Carnival (Redux) (Vinyl White Limited Edt.)

Carnival was originally released in September 2005, 25 years into New Model Armyscareer, and it had been their first studio album in more than five years. We always feltthat this was the one album where the recording, mixing and mastering didnt bring theend result close to what we had originally intended., says Justin Sullivan. So, whenearMUSIC declared their interest in licensing and reissuing the album, we discoveredfour associated tracks (B-sides and unreleased songs) to add to it we saw an opportunityto reimagine the album as a whole. The band found all the original recordings andgave them to Lee Smith, co-producer and mixer of their recent albums, including lastyears From Here (their highest charting album ever, in both Germany and the UK)and Carnival has been reborn with a sound that is far sharper and more powerful andcohesive than the original. We are aware that it is very dangerous for a band to goback, says Sullivan, so we made one absolute rule, that we wouldnt re-recordanything and wed ask Lee to remix it using only the original multi-tracks, without toomuch involvement from us. Some songs have changed very little, others quite a lot. Andto our minds, this has worked well and has enhanced the albums principle qualities,particularly the wealth of original musical ideas, at last arranged in a sonically satisfyingway. We hope you enjoy it. The album will become available as a Limited CD MediaBook Edition as well as for the first time ever on vinyl.
