NO CARRIER
(don't cha hate it when you get cut off mid thought?)
any artist could go into "bob's big discount studio" and crank out a
nice sterile sounding album ala kenny g. easier than a person can put out
something that sounds warm and alive and organic. what us the point in
cranking the levels of a mix to their absolute hottest? Is it written
somewhere that there's a certain way an album should sound just because
the technology exists to make it sound that way?
Its not just a retro thing either. its a true musical progression in my
opinion.
oh and coincidentally my vote for "easy like sunday morning tune of 95"
goes to the digables "for corners" as well.
just a thought
