the cryogenic strawberries reviewed. I guess?

"The Cryogenic Strawberries-St Failure
..... Some of the music is actually kind of good and DeSade can make you chuckle here and there, but most of the time this does not happen and DeSade can be a little creepy and/or scary. The tracks blend together so that five can go bye without you knowing and the track listing is also screwed up as well (unless that is another joke as well). Not recommended."
FROM: The Creative Intersection

NOT RECOMMENDED (for the weak of heart/ears)
The beginning of the review is the author stating that this is the weirdest thing they've ever heard. And if you can possibly say that about any type of music that is a sign that maybe your conception of normal is completely weird.

ANYWAYS:
The Cryogenic Strawberries - "The Awful Gas That Deforms You" will be 1019records#thirty something (???) c20 concept album inspired by Devo, Orwell, and nuclear explosion footage. Coming out january 2010

palmyardcraftnight update #74920

I did something strange this weekend.


I worked on the palm yard album.



palm tapes
This is the box of tape that I haven't opened since the last time we recorded. I think in september or something?


plmyrd ds-1
Palm Yard is all about the boss corporation brand ds-1 model distortion pedal. We use it for everything. I might have actually used too much while I was bouncing stuff to computers.


too much cabling
We recorded on my big tascam 4-track, but some of the faders on that board are too clogged with weed resin and dust. Luckily the thing has direct outs so I just run the tape signal straight into another mixer


mixing
Running stuff through some pedals. Every track on this album has been run through an old black Alesis reverb box at some point in the process. Most everything goes through a ds-1 or a red boss distortion. Lots of equalizer pedals as well for blowing out the special frequencies.


digital audio interface
Out the tape deck into the mixer out into the pedals and then back into the mixer and then out the mixer a different way into the recording interface plugged into a laptop onto the usb drive onto my other computer through audacity mastered to wav/tape.
I bounced everything with the instrumental mix in the left and the vox on the right. The end result will be an epic concept album in mono.



it is on my computers yes
YES I do indeed have 3/4 of this album in a listenable state on my computer.
But santa (cruz) has bad news: this shitgaze aint gonna be under your tree this year.
Maybe a presidents day gift? I don't know.
