about

Remixed this album during Covid Downtime. Originally released it back in 2003 when mixing on a computer was still something I had to pay money to go somewhere and have somebody do. So I mixed it analog from ADATs through my old Soundcraft 600, which isn't a bad console but has kind of a crappy summing bus and has no way to flip phase, and that, combined with the fact that I didn't really know what I was doing, made for a muddled and tinny mix. It isn't much better now, but you can at least hear what is going on and the bass and stereo image is clearer. Should sound awesome on your smartphone speaker, haha.

This might be my favorite MofH record, it really captures the uncomfortable Goth/Psych/Glam/Drug feel I was originally going for. Things got more pop thereafter. Enjoy
