Rezension

Vinyl-only.

Überraschung! Erste, richtig gute Aufnahmen von Josh Haden's Spain, nochmals aufgefrischt von Kramer / Shimmy Disc, die 1994 noch vor dem Debut Album "The Blue Moods Of Spain" entstanden. Zwei der Songs erschienen im Aufnahmejahr auf einer limitierten 7"Single (auf Nathanus Records), wir schätzen mal die kennt hier auch keiner. Aber alleine wegen dem hier titelgebenden, atmosphärischen 12 Minuten Song ist - nicht nur Freunden von Spain - dieses Vinyl wärmstens empfohlen.

Review

Josh Haden : "The LP "World of Blue" features Merlo Podlewski on guitar. I first met Merlo in 1994. My sister Rachel Haden, who had been working with him at the Rhino Records store in Westwood, knew I was looking for a new guitarist for my band, and introduced us. Merlo is one of those guitarists whose playing is so smooth and effortless he makes anyone feel like they can play. He had an instinctual grasp of harmony and theory, which brought a great counterpoint to the technical knowledge and finesse of lead guitarist Ken. At a certain point that year we were ready to record our first 7" single, and I reserved some time at Poop Alley. Tom Grimley converted an auto-repair shop into Poop Alley Studio. The walls and floors were made of concrete, and there was no soundproofing. The mixing board was in a loft up this steep staircase with no guard rails. But it worked somehow. On the particular day we recorded basics there was a rain storm which you can clearly hear in the background. We set up and it started raining. Tom put a microphone outside. After tracking was finished, Petra came over and overdubbed violin. There was a cushioned area where I remember sitting during mixdown. There were little stacks of Aphex 16-track tape everywhere. We stayed good friends with Tom. We recorded a couple more songs with him the following year. Luckily for us, the tapes still exist. On those tapes are five songs, all of which are represented here. "I Lied" and "Her Used-To-Been" were released on the 7", the remaining three have never been released before now."
