Intentional backround static on A Fair Judgment between 3:48 and 4:30

[pac1288]

Have any of you noticed this static.

Its the same type of static you hear when you play a record(vinyl) I think its nice how they added that in the background of that little acoustical piece, giving it more character which is always nice.

Thoughts?

Nope didnt notice....but Peter Lindgren on that interview on the radio in australia....said they kept the recording simple and he said it almost sounds like an old recording like from 1970
so there u go :smile:

 

[City_of_da_Moon]

oops that was supposed to be a smile

 

[Parasite]

Sounds like rain...

 

[MountainDweller]

I noticed it. It does sound like a record (and only plays left speaker). The same sort of effect is also used in Katatonia's "Right Into The Bliss".

Hmm...I've mentioned Katatonia along with "A Fair Judgement" before...

I think all the subtle little touches like this on Deliverance are great.

Yeah I love the way that part is recorded. I get a very medieval feel from it for some reason.

 

[Protected Witness]

It kinda sounds like a harpsichord to me.

Soooo beautiful...

"In Mist She Was Standing" is a real medieval sounding song....

i LOVE the way they did that.. i must learn to use little things like that effectively.

I love Static. Static is the best, absolutely brilliant and amazing!!

Static that is.

 

[Blackhorse_Experience]

kinda sounds like classical guitar to me... like bouree or something

 

[Revelation #9]

Yeah, Dream Theater did that trick on Metropolis Part II and Nevermore did it on Dead Heart in A Dead World. Good effect. I take back the problems I had earlier with Deliverance. I love it now. Those silly challenging, fun-loving guys in Opeth, I'm tellin' ya.

 

[City_of_da_Moon]

LOL

I personally love the part right after that... the double singing there is so beautiful...

my cousin's band had a cd out and they did that effect, except not as subtle and it actually made a listener wish he had the CD instead of the vinyl.. until remembering that it was the cd, and the effect was just a pretentious ploy to take your attention off the substandard guitar work. luckily opeth did it right.

 

[Revelation #9]

Yep.

That's why I love it so much . The whole of Orchid has this 'old' sound to me.. the lyrics also (incoherent babble in verses, yummy). I also like it because it sounds straight-up metal aswell.
