2nd DRI, Now with added shouting!
New Chameleon
I noticed that Chameleon was re-released digitally on May 15, now by Universal rather than the original Spinnup label. I first dismissed as just a re-release but after careful investigation by yours truly I spotted a difference compared to the original released (and 2CD) version.
At 0:59, 1:05, 1:48 and 1:53 there seems to be a bloke shouting who wasn’t available for the original recording. So ladies, gentlemen and anoraks, we have a new version.

  1. Which digital platform did you find the 'new' version on Jan? I've checked both iTunes and Deezer and can't hear the 'added shouting' bits...

  2. Spotify and amazon.de (in the 30 sec soundclip at 0.12) have it. I'm not talking Hatari like shouting though, just a "hey" after the word Chameleon (if that helps)
