Also, damn, I should do something for this.  I worship The Kinks.

Yeah, I can understand if it's not for everyone, and I certainly think it's the best thing I've done, but I assumed not everyone would share my opinion.  I do think people disappointed by this EP will be into the next thing because it's not a whole lot like this stylistically, though it will build on it in many ways as far as recording technique, use of other instruments, etc.

Roboctopus: Thanks! All of the "drum kit" sounding percussion was done with LSDJ, mostly WAV channel and the key to making those sounds bigger was definitely as I said heavy compression/gating/EQ; I love the sound of LSDJ kits.  And yeah, that's exactly what I was going for with that mix, I have a bit of a love/hate thing with early stereo mixes, some of them are god awful and disorienting, but when they were done right some were just fantastic and used the stereo field in a much more adventurous and interesting way than today's mixes.  I've thought a lot about trying a mono mix just for the challenge, I think it would be a lot of fun, I'm much more into stereo mixes 90% of the time (we've got two ears, don't we?), but some mono mixes have such depth that you wouldn't want it any other way, Spector's stuff, Joe Meek's productions, etc.

Pieces of Eight: Yes, that should be coming out early-mid September, once I spend the time to properly mix it for release, it's basically done.

Thanks again to everyone!

EDIT: Almost forgot, thanks Feryl for the great write-up

Thanks guys and yes, she IS very talented, I think the cover is perfect; I can also assure you her rates are very affordable if anyone is interested in commissioning some form of artistry.

But of course I am only jesting.  Except that I actually do like horse.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone, the GB is still there, he just doesn't sound like himself sometimes.  Hpizzle: thanks, home recorded, mixed and "mastered".  Ant1: Your comment dismays me, explain?

No one cares that these covers weren't created on actual hardware, they care that the covers are totally uninspired with regard to sound design and arrangement.  Also, that's what I care about too, but I don't actually care much.
