#Prince #1999Deluxe **INITIAL THOUGHTS - MEGATHREAD**

So, as most folks will know by now, the album leaked yesterday. I think folks are still digesting it, and rightly so, but here's a few initial thoughts.
The remastered album sounds great. I'd like to test it on a variety of systems but on my studio monitors it's very evenly done and exactly what I expected to hear. Finally I can be comfortable dropping album tracks into a live DJ set without relying on fanmade remasters!
But... here's a hot take. In the future, I'd like to hear the tracks with a fresh mix. Some folks would abhor this - but I'll point out that doing this wouldn't replace the OG mixes. This has been done well in the past - see the 2013 Steve Albini mixes of "In Utero" by Nirvana.
