Have you ever heard live music that sounded like this?
Who in his right mind wants a stereo with this kind of ridiculously artificial sound?
If you’re reading this blog, I hope it’s not you, because you will never find a record on our site with sound this unnatural.
If you like the sound of an album such as Aerial Boundaries, then buy this speaker. It will make all your records sound just like it! It’s the perfect example of a pass/fail record, the way this speaker is an example of a pass/fail speaker.
Here is how we described the sound of Aerial Boundaries years ago:
It sounds as if someone went into the biggest room in the studio they could book, sat Michael Hedges down on a stool out in the middle of it, and then took all the mics and aimed them at the walls. Roll tape! (Assuming they used tape, who knows what kind of crap digital system they were using.)
And the best part is that it was nominated for an engineering Grammy!
If you think the average music lover today wouldn’t know good sound if it bit him in the ass, this album is proof that nothing has changed, not since 1984 anyway.
Some commentary I found on the web
Aerial Boundaries is the second album by guitarist Michael Hedges released on the Windham Hill label in 1984. It was nominated for a Grammy Award as Best Engineered Recording.
Music critic Daniel Gioffre, writing for Allmusic, wrote of the album “There are moments on Aerial Boundaries where it seems literally impossible that so much music is coming from one man and his guitar… The songs on Aerial Boundaries are all beautiful and haunting in their own right; and it is this emphasis on composition over technique that makes this such an important recording… Aerial Boundaries is simply one of the finest acoustic guitar albums ever made, and deserves a place in the library of all serious music fans.”
