You know I never really understood the purpose (?) of Basic Channel‘s Mutism, why did you mention it here?

Had a listen to “Hold Me” recently, there is a blending between Lindsey’s and Christine’s voice that is the most magical mesh of two human voices, you cant tell who is singing what at times…witchy…!..love it

Aja and Rumours were both released in 1977.
Late 70’s was probably the the peak moment for analog studio recordings, before things became digital.

I remember being impressed by front 242 evil up / up evil …I think they’re called
Lots of nice gated female vocals.
Previous to those they reminded me of Amiga demo music.
Idk what it is but Rumors doesnt move me much. I think maybe over saturation.
But Tusk? My god. Absolute masterpiece. Capital A Artistry that they could be going through all that and still manage to get a record out let alone something line Tusk.

I know it’s a whole album and you asked for a track but the whole thing is mastered so well I put it in as a whole.
the pink floyd albums from the 70s are brilliant, especially dark side of the moon and wish you where here
micheal Jacksons Thriller is also timeless
from recent years in electronic kraftwerks 3d katalog has reference quality
and the remastered box from oscar peterson - exclusivly for my friends
to avoid:
all albums by metallica, rick rubin,
colors from beck
remixes of st. peppers and the white album from the beatles

I just like to compare my tracks to a reference of something but I dont think there is a “this was mastered/mixed better than this…etc”… I feel mixing and mastering specially today is just as much a creative process as is the composing part of music.
I do feel that every decision has to be intentional, aside from that its just a preference of sound in my opinion. As an example labels like Stones Throw have a very specific sound to their albums and is more stylistically than it is following the standards of mixing/mastering.
RIGHT? I cant be the the only one who thinks those new Beatles mixes are a bit extra, a bit glossy. Or maybe I’m old. Sgt Peppers esp: the charm of the original mix is gone; as if they had produced it today in a DAW.
And f*** Rick Rubin. Ruined mixing.
