Damon's track is easily the best on this comp. It's bloody awesome actually - a kick-ass acoustic riff leading into a mind-blowing 3 minute pounding drum solo.

The comp is kind of meh. Not that much interesting stuff on it

Oh yeah, the rest of the comp is dreadful. But it's worth it for his song alone...

Damn shame about that super cheesy reverb plugin that's left on nearly the whole time.
There is that moment at 5:18 where they kill it and the track actually comes together.
Also, a variation of the part of the drum solo (around 2:40) used in one of the New Shapes? Sounds like it to me.
Good track.

Naw man, what with them getting Protools now and all...  But seriously, there's something to be said for being subtle with the reverberation. |

But seriously, there's something to be said for being subtle with the reverberation. reverb can be great when used properly but people are way too fond of smothering tracks in it to make something sound fuller, instead of learning how to use their mics properly and mix things properly to fill out the song. as far as i'm concerned it should either be used as though the song was written with it in place (á la my bloody valentine) or to highlight different spaces (martin hannet/joy division) never just to make it sound 'big and all professional like'. |

Amen to that. A very common tell with people new to mixing. I always thought it was the result of inexperienced ears, needing an obscene amount of reverb before starting to hear it. Certainly doesn't fit Albini. Guy's is a master, with this particular case I'm betting whoever actually paid for the session sitting in the control room said "More room!" so it was given. American Don (also by Albini) is my perfect example of ambience done right. Still enough direct in there, sounds like you're right there in the room. |

Albinis a master of mic techniques. One of the best in the industry. I can guarantee he didn't record that session.
