Ken stopped by the studio last night to give me my advanced copy of the CD. So I was on my way home and I popped it into my car, as this is where I listen to most of my music, and decided to drive around for a while before heading home. I got a chance to listen to at least 4 or 5 of my favorite tracks before I finally made it home. I really enjoy it, it's well done and sounds great.
Of courses mixes are subjective, and I'm used to a more "modern" mix, I do find that the mix matches the songs, and I certainly respect that. The songs have many classic elements about them and so do the mixes, so the overall experience is still endearing. The mastering, made a huge difference too. From what I heard it when Ken finished re-mixing it to the finished mastered product, I have to say it's very pleasing to my ears.
All in all, it's a great way for him to come back from a 15 year hiatus!
Anyways, that's the cliff's notes version of my review.
I have many fond memories of recording this album, and they all come back when I listen to the finished product.
Congrats to Ken on a wonderful collection of songs that has finally surfaced!
PS - My Favorite Tracks:
My Maria
Like Innocence
The acoustic guitar sound in these songs makes me very happy.
