― haitch, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

yay!

― ☪, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

I just ordered Hammer of Thor. I like it.

to jump in late on the smile chat:

the problem i have with the 2004 version is that it has sooooo much distance. it almost sounds like the broadway version of what might have been awesome.

i have a couple of odd bootlegs, but only on cassette...ill see if i can get back to them and digitize.

its very hard to sort out "the best take" given all the assorting takes i have. plus, i tink it ends up as a very personal thing. certain takes of certain tracks have more resonance for odd regions. i personally liked smile for its odd tensions and strange musical "narative" that wound oddly between tracks. while the 2004 is lovely, it lacks that emotional tension and trades too highly on fancy sound for my taste

thanks thanks thanks dan!

no problem. I like that album a lot, even though some people write it off because of it's super glossy production.

nice. I love how it's got elements of a stormer (the sirens + drums + twisty fx on the bassline) but at the same time the kbd tune is really melancholy and winds its way through not completely on the beat ... like it covers a bar and a half. something like that.

― dmr, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

it's the melancholy that gets me. always.

jess: distance in a sentient sort of way. i find this to be the problem in most "modern recording". music just feels farther away..displaced, plasitc, unreal. its mostly a production issue, and one that plenty of people get crumudgeonly about. i know they went back and used old equipment and so forth, so perhaps its the fultof the players. i dunno. i know i spoke more (and more clearly) on this on ilm when the thing came out...

strangely, i was thinking about this last night. on the way home i was listening to hawkwind, but then popped out to read in the backyard of a local bar. the fuckers there were playing som wretched def leopardy cover of "radar love". again, while the performance itself was kinda flat and canned..the recording itself was canned to a greater extent. but the biggest turn off was the upfront, but not-of-this-world-nature of the recording. hawkwind: not-of-this-world, but also more human, less distanced from an understandable, phyisical experience.

someday ill learn to express this idea well. this is what i get for almost never writing record reviews these days...

― bb, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

I barely know what compression is but don't a lot of people blame "too much compression" for that unreal / modern / plastic feel in newer recordings?

― dmr, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

yep..and often its ture and often its someone who doesnt understand drawing at straws.

i actually have a piece in the works about compression..but the thing got blown up in a conversation with a freind last fri...need to draw the pieces back in..stay on target

also, thanks to Tofu for that Gospel Harmonettes album. & I'm more into rare albums / single tracks / things you can't find in stores or itunes on this thread as well, I think we got a break after the YSI crackdown because no one even knew what any of this stuff was

― Milton Parker, Thursday, 10 May 2007 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

hey dudes, i looked past yr posts. sorry.

Ossian was a group of Polish jazz musicians who decided to take up (mostly) non-Western instruments in the late 70s and make some great proggy folk shit. the record that the track above is taken from is a bit more 'exotic' in sound than others, but all of them have a similar feel. i think three re-issues have been done of their stuff and are available, but i first heard them on some vinyl i got in Krakow a while back.

if yr interested, i'll upload the rest of 'Ksiega Chmur' (Book of Clouds) and the 'Roots' record tonight.
