Mercury Rev - The Delta Suite Revisited
|
best thread ;-) without a doubt. great people.
Lilly Hiatt - Lately |
I just ran thru both Warfield discs and there are significant mix differences- I would call it a wash - disc 1 more acoustic with air and space, harmonics ( and fret noise ) but with a lack of punch and vocals not at best level. disc 2 not as subtle but much better vocal level ( but as is typical of Dead weak in spots), bass articulate and in pocket. Not as much spatial information especially with percussion - much more Pianonin mix may be driving that. The acoustic guitars have much better low end body on disc 2
keeping them both !!!

@bdp24 I have been enjoying the Evan Johns you sent me ! I got it ripped to flash memory and play it thru a AQ Jitterbug right into front panel of the Naim. I love it :-) the drummer creates the pocket - I will get the CD and notes sent to @slaw the next destination....
