Oh, wow, I love what you did with the standalone versions and everything else. I was especially excited for the ending of TMotBQ, and you absolutely delivered!
Are you going to be uploading the stuff in mp3 as well?

Matt,
What a great job you did on all tracks from CD2.
Father To Son (with no fade out) is fabulous. TFFMS & TMOTBQ standalone versions are fantastic...
I noticed one omission... Why you didn't use the piano/bass transition piece between TFFMS & Nevermore as an opening for Nevermore as it was used on BBC version? Which is the reason?
Cheers

from his notes:
"I never liked the piano between TFFM-S and this song (nevermore), because is a very different sound from both songs, that's why I didn't include it in this standalone version. Basically, I isolated the first seconds from the bones of TFFM-S's ending piano so what you hear is only 'Nevermore' piano and nothing else"
I would have preferred a more extended intro... :-)

the BBC version of White Queen is fantastic!!
I never heard an Ogre Battle so powerful and aggressive... :)

Right where the first verse in BBC's Ogre Battle begins there seems to be a slight volume glitch. Don't know if you could give that part slightly more punch? Otherwise great work as per usual.

You´re "a kind of magic" my dear friend. Amazing!

Dear Matt, Thank you, as always:
AMAZING WORK!!!
These standalone versions will surely replace my regular listenings. All of them are great.
I only have a little little snag on Father to son. The ending sounds a little forced (to me) just to end as it begins. But nothing serious, I'll get used to.
PLEASE NEVER GET BORED OF DOING THIS!!!! ;)

Oh, and TMOTBQ is Terrrrrrrrrific!! How did you get that ending?
Are those screams isolated from the original version or are they from somewhere else? Just perfect.

Hi everyone. I'm just a few hours to finish CD 3. Sadly, I'm going be far from home for a week. When I return, I'll read everyone's suggestions and upload the album finally.
Meanwhile, I'll let you here "The March of the Black Queen (Enhanced Mix)". This is the main idea of CD 3, something between a "Cosy Fireside" mix and a Stripped mix. Oh, everything would be sooooo different with the multitracks.
See you soon!

The screams comes from the standalone version of TMOTBQ, present in the Deep Cuts recopilation.

Hi everyone! Long time no read you. Thank you all for your comments!
I hope you really enjoyed CD 2 and fully enjoy CD 3. I could do it so much better with multitracks, but I work with the material that I have.
Oscar, fortunately, I won't charge for this mixes, since it's a work of love and I love to show what I've been discovering while working with this songs, this is for free sharing. But if there's a thing that annoys me is that I've seen my works "pirated" here and there sometimes, taking credit for it. This is an example that ruined my remix of 'New York' : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-72UxFMam9g but well...
KumoNin, I'll be uploading this album in MP3 "soon" (you know my "soons"), and I want to upload it all to YouTube to have playlists ready, when I have the time.
Hi, Cmi! Exactly as BootLuca said, if there's something that I hate about QII is that specific part. That piano doesn't fit and the bass panned to the right kills me. Matter of tastes hahaha.
BootLuca, it has always been hard to me to get to like the BBC versions due the rawness and the lack of care in the production (except for WQ), but I've put a lot of work to try to make some justice there. Those versions deserve a better mix. SwaFIB 2011 is not bad, but is overdubbed, harsh and the bass at the ending is out of time. I can't do much whith this source material, but I've tried my best. I like the final result, specially WQ. I simply love that version. I'm happy to know you liked them!
Thank you very much, GAP!
Pablo, thank you very much!! To give a different option to chose I incorporated too the standalone version of FtS with fade out, to make it less harsh. I prefer the abrupt ending hahaha. As Beta said, the isolated ending was taken from the 'Deep Cuts' version of the song.
I updated the notes, for those who want to read them. A philosophical and ethical part of me made me write some new stuff there.
