MoFi tinged with distortion


Hi there,

I recently aquiered Aimee Mann's Bachelor No2 on Mobile Fidility's GAIN2 (Serial number 212) vinyl - stunning album.

What bothers me is that the vocals are slightly "tinged" with distortion... I have noticed this on the 'Lost in Space' album aswell. Other records play just fine...

What can cause this - is the resording meant to be like this? What is your findings?

Yours,

Read the liner notes.

Michael Lockwood, Producer
"....bits and pieces of electronica and texture with yes a dash of Pink Floyd conceptual overtones..........the treatment of the guitars was to be more keyboard like and the keyboards ended up sounding like guitars. How could they not after being squeezed through several compressors, ring modulators, whammy pedals and just as many echoes as humanly possible. This was just the beginning....."

Ryan Freeland, co-producer
"While we did record some pristine and accurate sounds most of the time we focused on manipulation of sound in strange and interesting ways that had nothing to do with being accurate to the original source"

Your turntable is fine.
