This is what I thought as well, but upon further examination... I don't think thats what the demo is. 98% sure it's a demo of the song "On Letting Go" which must have had the working title Devils Song. I hope I am wrong though
given that we know what became 'devils song' on avalon was originally concieved within the group as a circa song, I'm 100% sure it will be a demo of devils song.
I didn't realize that there was already On Letting Go (Demo) on that track list, so you could be right. Just the way other songs are listed on the track list... I Wanna Live (Living Together Demo) 2:57 Ace of Base (The Greatest Lie Demo) 3:28 Salsa (Mandala Demo) 3:09 Sexy Groovy (Close Your Eyes to See Demo) 2:52 Devils Song (On Letting Go Demo Version) 4:40 just the way the write it makes it seem like what I said. Guess it could be either way
Same. Huge influential album for me. Also wish they'd do an album with Brian mcteran again. He made those layered guitars sing
A handful of my friends are gonna be at the show too so I'll be sure to hang out with the regular folk. Can't wait to see Circa with a bunch of my friends. Always an amazing feeling
I thought the consensus on Mcteran was he was bad? Everyone always complains about the thrice and Emarosa albums he's worked on. I personally love his work on Juturna.
The aesthetic on Juturna/OLG certainly suits this band better than the heavily-compressed, clipped, radio-targeted production on BSN. With that being said, I'm sure there are other producers who could've done a better job of it than McTernan. I'm not a big vinyl guy, but I downloaded a rip of the OLG LP and now I never listen to the CD anymore. Despite a lot of surface noise on the vinyl, the digital master sounds muddy as hell by comparison - it's probably the starkest difference between CD vs. vinyl I've ever heard, in fact (especially when focusing on the vocals and cymbals). I guess that indicates OLG's muddy sound may be more the fault of the mastering engineer than McTernan, but someone who actually does or studies this stuff for a living could probably elaborate.
I am kinda indifferent on him. I love his work with Circa, and I like Emarosa's Versus. But at the same time, I feel like there's a lot of better options than him.
whatever he did for circa was very good imo. the other stuff he does is by bands I don't care for. the thrice stuff he did is rough af but it's also really old so whatevs
These guys were amazing at Chain Fest... been a while since I've listened to their albums in full, should change that since the OLG 10-year tour is coming up.
He has a lot more misses than hits. His best works are olg and the two graduate albums. He botched separation big time.
I love it except for maybe the percussion but god Ive disliked their drums big time on BSN and Descensus
