Hello BCers

I just the myspace page sorted out for this funk band I've just joined - it's pretty cool, the recording was done totally live in the studio with no overdubs - I'm using my Thumb bass (the Sei wasn't completed at the time)let me know what you reckon - and thanks for listening - we'll be gigging soon so I'll let you know when and where...

Cheers

Mike

Yes! Listened to it yesterday, again today. All the better for having been done live and a damn good recording too. Cracking stuff urb. Rhythm section sorted, space for all the other instruments and vocals to fit into the mix - excellently done sir!

Snicks.

Edit: It's just struck me - the recording sounds reminds me of the punch and clarity Grace Jones got on the 'Living my Life' album.

Yeah it helped that the drummer is a pro guy with a great kit - I think it was a Yamaha with a set of gorgeous new Zildjian cymbals but the engineer did a superb job of miking the kit - the sound in the room was good as well - which from a technical POV that the room isn't too heavily sound proofed as a really dry sound can make things sound dead, there was plenty of 'air' around the mics so it all helped get a great sound from the kit - I think it was on about eight or so channels so it was a pretty thorough recording.

Jamie - look forward to hearing you new tunes soon.

Mike
