Everything is cyclical but, hopefully, not in this case.

They're not supposed to lean either way.

He put out an album called Gravelands about 20 years ago. It's actually very listenable.

Filling and matching would be a pain. Perhaps transparency would work?

I don't mind them but generally lean towards not having them. When they're used to facilitate cheap and crap manufacturing processes, often on quite expensive instruments though, that's unforgivable

Top job, well deserved, that synth line is fantastic 🙂👍🏻

You don't need to imagine, there are plenty of links in the thread.

I'll LOOK OUT for it!

Focus is fretless Kubicki with some Chapman Stick. The Pestilence and initial Atheist sessions were a couple of years before Focus was recorded, around the same time Masvidal and Reinert were doing Human and Gobel was playing on Imperial Doom. Choy left to join Atheist full-time for Elements.

You could replicate the effect by setting up an amp in the corner, at full volume, plug in a guitar and just leave it to feedback?

To me, it sounds like you've got lots of really low lows (say anything below 90Hz) in there and not much in the way of low mids in that song. Phones (and a lot of contemporary domestic audio equipment) don't do low lows. you've got to have a decent representation of the frequencies above them to come across on all kinds of equipment.

I'll bet he even laughs out of tune, too.

The same or worse than you got for 20 quid in 1999? His live solo efforts have been all trough, zero peak.

Lovely, reminds me of Doug Wimbish's 5 string Spector. It's genuine wear and tear, though, don't cheapen it by calling it a relic. It's the real deal.

I've lived with the CD for a week and love it. It's not a night and day difference, just a little warmer and clearer, to my ears. Less reverb, more detail.

Surely the age of the song is irrelevant if it's a good song?

I should have seen that coming.

Well, there'll be no talking coming out of me for the rest of the evening 😄 The song: I could empathise with the lady in the picture. As a youth, I had many an adventure which seemed like a great idea to start off with, but quickly sped beyond my control and ended with blood loss. Something fast and violent seemed appropriate. The techy stuff: Same as usual. Yamaha drums into Behringer gear. Bass was a Bacchus Jazz into some hearty distortion. Guitars were a Bacchus strat and a Tokai 335, run into an Avid Eleven. Lots of downstrokes died in the recording of this song. Vocals squaked out this evening and now I need a nice cup of tea and some rest. All mashed together in ProTools.

No. It's just that some people are mental.

I'm in the same boat. Vocals are proving... ehhh... problematic, let's say. Everything else is done. Two days to sort it out. Let's go! 🤣
