At least I don't have to worry that one of my neighbors may have the CD. When a substitute postal worker delivers our mail we never know who is going to get what.

Magpel Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Just got mine and finished a first, semi-attentive listen to it. Well, after surviving the predictably vain first response--"my mix sounds so muffled compared to everyone else's"--I got on with the business of enjoying this terrific compilation. There is some wild stuff here. Good for us. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some wild stuff here. Good for us.Personally, John, I thought the mix of your tune was excellent, and lended flavor to a very clever arrangement. I played the covers CD last night for a friend whose studio I'm using for a current jingle project. At first, I told him that I wasn't happy the my mix. He told me that I was out of my freaking mind. I'll defer to his opinion. He was blown away by the CD as a whole. Since I was the first one with an overly self critical post on the mixing topic, I propose a moratorium on overanalyzing our own work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Z. Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Ahhhh, finally 2 seconds to sit down and tell everybody what a GREAT job they did on this CD. I've listened to a LOT of compilation CDs, and I have to say this ranks up at the top. I'm proud to be a part of this group.

Dave I must admit that I'd actually never heard this tune before but you deserve a grammy on the shear technical excellence of your recording.

Magpel Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Now that the disc has been riding with me in the car for a few days, what a real pleasure it is. I wish there were a Leblanc on it, a Steadyb, a Tusker, but beyond that, no gripes here. Those guys will be back on board next time. I'm enjoying practically every tune, but here are a couple of observations from my last listen. --It takes cajones to cover a Gentle Giant song and "mad skills" to pull it off. --The woman spooging at the beginning of Lincoln's Macarena is....impressive. --There is some virtuouso sequencing in effect throughout the disk. Bucktunes, Gus, Mzeger, aforementioned bg, Busch, and many more: attention to detail is both inspiring and daunting. --Dan did a very close study of Stewart Copeland. --The groove of Laurie's Greensleeves is very cool and just a little weird. --Dave's Genesis cover is F$#%ing Huge. I don't know how else to describe it. --Cameron, I can listen to you sing all day. I'll stop here, though my appreciation of the tunes doesn't. I'll come back for chapter two after the next couple of listens. John Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderton Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 HEY DAVE -- GREAT JOB!! Well, actually that goes for everyone involved, but as the Father of the Keyboard Corner Compilation Concept, compliments are due! I've already listened to it twice. What's weird is that despite the diversity of tunes, it all hangs together in some strange way. Maybe it's the forum collective unconscious coming to the fore. Speaking of getting tunes out, I'm now posting a new tune every 2-4 weeks on http://www.craiganderton.com. If you hear anything you want to use in a compilation, let me know.

chris c Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Received mine this past weekend ... thanks, Dave. Have given it one listen through and revisited a couple tunes. I'm very impressed with the quality overall, and inspired to try to bring some of my own noodling about at home up to that level. Hopefully, I'll be able to submit something for the next time around.

lrossmusic Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Posted by Magpel Now that the disc has been riding with me in the car for a few days, what a real pleasure it is. I AGREE! Love the feel on "Jockey Full of Bourbon". Dan, your vocals work beautifully on "Walking On The Moon". BurningBusch, "Deja Vu" is very, very nice. I'll be back as I zero in more and more since in my case I've never heard the original versions of most fo this material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan South Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Originally posted by lrossmusic: Dan, your vocals work beautifully on "Walking On The Moon". Thanks, Lincoln! That's very kind...and generous. My vocals are usually the weakest link in the production chain. Glad you enjoyed the tune, though. I mixed it in a rush and am now wishing that I'd added more reverb along the way.

b_3guy Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I received mine yesterday. Impressive display of talent! I too will post a report when I get a minute to do so. I too thought Dan South's vocals should be up more in the mix. Maybe vocals are not your strong suit, but I always think of it as "character". Don't be shy.

Sorry I haven't been able to post more complete observations myself, but I'm preparing for a 3-week trip to the Pacific NW. Hopefully, will have a little time to participate from up there. BTW, I also agree that my version of "What Child/Greensleeves" is a little weird. The story behind that was that everyone left me alone for a few minutes while I tried a new take on a very old song. I have always played this song fairly classically/traditionally, and quite honestly, was trying to do something different for each of the standard songs on the album. As it turns out, the "latin" groove (which, btw, the QS8 and Q-card made a piece of cake) really added something completely different to the final result. When I play it live (we toured immedately after the album was released during the holidays last year), I lay a piano improvisation over the top, and it works so well, I kind of wish I had thought of that when we were recording the tune...it's a lot of fun to play. See you from Washington! lz www.lauriez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 My Favorite of the day: Gulliver's (Abracdabra's) cover (No More I love You's). Man that thing is a production tour de force. It really rocks. Upon receiving the CD, I didn't know that it was Gulliver; thought it was just some ringer that didn't post here much but had a cover track he wanted to get on a CD. Excellent work, Mr. Gulliver man. What a sonic and rhythmic treat. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTempo Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 All songs were brilliantly done. Magnificent!! I agree with Llarion--"Deja Vu" all the way, with "The Light Dies Down on Broadway" and "Love the One You're With" tied in second place. A five-way tie for third place with "Macarena," "No More 'I Love You's," "Streetbeater," "Jockey Full of Bourbon" and "Walking On the Moon".
