Lianne Kaye – Glow (No Compass Remix)

So, we hopped on the US Billboard charts for the last few years and picked two mixes in the active rock realm that we thought brought good energy. We ended on Deftones “Genesis” and Papa Roach “Kill The Noise”. Whether or not one like’s them, they are two bands that have stood the test of time and have no trouble packing out festivals and tours. These specific mixes are arguably among the best productions in that US realm to date. When referencing those, we referenced lossless FLACs.

Give the Youtube uploads of those two songs a comparison to ours. Whether or not we hit the target we aimed at remains to be seen, but it would be helpful to find out whether or not you feel the drums in those mixes exhibit the same thing as ours.

Thanks, Diiill!

Really bummed we haven’t heard a single submission with a Fender Rhodes and towels on drums.

What was the first release that caused you to notice production as a distinct thing from a song?

Mine was Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill”. I snuck an older sibling’s tape because I had to hear the *sound* of the guitars and the directness of her voice on “Head Over Feet”. I was never able to get a clean cassette dub off the radio without a DJ talking over it in the rarity I was allowed to stay up late enough to catch it on the air. It was a less favored single by the local alternative station’s program director/DJs.

My partner that’s a bit younger, his was Paramore’s “Riot”. It was Farro’s drums and the other Farro’s effects choices on the guitars each coupled with the choices of Bendeth et al. To date, “That’s What You Get” is among his favorite songs. He’s not yet had the pleasure of seeing them live but I was able to see them play on a truck bed with speakers on sticks for a PA. It didn’t take them long to get to arenas.

Our question is open ended to anyone here. We’d like to hear your answers!
