Dusty---interesting chain of events. I was just listening to the Thile/Daves recording this afternoon, then saw your post about Antifogmatic, then this. In terms of sound quality, the Thile/Daves album is simply awful. Thile is a bonafide genius without peer. What a disappointment the SQ was on this album. If you like what they did together....you've no doubt seen some of the incredible live videos them on youtube etc. Also look up their 2011 live Newport Folk Festival performance which is available as a NPR podcast if you haven't already. A brilliant duo.
Poorly Recorded - Chris Thile & Michael Daves
Has anyone listened to the Chris Thile & Michael Daves collaboration "Sleep With One Eye Open"? I read that it was a great audiophile recording, just popped it in my CD player, and I was legitimately worried my speakers were broken, it was that bad.
Was it recorded on "old timey" equipment with a single mic? Has anyone else listened to this? It's very strange, because all of Nickel Creek's (Chris Thile's first band) albums sound fantastic.
