I don't know if you can tell from the youtube, but on the record it sounds
like it's a big studio with close-miking. You can hear a little of the
ambience, but what you don't hear are any close-in reflections that make
things boxy.
Any guess as to what mic they were using?
Not really. It doesn't have that peaky forward U87 thing going on, and the
top end isn't really very open. If I had to emulate it, I'd probably grab
an RE-20 for my first try.
Notice the spoken vocals are much more forward sounding than the main vocal.
I'd be surprised if Mix didn't have an article about this album.
