AXIS OF ADVANCE.

Read somewhere that Ulver is re-recording their old albums. YAY.

This should be interesting. Nattens Madrigal would sound much different without the necro production.

 

[skeptik]

That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life.

 

[Zephyrus]

Perhaps, but I'm not as easily bothered by overproduced remakes of underproduced albums. Stormblast for example.

 

[skeptik]

I don't think any of them are underproduced.

 

[Mort Divine]

The thing is they want to record an ACOUSTIC version of Nattens, not rerecord every old album.

 

[Zephyrus]

I don't think any of them are underproduced.

I didn't mean to imply that being underproduced was a bad thing.

 

[skeptik]

Actually underproduced is a bad thing, but the cohesion between the material and the production is what determines whether or not it's under or over produced. The early Ulver albums have nigh perfect production, in my opinion.

 

[ohiogrinder]

I thought Canada was more famous for its "war" metal brand. You know, stuff like Conqueror and Revenge. Bleh

yeah thats what usually comes to mind when I think of Canada. but I think Revenge and Conqueror rule.

 

[ohiogrinder]

yeah, why ruin a good thing?

I was specifically referring to Nattens Madrigal, which was deliberately underproduced as a satirical gimmick.

 

[skeptik]

I would say merely deliberately produced rather than underproduced, as that would imply that the production is lesser than it should be, which is not the case.

I meant lesser than it could be, rather than should be.

 

[skeptik]

Which is why I think that using the terms in that fashion is useless. What is suitable for Black Metal is entirely at odds with what is suitable for Power Metal. What is well-produced is totally different, thus so is what is under and over produced, with respect to the different styles.

 

[Mort Divine]

Nattens has a very good production, the only thing different about it is the extremely high treble.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I can't see any reason why Ulver would do this other than because they need money. Is there any artistic merit to this at all? Maybe they plan on rewriting/remixing the songs to a high degree like the one Kveldssanger track they did in that way.

I can see that happening. Look what he and Arcturus did with Disguised Masters.

you obviously don't understand black metal....:Smug:

Old Stormblast was ok. The new one was terrible.

THAT is a bad idea.
