TUESDAY september 8th ... thank you.

umm, have to disagree on this one.  tigermilk was recorded in three days
and i think the students at stow may have had a hand in the production
of the lp, which is why it differs to "..sinister".  stuart is very
particular when it come to production. he insists on doing it himself
and it often leads to the levels being all over the place as he refuses
to let any compression be added to the tracks at the mastering stage.  i
think the new album has a fuller sound to it because he has had the
experience of "...sinister" (which was recorded and mixed in 10 days)
and it parts it sounds quite lost and maybe even tinny (to my ears
anyway).  the new album took about 6 months to record and a further 6
months to mix and even though that may seem tedious and long-winded, the
album has definitely benefitted from the time spent in the studio, as it
sounds fantastic!  (sorry to keep going on about it everyone!)

that's it for me ... do you really want a track by track description of
the album?

cheers,
Katrina.
