Birdland


Didn't discover this band until they were long gone, but became a fan anyway. It was only as I was going thru the collection this afternoon that I thought I'd check to see what, if anything, I could find on the Net about the group. And that's how I found this site. Great history/profile.

Agree with your thoughts re the LP, though from what I've read elsewhere the repercussions to "RRNigg*r" might have been stronger [and more negative] than you mention.

One other thought: any opinions re Paul Sampson's engineering? The boost to the highs would suggest he's lost quite a bit of hearing in the upper frequencies. Those early tracks are brutal without EQing.

Thanks again for the info.

Re: Birdland


Hey Ron,

Apologies for only now noting your post. We're so busy here emoticon that I forget to check in.

I think the production on the first couple of singles was a deliberate nod to a) the Velvets and b) the Mary Chain. All top end, no bass and just the general white noise.

Thanks for your kind words.

D.

Re: Birdland


No apologies necessary. Thanks for the reply. You may be right re the Velvets influence.
