Sunday, February 02, 2003 hello all. Zwan's MARY STAR OF THE SEA album is to be released very shortly in Oz and I'm very excited. There has been some... how shall I put it.... vocal comments raised about the "sound" and the "mixing" of the album over at the Zwan message board of which I am a member. The one and only Billy Corgan (frontman of Zwan) posted this to clarify.... Topic: LOUD at any volume "Hello from The Zwan!!! We are playing for the first time in Tokyo, and as always, have been given a very warm reception by our great Japanese audience. Everyone in Zwan is doing well, and we look forward to getting to play the Mary Star album for everyone and anyone. Recently, some concerns have come to light regarding the 'sound' of the album, and there seems to be confusion about whether or not there is a problem, which is understandable in the warm 'digital' age. So from my mouth to your ear, here's the deal: We set out to make the loudest fucking rock and roll album that was humanly possible. No detail was too small, and by that I mean that everything, and I mean everything on the album is distorted by yours truly. I became obsessed by the sound of the great mono albums of the sixties, whether it be Dusty Springfield, The Walker Brothers, The Stones, The Who, The Kinks, etc. and their compressed excitement. so if our album is blowing up your speakers or making your dog cry, I can't say I'm sorry, but I do apologize for any worries this may have caused. Mary Star of the Sea uses everything but the kitchen sink in the analog or digital domain to push the sound of Zwan past the blur into something that feels fresh and exciting, and most importantly, LOUD at any volume. So crank it up, and sit back and enjoy what it sounds like for us on stage in the overdriven glory. We love you!!! ....BC" kool! I have previewed the album over at zwan.com and cannot tell the quality of the recording, as it is through low bandwidth and you can never really tell through hearing music through the Inter-net. Also, it's "The Zwan"!!! They have a definite article in front of Zwan! Monty Burns says "Excellent!" On an entirely unrelated note, I went to a very funky pool party last night. Pruned up in the spa quite nicely and enjoyed the relaxed company of close friends. Comfortable. Pool. Pin the tail on the Ass. :) Not to mention the sensational food and desserts. Lemon Meringue. and how good were the Futurama eps on Thursday? Really.posted by AJ | 10:48 PM | | ||
