O.K. I am not usually one to get blow away by the engineering on a record. It just ain't my thang, you know. I'm a song guy. I learned to record because I can't write great songs, but I have an intuitive knack for technical stuff. I always have. But I don't pay much attention to other peoples engineering, I listen to the songs.
For Christmas, however, I got a record which blows me away, from and engineering point of view. THE NEW PETER GABRIEL ALBUM ROCKS.
It is Peter Gabriel, so the songs are obviously going to be good. That goes without saying, and it is very true in this case. Great songs. So having great songs on a record would normally put me in a place where I don't really notice the mix. Tchad Blake mixed the album, and it is just great. It is creative, and at every point seems to enhance the songs, while painting some wonderful contrasting colors. I am, and have been, a big fan of Tchad Blake’s work, but this is one of his best, to my ear.
Killer album, with great songs, and one of the coolest engineers on the planet. I'm happy.
