They choose the best Dutch punksong ever and made it their own. Fantastisch.

Great cover Joost

My ideal version would have bits from both, but overall I like the choices on Return Trip better. The mixing is clearer (or maybe I just don't like the loudness of the original) and there is more separation of the instruments so the bass and drums stick out more. I also think Trevor's voice has more character and Benoit, while a good singer, is a Jon Anderson clone (same with their current singer Jon Davison). The new lyrics are a nice addition to the RT version. However, the two changes that I really don't like on RT are in Part 2: Sad Night at the Airfield. First is how the drums and the momentum of the song completely stops after the lyric "that last intake / of air" whereas in the original version the rhythm continues. Second is how Trevor deleted Steve's slide solo from the end of the song. I really like that solo. So part 2 in the original is more consistent (despite the bpm changes) and more of a "rock" feel to it, where as the RT version is more dramatic (no pun intended).

I definitely prefer the 2011 Fly From Here overall. I honestly don't like the extra vocals in "Sad Night at the Airfield" on Return Trip. They're distracting and they make the song less atmospheric and emotional than the 2011 version. Furthermore, as much as I adore Trevor Horn, his voice is no longer the same as it was back in the 1980s. Benoit's vocals are just so much stronger and more powerful, in my opinion (and this really shines through on the EP From a Page as well!).

Actually, the use of the outro of part one on the reprise of the RT version IS probably an hommage to Chris since it is the part, he wrote for "we can fly from here" during the Drama sessions.

Amazing video

About "Bumpy Ride", you didn't mention it but the high-hats are LOT louder and prominent, distractingly so, on the Return Trip version when compared to the original.

Thank you

Ist einfach kein wirklich gutes Album. 😢😢 Hat zu dieser Zeit den Namen YES schon nicht mehr verdient 😢😢

Thank you so much for the work you have done on this. I was surprised at the amount of subtle differences you highlighted which I just hadn’t picked up. A fascinating listen which made me appreciate the song more. Thanks again.

excellent Bass combos !!

This great! It could finally help me decide which version I like best.🤩

Thank you for providing this!! Great way to hear them side by side.

This was fascinating! Like everyone else, I wish we could combine elements of both, for the definitive!

I wish there was a mix of the original that features Chris’s vocals that are more prominent in the RT Version

Great to hear Annie again, almost 50 years after hearing her live at the Royal Albert Hall and Arjen is magnificent as always.

Great song and Great solo

Cheers from Russia! Ur fan ever.

Why did you remove this master piece from KZfaq?😥

Excellent job 👍🏻 such a jam

This is pure genius

Even if this is some kind of alternate universe, it’s still a bop ngl

Prachtig nummer Joost!

this mix: casual listening in the car original mix: going absolutely feral at 3am

Great! Magic! Etheric!

a bit disappointed that lori's solo is so undermixed

Dios, Anís se ve nervioso a más no poder, pobresito😂🖤

Great job ! Amazing video 🎶

Amazing video Joost

えぇえ…もっとのびるべき…This song is so underrated…( °_° )

Awesome track, great find.

Love that one!

It's nice to hear more of the instrumentals but... reverb? People deliberately enhance that? That said, it seems you achieved what you were going for, so good work

NTGM where are you?

neil is no longer off the shits in this one which is a loss but i enjoy hearing the bass easier

don't get why people don't like this, i like this...

Geweldig.

You have a wonderful voice, Joost!

Fantastisch!

What website?

When your trying to find the man that used to make Pogo Vlogs. Good music man ;)

This is awesome hearing 13 years later. Good memories! I was so honoured <3 greets, Cecilia (girl singing on this).

oh boy noel cicada

Nice one bro. Thanks for posting it!!!!!!!

Wow, thats really great and depicts the pedal well in this application. I have a signed copy of the re-release too. It's interesting to learn in the accompanying dvd (with Chris narrating thru the LP as it plays) that 'the Maestro Brassmaster sound is actually Patrick Moraz on synth. Chris suggests it may be one of the first electronic bass parts in recording history. What we don't know is whether Moraz is using the Maestro, or if that is the actual synth sound, or if the Maestro is heard with Chris' Jazz bass. Chris doesn't provide any greater depth explaining/recalling. Irregardless, you show the Black Cat (I have one too) replicates this part well on bass. Thank you for depicting it. Well done!

Amazing dude! Grandioso amigo! Saludos... Greetings. The entire song, please!

Entire song Pleaseee

Do you know where I can get the stems?
