A Record Better Suited to the Stone Age Stereos of the Past
If this isn’t the perfect example of a pass/fail record, I don’t know what would be.
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.
