I just got done listening to the Supahip disc and had to join the chorus
of praise for this one. It would definitely have been high on my 2005
list, but I'm afraid I didn't jump on it until Bruce's special Audities
offer. I'm a procrastinator, but that pushed me into action.
I am an impatient listener with a short attention span ... for me the
quality of an album is based on how many (or how few) "skip-over" tracks
it has. Based on my first listen, I'd say "Seize The World" joins the
small group of albums with zero skip-overs. Awesome stuff.
And I'm glad my first listen was on headphones. I was grinning at the
retro approach to the stereo picture ... unless I miss my guess, every
single sound in the stereo mix is panned hard left, hard right, or dead
center. Haven't heard a mix like that since "Rubber Soul." I've always
loved that kind of sound; it's really immersive but also open and clear.
It's also hard to pull off. I've tried it on some of my own stuff but
usually can't get it to work.
Anyway, just another recommendation in case anyone else out there still
hasn't checked this one out.
