Splash [Early Version]

Let's talk about this new leak.

I prefer it to the version we've had for so long.

It feels more.... urgent. Without all the orchestral arrangements.

Thoughts?

It's a song I've always really loved.

I'm guessing the NPGMC release had some production done on it in 1998/1999 when he was putting together Roadhouse Garden, but I could be wrong.

The newly leaked version is more stripped down so the piano stands out more. The only thing i'm not so sure about on the earlier version is there is a strange kind of sound in the outro, reminds me of a honking goose a bit, which is buried on the NPGMC version, but really stands out on this version.

I'd never noticed it before.

As too which I prefer I really couldn't say, maybe the new version as it has more dynamics.

Wait--okay.

.

There's a full Traffic Jam, a new Splash, and (if I understood correctly something I saw) a better Moonbeam Levels? What else? And why can't I find them!!!

.

I'm usually so good at this.

.

Okay, tell me more--how's it different?

I like it. Less production / more organic.

"I like to watch."

The version you have is not that different. That version is this version but with more production.

If you listen carefully it is on the Npgmc version too, just buried.
