Embarrassing to say, but I have been listening and relistening to the studio songs on Tori Amos, "Venus Orbiting" for weeks now. I was not much of a fan of Tori Amos in the past, but I am completely impressed by her singing and composing here and especially by the recording and mixing done at Martian Engineering, in Cornwall, England, and I wish more popular CDs were produced like this. The recording mixes female vocals, acoustic piano, with a rock rhythm ensemble, and alot of strange sounds that are flown in at different points. The vocals are reproduced very directly, with alot of sibilants and breathing, and lip sounds. The time delay and reverb processing and the different phase-shift treatments are ex-orbital--like the sounds that you would expect from a satellite circling Venus or Mars. Does anyone know what equipment Martian Engineering uses?
what is everybody listening to right now
I wasn't really sure where to post this so here goes. What cds ( as I do not currently listen to vinyl ) are people spinning in their ssytems. (heavy rotation) Currently I have been Chris Cornells (one l or two I can't remember) solo recording "euphoric morning"
