How would you like next S.A. album to be done?

[Shadow X]

In my case there is not much to ask from these guys, but still would like to suggest another lead guitar which share solos w/ Steinar Gundersen. And please don't change anything else.... the first album was so great in every aspect ... even the audio quality ... we got HDCD

 

[noble savage]

I dont care if they put together an entire cd full of yodeling and gregorian chants. I just want a new cd that says " Spiral Architect" On it.

 

[KINGLUDWIG]

........i'm beyond waiting 4 a new release how about some live gigs????

Careful what you wish for...

[IOfTheStorm]

Gregorian chants rule so much. I really think it would be interesting to hear them in prog metal album in the vein of S.A.

 

[fragility]

As with all albums I anticipate...I want to be surprised...though only in a good way....though an ASU part II wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing...I just most value the albums that are unique

yeah you really killed Opeth at Progpower some years ago!

 

[Occam's Razor]

I'd say it with Steve Digiorgio in relation to psychotic Waltz, when he said that those guys could fart into a microphone and he'd buy it.

Apart from that - Do a gig in here in Deutschneyland!

 

[Hieronimus]

If they continue their style, I'm a more than happy man.

You've got to be kidding. Gregorian chants on a SA release?

Thanks for the laugh.

i'm glad that you have helped this band out ... now Neil, will you work with them in the next Album ?

 

[batmura]

As far as I know Neil still is unable to leave the USA, which means he can't produce the new SA album unless the guys decide to record it Stateside. He can mix the stuff though.

Am I wrong, Neil?

[NK]

I honestly don't know if I will be involved with SA in the future. I would definitely like to be, but as Batmura says I am currently unable to travel outside the US which might be end up being a problem. Also, who knows, the band might well prefer to work a different way in the future. I am definitely a huge fan of the band, but I'm also unaware of what the band would like to do next time around. Asgeir has his own studio in Norway now, so they might well prefer to make use of that for the next album rather that doing it in the US. We shall see what happens.

Neil K.

 

[Occam's Razor]

As long as we don't get some Andy-Sneap-assembly-line-production/mix...but I have to say that Neil was involved in many of my all-time favourite albums - and none do sound like others...true class, I think:Spin:

 

[batmura]

I personally think ASC is the most amazing thing Neil Kernon has ever done. Also, with all due respect to Asgeir, I somehow can't see anyone creating such an astonishing sonic quality except NK himself.

It just sucks that Neil is unable to leave the US. I still remember how disappointed I was when I read Neil's post saying he wasn't going to produce Evergrey's Recreation Day. And guess what, I sort of hate RD because of its shitty sound. I love Tom Englund but the production on the last two Evergrey albums are truly awful. He should get someone else to do the production.

 

[Jaen]

. He should get someone else to do the production.

they have the producer of Brintey Spears and Bon Jovi for the next album, no shit.

 

[batmura]

LMAO - who's that? I know BJ worked with Bob Rock, but Britney Spears? That's hilarious. LOL.

 

[Asgeir Mickelson]

It's obvious that we will record the damn(ed) thing in my studio (in fact it was one of the reasons I built it). We are the type of musicians who want to focus for weeks on tiny bits, and with that in mind let's face it: No label on earth will give us the budget which will allow us to use Neil's expertise (or any other great producer). Mixing, however, is another story, but it's way too early to decide who, where, when...

is a producer still needed for a band like SA? i mean you guys have alot of experience in studios with alot of different bands and some of experienced bands try it for there own and mostly it works fine (at least as i hear the end result).

 

[nicosanchez]

It's always better to have a producer, at least as a fresh set of ears in the mixing process.
