From: spirit stiff, fenfenfen@hotmail.com Subject: initially aent Date: 2/7/2002 3:27:33 PM To: seance@lists.no-fi.com well. a day after. 2 listens back to back last evening. more to come this evening. at first listen. hmmm? at second listen. ahhhh. and i imagine it will continue like that. as far as my take on the mix. to me (as i believe someone else mentioned), it is transparent, nothing like HOB. for those of you who think this is muddy, may i suggest an ear cleaning? no disrespect intended. i think these songs are minimal compared to HOB as far as layers and mix is concerned. though not sacrificing any beauty. packaging. very interesting. layout for the song listing is nice. anyone catch the physical shift of the letters, from left to right, the way it's laid out? also on the layout. when one has the card open, the way the songs are listed...1-5 on left side and 6-10 on right side. 1 matching 6, 2 matching 7, etc. i think the album was sequenced that way...like mini singles laid out, side one and side two, vinyl style. hope that makes sense, what im trying to convey. at first listen didnt like after everything, second listen proved better. and awful ache, i like the 3/4 intro/break, and the rest of the body of the song, still digesting the 2 of them together though. the rest were ringing immediately. goodnight to all. love and light. fen. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
