I caught myself listening to a really good interview with Captain Sensible of the Damned on Radio Live on Sunday morning. The Damned are playing tonight (Wednesday) here in Auckland. I’m not going. The interviewer, Graham Hill asked the Captain what he thought about the punk bands of the 2000 movement. Yer Green Days and the likes. The captain naturally did not think highly of them at all. He said the problem was all the studios use ProTools. A software program that takes all the rough edges off recordings. This the captain said leaves a very processed sound. So I listened to a couple of songs off YOR. Now I’m not an audiophile, nor do I have a lovely German stereo, but is this ProTools the problem with modern Morrissey? He says he wants to produce a “wall of sound” but often he and his producers have been criticised by having made bad mixes with the recordings. Certainly listening to the drums they all sound a bit tame and somewhat turned down.
An irrelevant post, I know. Incidentally I’m off to see the splendid Kitty, Daisy and Lewis next week. Their last album the gloriously titled “Smoking in Heaven”* was recorded on 1950’s analogue equipment. I truly love anything vintage and in working order. Old cars, cameras watches, librarians. Plus the girls in the band are sultry and Lewis is a dapper dresser.
