I would love to hear it remixed, but also never get tired of playing it just as it is. It marks a place in time for me.The rack tom on this album cracks me up. I think the kit he was using was something like 10/12/20 with a 12" snare, everything tuned comically high. Sounded great, but very idiosyncratic.
