I haven’t listened to the original mix of Uroboros in years, and I’m doing that right now. I can say that what Tue Madsen seemed to concentrate on was pushing Kyo more to the front, but he also removed a lot of the low end of everything else. He kind of nerfed Toshiya’s bass tone, and the hard planning of Kaoru’s and Die’s guitars seems to be less prominent. In the end he somehow managed to make a cleaner mix that sounds messier. Props for bringing out that extra percussion in Ware, Yami Tote though? But fuck that snare sound in the original mix of Red Soil. Sounds like Shinya is smacking tin foil.

I was thinking more like taking an existing song and adding a new section to it. They used to do it at the end of Mask where they would break to let everyone do a quick little solo. There’s also the new intro they added to Reiketsu Nariseba. Stuff like that. I mean, I sort of always wished they added a new jam in Shitataru Mourou. Stop for a bit after the second chorus and come back in with a different groove before returning to finish it out properly. I’m not expecting Mars Volta levels extended jams here, just something to break up the familiarity.

I sometimes wish the rest of the band would get a little improvisational. Kyo is doing whatever the fuck he wants while the other guys are practically jukeboxes. Die seems to the only one that would add extra color here and there. Sometimes Toshiya would throw in a different bass run, but for the most part they played the songs straight. Can these guys jam once in a while?

It’s okay guys he’s not really tearing up his mouth.

Nice. No Tidal though.

Is it during Kodoku?

I’m thinking back to how Dozing Green wasn’t given a different mix for Uroboros and wondering how that happened. It straight up sounded like it didn’t belong on the album.

All I understood was “kono akaunto” lol

What’s stopping him?

That’s not short for Japan is it? Isn’t Kyo like 5’2” or something?

Holy shit I forgot about Ninth.

LOL the bio on the OHP specifically states Yoh plays 8 strings

First live in November, then dropping a limited full length album two months later. The nuts on this guy.

OH MAN I LOVE FAIRY TIMES MOMERY!!!

A majority of the BOOGA BOOGA FOOCHA stuff is Kaoru’s doing.

No way this kusoman feels anything

I’ve said this. I wish DEG would delve deeper into a more progressive/post-rock sound and ditch the BOOGA BOOGA FOOCHA stuff. Things have gotten a bit stale in that department. But, you know, Kaoru.

Genius. Spending too much time on the internet insulates everyone in their own world.

Lol, you can hear mouse clicks in the beginning of the sample.

I know I do.

Sounds like it though.

That’s it. Deity, IIID Empire, Increase Blue, and Clever Sleazoid. Man what a motley crew of songs.

Or better DEG songs. Also what was that movie that had a bunch of DEG songs in the soundtrack. Some super stylized martial arts film I think.

Asian bootleg Tony Iommi

I guess that sounds nice!
