According to Orbit's twitter, he is revisiting his mix and summed up his failure with the phrase "technical thing".
Am on it. Is a technical thing. Stay frosty. — William Orbit (@WilliamOrbit) [url=https://twitter.com/WilliamOrbit/status/514083419517882368]September 22, 2014[/url]

Saw that last night. Some HEAVY criticisms. Unfortunately very few actually discussed what was wrong about it. I read that on his FB page
Forgive me but is it possible to PM him on twitter?
I have a feeling we will get the same mix but with the center channel boosted. Maybe someone could give him some constructive feedback?

Yes it is possible to twitt him as usual but PM... It's an option if you're friends with him on Twitter. If not, try Facebook, it shouldn't be a problem.

The other problem with it, aside from the vocal issues, is that Brian's guitar work is some of his worst.

Whole thing is a fucking shambles. Directionless and, ultimately, embarrassing.

It's not a great track in the first place, Freddie & Michael's voices sound awful together and all the instrumental stuff Brian and Roger added is crap. It's hard to see how Orbit could have made this any worse, but he did.

And then having the absolute gall to say Freddie and Michael would have been thrilled....
Thrilled at something neither of them wanted released, and sounding nothing like Freddie intended?

The only way it could've been improved from the Mr Bad Guy version is by replacing the snyth-strings with real strings (or perhaps more realistic sounding ones, which wouldn't be hard to do these days) and updating the drum sound.
That's it.

Hehe. I also remember him twitting about the new mix at some point and boasting how Freddie's and Michael's voices were "blasting out" of the speakers . I bet the guy won't touch any big duets for a decade to come (should he get such an offer, of course ;-))

It'll be too late to change the album as it will have gone to press by now.

I'm curious what is Freddie's estate (Mary + Jim Beach and co.) opinion on this. We know for sure that Jim Beach suggested that Brian and Roger should rework Love kills, so basically thanks to him we can hear this new arrangement which was of course also performed during the Q+Al tour.

Yes unless they stop the presses, destroy them, a few slip out onto the market (there is your collectors item!) and then make a new pressing.
