I can't understand this at all. The 2005 remaster is drenched in echo/reverb/phaser effects. It's so bad it's like a deliberate joke. And only the remaster is on Tidal or Qobuz.

This is a remix, not only a remaster. I never heard this song, but I agree it bears very little resemblance to the original version. Sounds like some kind of trolling to be honest…
Yes, it does sound like trolling. But that's the only version in the streaming services.

The whole album got this treatment.
