Best/most interesting opeth song, production-wise?

[Fields Of Sorrow]

I'm doing a course in sound recording right now, and for next week we've to bring in a piece of music that we appreciate both musically and for its production values. Now I appreciate pretty much every Opeth song bar Porcelain Heart musically so which ones stand out for you from a production standpoint?

I would really appreciate any feedback, cheers.

 

[Uaarkson]

probably deliverance

best fucking bass drum sound EVER

 

[Jester-Race]

Harlequin Forest.

 

[Luann]

I think that ghost of perdition has a great production regarding acoustic guitars and heavy guitars, drums, etc.

 

[TommyPickles]

Beneath the Mire.

Hell....GR altogether.

 

[Lateralus14]

I concur, just bring in Ghost Reveries

 

[Slayer101]

Really for me the whole Deliverance album is the best production. I don't know about GR, it's good, but I'm just not to fond of it for some reason.

I would pick something BWP, I think steve wilson did his best job on that.

Bleak comes to mind, those crushing powerchords at the start just sound so deep and powerful, and the layering of acoustic guitars adds a cool feel, crisp drum sound, and the contrast to the acoustic and jazzy tone later is all there like most opeth songs.

 

[WeirdGray]

All albums have a unique sound and production for their own atmospheres.. so you can choose one of them (...Still Life, Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Ghost Reveries, Watershed).. but if i had to, I would like to choose Ghost of Perdition and Baying of the Hounds from Ghost Reveries!

 

[President of Opeth fanclub]

Well...Bleak from BWP! A Great song! And The Baying of the hounds from GR...

Most-interesting production-wise? TNATSW

 

[opeth8]

The Lotus Eater is the most interesting for me.

I really like the production work on all of Watershed.
Overall it's been really good since BWP

 

[Wander]

I'd bring something from Orchid... In The Mist She Was Standing.

 

[hexwind]

Anything from GR !! the best production i think...good luck with that man

 

[Cognitive Intercourse]

Others have beat me to it...but Baying of the Hounds gets my vote.

 

[Vivören]

probably deliverance

best fucking bass drum sound EVER

 

[Bleakh]

Concerning the production I would suggest almost everything on Deliverance. There´s so much going on there soundwise, particularly in By The Pain I See In Others.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

Face of Melinda

I adore the atmosphere of that song.

 

[flemflames]

Face of Melinda

I adore the atmosphere of that song.

I absolutely agree mate

 

[Words of Credence]

Harlequin Forest.

Win.

Whenever I hear that song I feel like running through a forest.
