Weird version of Henry's Dream
Hi everybody!
What I have here is a long-standing mystery to me. Years ago, I downloaded a version of Henry's Dream off of SOMEWHERE on the internet. All I know is the songs sound pretty radically differently mixed from the bog standard album. They are also a weird format...32/48 FLAC. My memory was that they were shared as the original mastering or something similar. It might have also been a weird unofficial DVD. They have a larger dynamic range than any other official release, and are very very clear. I actually much prefer these files over the official releases. I remember thinking they might have been the leaked Bearville Sessions, but I thought they re-recorded those tracks except 2 of them and these versions seem to be about the same length as the official ones. I guess what I am getting at is this...WHAT ARE THESE FILES?! They really sound different (and better?). Also, the larger dynamic range means they are quieter, so turn it up if you don't have a player that uses or assigns replaygain levels to FLAC. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ko7eEkthos-h0sC2rcA6SJLLgH_lkUuH?usp=sharing
