackaged 
by vocalist/artist Jacob Bannon, featuring the original artwork with an inverted color scheme.

"You Fail Me: Redux" can be heard on spotify here:

Or streamed on Epitaph Records' YouTube channel:

fuck hanging moon is so intense here, always found it a bit lacking as a closer but the remix somehow fixed it for me

Apparently the original mix was really rushed and was done in only three days or so due to power failures at the studio it was being mixed in. Ballou also didn't mix the original.

Anyway, this sounds huge.

I didn't think the production needed fixing, but now that I can compare the two side-by-side, this definitely sounds better.

The mixing of both has its strengths and weaknesses, its nice to hear that there is actually a noticble difference in sound on the new one unlike other so called "remasters"

well that's because the remix and remaster aren't the same thing

Album sounds fucking great, though it sucks that jake's spoken word on the title track is even quieter on this. Also, Kurt said there is glockenspiel on Last Light but I just can't hear it.

^Yes, the spoken part on the TT being quieter is my only big gripe with this remix. Overall, I love the increase in clarity.

I've been so stoked for this. The one Converge album I've always loved, but wished would be mixed/produced differently - and now...

I didn't know this was happening. I remember when this came out most of the music boards I was frequenting at the time hated this album and I felt like an outcast for enjoying it.

Ballou took the original raw You Fail Me recordings and mixed them from scratch using the original mix as a reference. So no, it really is a remix.

Jane Doe sounds fine but I would still be interested in a remix given the quality of this one

This is the only record they'll remix. The original mix was rushed because the power in their studio kept failing

Kurt has said that he might remix Jane Doe at least just for his own enjoyment at some point

Oh hell yes. The original mix was awful, and it makes it downright unlistenable on even mid-fi gear. Will be picking this up for sure.

The new mix breathes so much better! Wish they would do this to Jane Doe (make it cleaner and more open). It may sound a bit shallow, but a quality mix allows me to enjoy music several fold more.

"Jane Doe sounds fine but I would still be interested in a remix given the quality of this one"

I love Jane Doe, but the clipping is horrendous. It's like my ears are being cheese grated. The stage depth and body also suck compared to this new mix and Axe to Fall.

Dude I'm just getting excited by this remix. It sounds so fucking good...who knew YFM with decent mixing would be that much better.

In Her Blood...feeling those strums...this atmosphere...this is heaven.
