 Post subject: What producer have you liked the most?Posted: Wed Dec 31, 2003 8:26 am 
I think it would be awesome if eisley worked with Mike Mogis. I like all of their songs, however, I think those recorded with Mike Mogis were the best recordings. Agree? Disagree? No opinion? _________________ "I have this recurring lucid dream where I'm checking my email and I have all these message from my cat analyzing my life" |

I actually think the Aaron Sprinkle track was the best. The drum sounds were amazing! My favorite drum sounds since Interpol's lp. |

I'd have to say Aaron also. And apart from the sounds — which came out great — he also got something out of them vocally that no one else has. I wanna saw maturity, but that doens't quite describe it. He said that when he produces, he tries for a really relaxed, comfortable environment. Maybe that was part of it. _________________ "It's the new golden fact." |

I want to work with Aaron very badly. He and Jon Brion are my favorite producers out there today. Oh, and Nigel, too. |

I like Marvelous Things production wise. I love guitar buzz, but the drums were far too weak on Laughing City, for example. Weston shakes the room, and the drums sound soft on Laughing City. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Aaron is absolutely the man. No worries. Aaron will be involved long term, I believe. Rob's work with Elliot Smith is respected in the industry as legendary. You have to look at the band really carefully to find the best match for a producer. Eisley has an indie sound but needs a little more finesse and careful attention to tone than *Mike Mogis might deliver (based on the his work with Eisley...for example, nobody in the band liked the mixes...especially the vocal captures/tones which lack warmth and quality and the kick drum tones are seriously poor...and he didn't understant the importance of "guitarness" at all)... but Aaron, on the other hand is very high end and could deliver a great record. Perhaps it would be too perfect. (?) *Mike Mogis is brilliant and is one of the nicest, most humble guys around, and if given the chance...say, more that 9 days, could probably also deliver a record that would make us all smile. He didn't have much time, granted. We've been talking much about this issue of perfection and commercial ization and how it effects a generation who abhores fakeness but embraces reality. Records that are perfect (I'll purposely leave out examples) stay in our play playlist solid for a while, but have a short life exectancy... Name your favorite rock records. I'll wager that your top 10 have a quality that you can't put your finger on that makes it the best. I'll guarantee you it's not because it was radio-ready. Think of Pink Floyd, Radiohead just for starters. ...not very commercial. On the other hand, very real. very honest, very warm. very awesome. I believe that Production excellence highlights the unexpected moments as much as the expected, embraces the fragility as a way of protecting what is genuine about a band, stays away from coined, canned, cliche' (proven) patterns accepted and embraced by the radio gods (who profit from cloning crap rather than encouraging original art). This is a topic I have conversations with people about every day. I could wear it out. Sorry. All that to say, Rob has the right mind to understand these subtlties and is, in fact truely wired (in his brain) to deliver a record that has warmth, creativity, beauty, that rocks, that radio will have to face (the music), and that will last. Remember, the biggest burden is on Eisley. It's all about the songs, guys. And Eisley is all about songs. This record must deliver the songs... I believe it will.

It all sounds very exciting, Boyd. Can't wait for the final product. I look forward to your great updates during the recording process... P. _________________ "Enjoy Every Sandwich" - Warren Zevon "What's Life Without Music?" - The Mermaid Purse www.myspace.com/ptah |

I'm sorry, but the Mike Mogis drum sound has never been good, especially the kick drum. |

I really liked it when I said that. I felt all like smart and stuff. But now I feels all stupid and stuff, which is why I'm really going to get up right now and make coffee. Let's start an exploration of Rob's work; listen to his productions and get to the bottom of all this. Becuz one thing is for sure; Rob is producing Eisley's first full length. It could determine whether there's even going to be a second record. Just kidding. WB has to make a second. _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

i dislike indie recordings. the drums always sound like they aren't with everything else. and almost every indie album ive heard sounds like it wasnt mastered well, or mastered at all. goodbye. |

yes. I agree....sorta. achieving indiness (the essence) without the intentional poor production is the goal. Weston and I are sticklers... (very exacting) on drum sounds. No worries. No bad outcome. Promise. _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.
