But if that was the case, then why didn't he just use the original masters and clean them up some?
He did this to lots of TD releases, couldn't stop himself from tinkering apparently. Also this album originally came out on Brain unlike any other TD/EF album so different rules apply.
Aqua came out on Brain too with the tunes in different order and a couple of them remixed, but yeah, Macula on Brain! I remember these when they came out (the Virgin ones I got as promo copies for my radio show then). Ages was a favorite too! What a mess he made of re-doing those early TD ones. This new ensemble has gone back to that early style - and it's nice to hear these new releases!
But if that was the case, then why didn't he just use the original masters and clean them up some?
He had a habit of not being able to leave things alone - wanting to improve them somehow. A bit like the TD album Green Desert is supposed to be a lost mid 70's recording - except you can tell from the production it got tweaked and added to later. Zappa of course did this sort of thing all the time oh this is a bit boring so I'll splice in a solo from such and such a concert.

KARKHANA are: Mazen Kerbaj: trumpet, objects, electronics Umut Çağlar: double reeds, bamboo flutes Sam Shalabi: oud, electric guitar Sharif Sehnaoui: electric guitar Maurice Louca: organ, synthesizer Tony Elieh: electric bass Michael Zerang: drums, darbouka
I missed the sax day a couple of days ago. It is an instrument deep in my genes. My father played both tenor and baritone sax right up until his nineties, when he had to give up with failing sight, but he was still playing it occasionally from memory until a couple of years before he died aged 97. I can take or leave piano based jazz, but if its the sax I love it!

New album from Salut, not as strong as previous but very good.
