Obviously they had songs, Many more being a double album. Curious why Many more is the only album where you give the artist's name. Srsly, I only know about half of those albums by title alone. Why no artist names? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The first album I ever heard in stereo: Magical Mystery Tour. I had an epiphany right then and there, that the studio itself could be part of the creative process. From a musical perspective, the album that inspired me most was In the Court of the Crimson King. It was a bolt of lightning, showing me that rock, jazz and classical were all just different facets of the same gem. For emotional impact, it would be the first Black Sabbath album. It was my first time listening on headphones. "I am Iron Man" emanating from the middle of my head! Well, I was also on acid, so there's that. For musical inspiration, Time Out by Dave Brubeck and its follow-up, Time Further Out. Prior to that, I thought that all music was in 4/4, 3/4 or 6/8. Not only was 7/4 a viable option, you could even dance to it. Look it up on YouTube; there is a live performance of Unsquare Dance with (admittedly pro) dancers having no problem bouncing along to its odd time signature. Honorable mention: Hope by Klaatu, an epic concept album on par -imo- with Dark Side of the Moon. I bought it on cassette while on the road and fell asleep to it every night that summer. Our drummer was also a big fan of it, so when he bought a Sony reel-to-reel with sound-on-sound, Hope was in our minds as we began experimenting. That was my first non-studio recording. Can't call it a home recording as it was in a motel room in Idaho. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain Posted Monday at 02:38 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:38 PM (edited) This one... The Fragile, by Nine Inch Nails. It came out at a time when I was transitioning from guitar oriented, hard tock music and starting to experiment with synths and samplers. The album itself was a huge inspiration. Sonically, it covered such a broad palette - from extraordinarily delicate acoustic sounds to harsh electronic noises. Just like the Mr. Bungle album, it gave me a sense of freedom. But the influence was made even deeper when I happened to buy an issue of Keyboard magazine detailing how the album was created, how Reznor rented this old funeral home in New Orleans where he and the guys who worked on the album each had their room with a DAW, with the main studio downstairs and a server so that while one guy was recording their part in the studio, another guy might be in their room experimenting and then uploading the resulting audio on the server. Reznor also hired a guy to build a huge library of long, evolving sounds that he could further mangle. The whole process seemed absolutely fascinating. And the fact that they were using Logic as a front for the Pro Tools hardware didn't hurt. Also, who wouldn't want to live in an old funeral home, right? 🤣 Edited Monday at 02:38 PM by Rain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
