Production Notes

This will be a brief outline of the gear used, the recording settings, and any other notes that I may remember or may be available. I didn't start keeping a folder of EQ settings and the like until I was 2/3rds of the way through the first album, so this is as much for my benefit as it is for yours. Note, where I mention EQ settings, these are always at Q=1, unless otherwise noted, and EQ was always done upon mixdown to a stereo pair, never at time of recording. Unless I did do it at the time of recording, in which case, "never" doesn't apply.

TitleQuick Description
2Fingers (heroin mix)It's... Alterna-ballady. Can't think of any comparisons.
Blurb:Mellow, lots of room, 7 minutes, some interesting dynamics, heroin mix is waaay downtempo. More vocal tracks than you can shake a stick at, and some are in tune!
Chance EncounterIt's... Shuffle Blues, with that Chris twist. Stevie Ray meets Chuck Berry meets a gazillion shuffle blues players.
Blurb: Simple, catchy, fun. Has a nice idiomatic solo, or so I've been told.
Learning 2 BreatheIt's...Rock/Pop. Beatles, Oasis, Radiohead, Lenny Kravitz influences
Blurb:Uplifting, pretty, and dynamic, with an intimate vocal sound. Has a Beatles-esque riff in there!
LiftedIt's... Surf Funk. Hey, a new genre all my own. Some rock influences. Can't think of a comp.
Blurb: Upbeat, dynamic, fun, kinda dancy. My first drum lead!

n? MarmaladeIt's... a groove instrumental. Brand New Heavies, Graham Central Station, etc.
Blurb: Funky, dancy, in an old-school R&B way. Only live playing going on here, no samplers, no dj's, no bullocks.
Needs Mo' SaltIt's... Funk/groove/fusion/rock in the Parliament/Funkadelic mode with a N'awlins twist (Galactic, etc.). I've also been told it's Zappa-esque.
Blurb: Kinda wacky, kinda funny, definitely fun. See how many pop culture references you can spot.
OpinionIt's...Funk/Pop. James Brown-meets 3SP.
Blurb: Funny, funky, upbeat, cynical... always a party favorite. Hey, a tamborine!
PhongaIt's... Pop/Rock. A 50's pop tune with a modern edge.
Blurb: Catchy, playful, narrative. Better than a kick in the pants!
Rapping WaxodicIt's... Rock/Punk. More rock than punk. Probably influenced by the recent run of "garage" bands.
Blurb: Catchy and kooky. Destined to be my first radio-friendly unit shifter!
RelianceIt's... rock meets funk, let's call it alternagroove.
Blurb: White man soul meets QotSA-influenced rawk. Enough bass to shake your booty and the foundations of your house.
spastic cologneIt's...Punk/Rock/Psychadaelia. Sex Pistols, Nirvana, and whatever your fav psych band is.
Blurb: Misanthropic, lots of crunch, short short short (it's punk, whaddya expect?). It has some pretty-sounding phasered bookends!
Theme from HoozatIt's... a dream, it's a scheme, it's... hoozat? The recurring theme of the Hoozat album (funk/groove)
Travis BickleIt's... Alternative/Pop/Rock/Blues/whatever. Elements of Tool, Radiohead, and Gypsy music.
Blurb: Narrative hard rockin/soft and dynamic swinging piece. It's musically interesting and catchy besides. My first tune in 3/4 time!
