Does anyone have any
thoughts about the sound on Blue Sky Mining?
Yup. It is consistent
throughout, if a little over produced.
I like it and it has good songs, but I have always wished that the
productions and sound wasn't so polished. I would really like if it was
a bit more raw. Something like the albums from early eighties or Spices
and Deceases.
Yeah agreed...it is extremely polished a-la Red Sails and Diesel however
everything from 10-1 through to and including self titled Ghosties with the
exception of Species is very polished. We then have ESM, Fuzz, Second Skin
which are all a little rough around the edges. ESM and Place remain my
fave albums. The flip side is Breathe which although a better album imho
than Redneck deserved to sound much better than it does.
Blue Sky Minding was produced by Warne Livesey, and I read somewhere
that he wanted this album to sound smooth and policed. (He produced
Diesel and Dust also, and that album sounds much better, not so
polished
like BSM.) I wonder how the BSM album would have sounded with
Nick Launay
who produced 10-1, Red Sails and the Dead Heart track in
1986. Maybe it
wouldn't have sold so much, or maybe it would have, but
sounded better
(IMOO)
Diesel and BSM are very similar in sound imho..as polished if you like as
each other. Both sound great if a little over produced. The lads
went back to Launay for the completely orsm ESM
best,
