Asia - 'The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (Parts I & II)' (Reconstructed Original Arrangement)

Audio track of the original arrangement of Asia's "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (Parts I & II)," carefully re-constructed from various archival studio recordings. "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes" written by John Wetton 1982 The original John Wetton / Geoffrey Downes demo was recorded in Los Angeles, CA in early June of 1982. In February of 1983, while tracking material for Asia's second album, ALPHA, at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Canada, John Wetton, Geoffrey Downes, Steve Howe, and Carl Palmer recorded "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (Parts I & II)." The band ultimately decided to abandon this extended track and in April of 1983, they re-recorded a more concise version for release on ALPHA. The track, as presented here, was painstakingly assembled from archival studio recordings of different reference mixes to showcase, as closely as possible, the most complete arrangement of "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (Parts I & II)" This video contains a collection of video snippets of the original band edited to show the vitality of this short-lived era of the band. TECHNICAL NOTES: This is a "Frankenstein" version of the original band arrangement of "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes" written by John Wetton in 1982 for Geoffrey Downes. This track was painstaking assembled from archival studio recordings of different reference mixes -- each with relative levels out of context. Each tape had to be speed/time aligned to the best reference track available before attempting to try to phase cancel and mid/side mixing to extract a buried vocal or keyboard, for example, in order to mix the resulting track. In addition, each clip had to be EQ'd to match as closely as possible the released track so it could dovetail into the only part of the released recording used on this track... the final end-tag.... "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes." There are multiple edits and a lot of mixing the various parts to counter overly-loud or soft elements all while ensuring drums/keyboard are aligned and not phasing. This involved many sections to keep each separate track from slightly drifting. While not perfect, it is the closest to the originally intended arrangement of the unfinished studio recordings.
