"what does grammy-nominated producer neil kernon think of the kayo dot album?"

well this will satisfy the yearning. taken from the perpetual motion board:

This is indeed powerful stuff. I played snippets of all the songs before I settled back in my armchair to really get stuck into this album.

And what an album it is. Really dynamic and varied. Loads of different colours, moods and textures, all beautifully laid out with consummate ease. I had a few preconceptiions going in, as one might expect, and there are definitely similarities to motW. However, this album is far bolder than any of the maudlin albums.

Now THIS is what I call a progressive album. I've only heard it once all the way through, but it left me with my jaw on the floor. I did pour myself a glass of wine for the almost hour-long listen, but only got halfway through it, instead just sitting there mesmerised by the depth of the compositions. Wow.

In my opinion, this is a real candidate for album of the year. I listened to some mp3s I got from a friend, who had recommended the album to me, and you can be sure I'll be listening to this over and over again once I get my CD from the band.

Awesome!

Neil K.

Edit: Paste fucked the layout damnit...
 
yes, neil has been around. he's like the village slut in producer terms.
of course, who am i to talk.



seriously, he's got so many amazing stories i could listen for days. a really nice, cool, easy guy to work with- he's like the doctor you don't mind giving you a rectal exam because he's hilarious enough to make you relax. and he's done some HEAVY stuff. Britney Fox not included. (the Red Harvest is pretty killer) i recall playing him some motW stuff (bath) for him when we were recording with him, and he liked it a lot.

Nice endorsement from a man whose resume is so lengthy it makes Dan Swano look like a recluse in comparison. :)
In fairness, he's got a few more years in the biz than Swano.
