The Byrds - Original Album Classics - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Drift, their fifth studio album sees Pianos Become the Teeth taking another sonic step forward to craft a musical statement that truly transcends genres. For the recording of Drift, the band took it back to basics, starting at a family -owned cabin in the woods of Virginia, that they transformed into an analog recording studio. The band lived together, recorded together and ate dinners together where they would listen to the day's recordings, talk about them and pull them apart and reworking them, creating what may be their finest album to date.Per front man Kyle Durfey,Inch Something that we really took away from this experience was just the connection we had together. We produced the record ourselves with our longtime friend/collaborator/engineer Kevin Bernsten who recorded our first two records.Inch The recordings that the band created using innovative recording techniques, recording 100%analog are sonically transportive and certain to mystify and inspire generations of recording artists. All the echoes were made with old echoplexes and tape delay, which made for a really organic record. With Bersten's help the band was able to take some of the weirder and more ambitious ideas they had and turned them into reality making this a fantastic album for immersive headphone listening.

Roland Keller - Romantic Piano Concerti V4 [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/04/1992

Digitally remastered edition of the legendary 1973 reunion album by The Byrds. Released on the Asylum tag in March 1973, Byrds saw the classic line-up of Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, David Crosby, ROGER McGuinn and Michael Clarke fully reunited for the first time since 1966 (when Clark departed the group due to his fear of flying) and following the departure of Clarke and Crosby in 1967 - Clarke to the Flying Burrito Brothers and Crosby to Crosby, Stills and Nash (and Young). Recorded at the Wally Heider studios in Los Angeles during October and November 1972, the album featured compositions by Gene Clark ('Full Circle' and 'Changing Heart'), Roger McGuinn ('Sweet Mary' and 'Born to Rock n' Roll') and Chris Hillman ('Things Will Be Better' and 'Borrowing Time') along with David Crosby's 'Long Live the King' and a new version of 'Laughing' (originally recorded by Crosby on his 1971 solo album If Only I Could Remember My Name). The album also featured a cover version of Joni Mitchell's 'For Free' and two Neil Young compositions; 'Cowgirl in the Sand' and '(See the Sky) About to Rain', the latter not released by Young himself until 1974 when his version appeared on the album On the Beach. This remastered edition of Byrds restores the original album artwork and features an illustrated booklet with essay.
