I feel like this single belongs to Tracker more than anything. But yes, this song shows where 6 years went, I can imagine finding the exact bass sound and atmosphere for the song can take a loooooong time. I mean this bass sound and effects are phenomenal but surely feel a little bit distracting. It's like spending energy updating the graphics in a video game instead of changing the story and gameplay. But I'm sure the album will have more surprises, it even had a harp!
One thing that i cannot understand and at some point kind of "irritates me" its that Audiophyle kind of production / speach.
I mean, they are focused on tape recording, tube microphones, vintage desks... all design to be listened on high-expensive headphones or some kind of hitech-stereo-surround-hybrid-hifi equipment.
And how about the song?
This audiophyle kind of speach, in my opinion, tries to turn MK's audience to the science behind the song instead the song itself.
Talk about the AOTG bass tone, the plate reverb on Mark voice, the correct voltage tube tremolo on Richards guitar.... In my opinion, this is secondary. These details are the song complements, not the main thing.
Mark's albums seems to be more like a British Grove marketing stuff than an real album.
And the DTRW was, in my opinion, a failture in terms of engeneering, mixing and mastering. If the main role is to talk about that, there are a LOT of week/poor sounds on that record.
I hope that, the nwe album brings more songs that can be enjoyed on a simple headphone than "to rear the guitar tone perfectly, you'll need a Phillips XPTO headphone plugged on a Sony Tube Hi-fi amp"
