Fantastic Mixes – [music]
So, yesterday morning when I was driving into work, I was listening to some music that was really well mixed. This got me thinking about making a list of my “favorite mixes”; i.e., albums that I think are exemplary in mix quality. I’ve started a list here. If you read this and want to add some of your own, please feel free to use the comments on this post.
- Peter Gabriel: So, Passion
- Steve Roach: Mantram
- Robert Rich: Bestiary
- nine inch nails: The Fragile
- Fluke: Risotto
- The Art of Noise: In No Sense? Nonsense! (probably the oldest item on the list)
- Fleetwood Mac: Rumours (whoops, no! much older than TAoN…)
- Madonna: Ray of Light
These are albums that, in my opinion, are so well-recorded that they’re interesting to listen to even if they’re not your favorite style of music (although I note that I’ve chosen albums on which I actually do like the music…). These are seductive recordings — I don’t mean musically seductive, Barry White-type seductive, but I mean that the recording is so good that the sound seduces you into attentive listening.
