*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* In response to a couple of things Andy posted... Barbara Ellen has fashioned an entire career out of being profoundly wrong about every single significant musical event of the past 10 years. I could give examples, but I can't be bothered. 'Boy-scout production' ? It's practically audiophile, for God's sake. Deaf *and* stupid. (I really shouldn't be quite so riled by ignorant rockcrits, but this is Belle And Sebastian and I *refuse* to see the other point of view). The woman at Our Price (Victoria station branch - 7:45am !) had trouble swiping the bar-codes on my CD and cassette copies too - eventually resorted to processing dummy cases that they seemed to have stacked on the shelves next to the actual albums. Which leaves us facing the prospect of enormous first-week sales and no chart position whatsoever. How very B&S. No precious 180g black slabs yet though - they "don't do vinyl" here in Crawley...

I have no idea what "Boy-scout production" is supposed to sound like, but I disagree with both descriptions. To my ears, the recordings and mixes are clear and detailed, but all hark back to the "warm" tone of about 30 years ago -- which is to say, "vintage". Should I know the producer from other work? --Mark __ <http://www.xnet.com/~mkolmar/BurningRome> <MPEG & RA audio clips> Imminent: SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 "The electricity is no better off than on." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
