Quelques infos pour Genesis puisque Nick Davis vient d'achever le mixage 5.1 SACD de "Nursery Cryme". Il devrait enchaîner avec "Foxtrot" !
Laissons-lui la parole :
"Work on the 'Nursery Cryme' remix was done fairly quickly as some of the tracks were recorded on only 8 tracks. This left limited scope for a major overhaul on some tracks. However, on both the 8 track and 16 track masters, Nick was able to strip out the various different elements that had been recorded on the same tracks and, using the 48 channel desk at The Farm, gain greater control over all of the voices and instruments used. Whilst we were there, Nick was tweaking his remix of 'The Musical Box'. The 5.1 mix sounded extraordinarily powerful with elements emerging from the background that had only previously been hinted at. It sounded like a major sonic leap forward from the 94 re-masters with a far greater dynamic range and clarity".
Work is also coming on leaps and bounds with the cataloguing and digitising of the live tapes found at The Farm.
"Geoff Callingham and Dale Newman are deep into the cataloguing and digitising of the hundreds of sound board tapes stored at The Farm. Hidden away, an unassuming flight case conceals more than it reveals. Within its draws lie literally hundreds of live tapes from the early 70s right through to the CAS Tour. To give an indication of the numbers involved, all of its five draws, bar one, have two layers of tapes and there are many others not yet properly indexed and placed in the catalogue".
Some months ago a list was sent down to Geoff giving the details of some of the more sought after sound board tapes that might be given a high priority in the search (they have not yet started cataloguing rehearsal and out-take tapes). For those of you out there interested in such things I can tell you that, so far, all but two of the concerts listed have been found though, in three cases, first or second part tapes are currently missing".
