he he he ... just got Myth Takes a few days ago and popped it in for the first time this morning. Fun CD. But guess I've been listening to some much more sanely mastered CDs recently, because I had the volume set about normal, and it nearly ripped my head off. Yikes, why even the indie labels master these records like this, I'll just never understand. But aside from the lack of nuance and any semblance of naturalness, it doesn't sound bad. No obvious clipping from a casual listen.
But like I said, from a distance this is some fun fun fun music (ok ok ok, I'll stop with the silly triplets
). Kind of like a combo of two of my favorites in Talking Heads and Laika. Maybe not quite prime TH or Laika, say Speaking in Tongues meets Good Looking Blues, but good combo, although a bit dated by now. Way too upfront and punchy for my serious listening (remember, just talking about me), but I can see this providing some very cool background.
I know Viro and DLW are big fans, anyone else around here?
