Each to their own but for me So Red The Rose is one of the best albums of the decade - on every level. The side project to rule them all 🙌🏻

normally the 80s' night versions are the best. but in arcadias case, it just took bad songs, and made them longer. which was weird, because the promise was the only good thing from them, and it was already extended on the album, with no real extended version. the 12 mix was shorter. later -1 That maybe the case, but we’re talking about the consensus mix of Election Day, which is appreciated (and understood) more by watching the video in unison and listening with a little more bass than normal - and volume turned up loud. I’ve always found Arcadia to be more of a visual artist with the greatest soundtrack ever. As an art project, yes, they did an excellent job with the visuals. The videos are striking, the clothes are fantastic, and everything else that goes along with a project. compared to the power station, which looks like a poor mans nagel with simplistic repeated images and outlines of women, arcadia definitely did have a huge advantage there. however, to me the music is also a part of the package, and when its lacking or subpar, it brings it down to a lesser level for me. later -1

The French mix of Violence Of Summer, if it were released for commercial purpose instead of promotional, would had put the track in a proper level. and of course, excluding the Brown eyes mixes that did not help much.

Hell, all the Election Day mixes are amazing. Well...ok, the "Early Rough Mix" was a little disappointing, but still. Think we'll ever see any additional SRTR "lost mixes" or additional "lost material"?

Think we'll ever see any additional SRTR "lost mixes" or additional "lost material"? There was an unreleased mix of The Promise on the 25th Anniversary edition, so hopefully by the 40th (2025) or 50th anniversaries we'll get to hear "an untitled instrumental which we never actually did a final mix of because at the time, there wasn’t enough space on the vinyl to make the album any longer."

Thanks Oakey, I'd forgotten about the Serious unreleased 7". Not too bad, it reminds me of a Blondie beat, - kind of half disco - what I call a rub-a-dub pop beat. It sounds similar to the VOS French remix in that regard - tumble-drier beat.
It hasnt aged too well and I doubt it would have encouraged the single to sell many more copies.
