workstation pop (n.) music motifs descended from genres that were originally commercially oriented and to be received by a wide audience. This music is created on a home computer workstation. First documented by 'peter' ( www.wfmu.org... , 7/22/2022 ).

Avatar 🇰🇷 7:52pm

I guess it's just me who has problems with all this echo. I spent enough time in huge churches as a child that I don't really want to repeat the sonic experience. And I think it's sometimes a kind of cheap way to try to generate profundity.
Avatar 7:55pm
TDK60:

Listener Gregory. I do like reverb/echo. But I could see tiring of it, if it gets too reverby all the time, like those surf bands in '62.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:55pm
Gary:

Gregory, I feel you -- there's a similar phenomenon in contemporary poetry with repetition
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:56pm

sustain / repetition connotes seriousness & depth, without actually providing it

Ha! Was just trying to figure out how to say what TDK and Gary just said. I'm glad you guys let me hang out here.
  7:59pm
Dean:

Echoes are triggers? How does one live a life when one is so utterly sensitive to the noise of the world?

Or am I not getting the sarcasm? I hope this is the case, because if it isn't then I will unload the manifold circumstances that cause me to curl into a babbling baby. The trauma I have suffered is limitless.

DL! I do very minimal "click removal" and then go searching for specific clicks that I hear. Nothing too drastic. That said, tonight we've only heard one vinyl rip so far, the Cheba Wahida. Everything else has been FLAC. I've got two more vinyl rips coming up later, we'll see how they compare

Track "Batucada" by Towa Tei was the first cut that made me think of sample resolution as an aesthetic shoice, because the root sample in the song is so rough it's almost 8-bit

...& in the Analog vs. Digital consideration - the great Mastering Engineers very much contend they knew the limitations of the Dynamic Range they were working in - & in the better instances - used it Artfully.

...like Beatles' Engineer Geoff Emerick spoke of a lady commenting that on the Remastered (if not Remixed?) Sgt. Pepper - she could finally tell one sound was a cowbell. The problem he said - they worked hard so you could not tell...
Not sure how applicable that is to the Portishead situation or the general drift here...

A wiseass student of mine once wrote an essay on Barthes and titled it "Roland the Headless Semiologist"

Great comments on texture, Gary. It is definitely underrated. Some of my favorite rock albums are those that have a rich, grungy texture.

I might posit TheWho's first album as an example. The CD is clearer - but ...but...
Mono mixes are often punchier than Stereo too...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:14pm
Gary:

SPEAKING OF -- Tim gifted me some FLACs of the new Revolver stereo album and I loved them so much I went out and got the vinyl. Part of what I liked was that the tracks did NOT have the punchiness of the mono -- they were richer than I remembered them sounding as a kid

I was shocked to hear some cowbell in Revolver, speaking of
Avatar 🇰🇷 Swag For Life Member 9:17pm
Zipperhead7:

I always thought that when the big Phil Spector CD box set came out years ago,he purposely torpedoed the mix. The tracks are so dry they're arid, completely devoid of warmth. A "Back to Mono" button was included with the first pressings.

A prominent impression went they just Remastered TheBeatles in 2009 was I had a lot of tambourine & the like a few inches from my face ! :D
Yeah - DJ GeorgyGirl played new Revolver trax...
My first impression was yeah Clarity ...tho 'Love You To' sounded less electric & more subdued. The contempo bias in favor of Drum & Bass end might make them Rawk more - but Revolver was (/is) specifically *Druggy* - it should hit you in a certain way. I commented about the MBV 'Loveless' album that it's like shooting up elektrik gittar. There's some comparison to Revolver in some way there ...Texture indeed.
