Electric Hellfire Club—Burn, Baby, Burn! At it's core this is a pretty good faux-satanic, somewhat psychedelic electro-industrial album, but unfortunately the production blows. This is a type of music that really requires terrific production but this album is muddy as hell. There is no sparkle to the high-end whatsoever, the beats are flat sounding, the guitars sound like they were recorded in a bathroom, the vocals lack any kind of crispness and the samples are completely buried under everything else. |

Boris by Yezda Urfa.
Excellent folky/symphonic prog album (Yes being the strongest influence), marred only by awful production, it sounds like it was recorded in an outhouse, verry muddy, thin and hissy. It was recorded in 1975 but the production quality makes it sound like it could have been made in the late 50s. Though this was an album that never evolved from the demo stage (the band never managaed to finish it) which is the big reason for it's poor audio quality as it's not technically a finished album, in fact it was not officially released until 2004 when it was remastered but even then it still has a very tin can sound. Though some might say that gives it raw authenticity and indie kids may dig it but dammit this is prog, and prog is supposed to be grand and this is an album where the excellent music is there, so it deserves hi fi treatment. The reissues have bonus tracks and for some reason the production quality is WAY better than what's on the actual album. Last edited by boo boo; 07-10-2010 at 07:34 AM. |
