The song is called "A Favor House Atlantic" and the band is Coheed &
Cambria. If you don't recognize the title, but you happen listen to Alt
Rock/Modern Rock Radio you may have heard it...the hook/refrain goes: "Are
you in, or are you out, For them all to know the end of us all..."

Produced & recorded by Michael Birnbaum & Chris Bittner.

Production ain't bad at all... bass could be a little tighter tone-wise,
and the only thing that bugs me is that it sounds like there's a snare
sample that really kinda stands out as a sample (either that or the drummer
hits EXACTLY at the same spot on the head every time), but what really
stands out is the arrangment... brilliant use of single-note guitar
passages as arpeggiated fills all over the song - really nice. Don't know
if that's the band or the producer(s) who came up with that. The player
seems pretty comfortable & confident in his approach with it & he's RIGHT
in the pocket, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's him who came up with it.
****, the guy even has a VIBRATO, ferchrissakes! That's something you don't
hear much of in new bands, for whatever reason.

The other things that stand out to me are the great energy in the track -
really comes across as an excellent first take (though I have no idea if it
is, but you no doubt know what I'm talking about, yes?), and the singer's
vocals... I really like 'em. It's pretty well up there in the registers,
and his annunciation is interesting. This track really ROCKS!

Go spend the $13.99 to get this CD just for that one track. The whole CD
ain't all that bad, IMO, so you might like some of the others, too; but
this is one case where one track is worth the price of admission. As I'm
posting this, I'm on at least my tenth listen to this track.

I hope to hear it soon, but for my money, 2 of the best (non-beatles)
arrangements that quickly come to mind are 70's minor hit "Wildflower"
by Skylark (I believe David Foster was a big part of that), and Don
McLean's Breathtaking cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying" on the "Chain
Lightning" album. McLean almost always had a knockout cover version on
each album - "Cryin In The Chapel" was pretty cool, too.

Do yourself a "favor" and go see them live. They start their headlining tour
with (opening act) "Three"(www.thefamily3.com) starting sometime in Oct and
going all over for 7 - 8 weeks. Josh is an amazing drummer and both
guitarists rock. The bass tone is better live, imo - but what do I know...I
only built the studio they recorded in!

Hey, "Dad", don't take my mentioning the bass tone as an affront... it's a

it.

Neil, no offense taken! I actually agree with you on the bass tone. The
mastering job really juiced up the high end in a not so flattering way, imo
as well. Hey, it's my kid, but that don't mean I know anything about this

treatment including the LF noise that persists to the end.
It grabbed my attention and kept it.

You never can tell. Personally, I feel that David Foster is the very
essence of everything that is evil about corporate control of pop music,
but that's just me. Which do you like better, "Colour My World" (makes
me cringe) or "25 or 6 to 4"?

My theory is that nobody likes "Colour My World" as much as I love "25
or 6 to 4", but a much larger number of people don't dislike it as much
as some people probably dislike "25 or 6 to 4" and that's why we have
television.

I clicked that link. Are you sure we are listening to the same song? I hear a
straightforward rock arrangement. I kept waiting for the brilliant parts to
come but they never did. Whats the big deal about the arpeggios? There are a
few here and there in the song, like millions of other songs. If anything this
track seems somewhat retro. Not too bad or anything.

C&C have been a big influence to this band I'm currently working with,
but I'd have to say this song is not one of their favorites at all.
Still good though! If you have any more info on the recording setup
(instruments, mics used, etc...) I'd surely LOVE to hear about it -
not that the band I'm working with wants to sound like them, just for
curiosity's sake.

http://www.coheedandcambria.com/medi...e_atlantic.mp3

-and-

The track is "Everlasting Gaze" by the Smashing Pumpkins.

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/canichesnoirs/EGsample.mp3 - 1,8 mo
(a simple edit where you can hear the two choruses of the track)

It's hard to tell from that low-fi sample,

Well it's not a lo-fi sample
it's a well encoded 192 kbps MP3 and it does a fair justice to what you hear
on the track.
the overcompression may sound like digital compression artifacts but it's
not !

DIGITAL CLIPPING IS BAD FORM.

Forms of distortion that are acceptable when used appropriately:
1. Electric guitar cranked up through a tube amp.
2. Harp w/ Green Bullet through a Twin.
3. Hammond through a Leslie (60 watt tube amp)
4. Transformer saturation used sparingly with some sources.
5. Carbon mic through old-timey tube circuits to simulate telephone
or other lo-fi communication device.
6. AM radio in Daddy's car when teenager is on first date.

You should be starting to get the idea by now ...
These (except the radio) are examples of individual sources though an
individual device,
being used correctly or at least with intent to narrowly shape tone.
It's all about the TONE.

DIGITAL CLIPPING IS UNPROFESSIONAL, NASTY, AND UNNECCESSARY.

Global digital clipping (that done to a complete stereo mix as an
afterthought or lack of thought) is offensive and irreparably destroys
'Tone'. The presence of hard clipping distortion only mimics the sound
of something being played 'too loud'. It's not actually louder until
I turn the volume control up, an activity that we are being robbed of
because by the time it's turned up enough to really be louder it
becomes so grating annoying and fatigueing that I have to turn it
down again. (I know ... I'm too old ... )

Both MP3 files posted have over 10,000 clippppppped samples per
minute.
WAY overmodulated by any reasonable standard.

I've often thought of doing it just for kicks :-) But I would be surprised
if someone has already, and been serious!

Correction, that should read "wouldn't be surprised" :-)

I wonder who will be the first to release a record that is nothing more
than
a varying frequency square wave at constant dfs?

Which do you like better, "Colour My World" (makes me cringe) or "25 or 6 to 4"?

That's easy - "25 or 6 to 4"

but then the first two albums had sooo many really cool tunes. They were
allowed one or two that didn't operate at the same level.

My theory is that nobody likes "Colour My World" as much as I love "25
or 6 to 4", but a much larger number of people don't dislike it as much
as some people probably dislike "25 or 6 to 4" and that's why we have
television.

That is an interesting theory. Having played both tunes in a high school
rock band I'd have to say that we played "Colour My World" one too many
times sometime around the third time we played it, and we didn't get
enough opportunities to play "25 or 6 to 4"!

The thing is... girls liked to cuddle in nice and close during one of
those tunes... which I think explains why we played it almost every gig.

I like them both - 25 or 6 to 4 better. I don't like much David Foster
has done in recent years, but I think Wildflower was around '71 -
before D.F. began farting through silk. Let's not judge '71 by '94,
OK?

I hope to hear it soon, but for my money, 2 of the best (non-beatles)
arrangements that quickly come to mind are 70's minor hit "Wildflower"
by Skylark (I believe David Foster was a big part of that), and Don
McLean's Breathtaking cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying" on the "Chain
Lightning" album. McLean almost always had a knockout cover version on
each album - "Cryin In The Chapel" was pretty cool, too.
