If you told 20 year old me - 20+ years later you will be watching a video of solo’d and mixed in real time multitracks from the Fantastic Planet sessions with the engineer/composer himself, I’d be speechless 😶 Thanks - that was, pardon me, FANTASTIC!!!

I'm so glad Ken and Greg got back in touch with each other. This is the one reunion I REALLY wanted to happen! I was the only Failure fan in my town, I thought maybe I just liked a shi**y band and didn't know it...years later did I realize that everybody else just had crap taste in music!

Ken Andrews They way you both touch peoples lives and emotions through not just the lyrics but also the unique sounds like encapsulate them is remarkable. Much like Fantastic Planet held songs that invoked feelings without words and at times I felt myself adding my own lyrics. You steal my feelings and show me I am not alone and that this is how you feel about them because they are yours as well. Your not just some cocky vocalist but in love with music in itself. Your highly intelligent and extremely creative with the selfless ability to share your love which puts you right there next to Trent Reznor. Your accolades are quite similar to Trent in a lot of ways and I hope to see you join the prestige known as “The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.” I am honored that you took the time to read my initial message and I just want to say thank you for being part of the soundtrack to my life. Gratefully listening since 1994. Peace Ken!

This is spectacular. I've been studying mixing for a while, but to see a song I really dig deconstructed by the person who recorded and mixed it is hugely informative. BTW, I was a depressed college student when Fantastic Planet came out and I just remember that whenever the video for 'Stuck On You' would play on MTV it gave me goosebumps and put a smile on my face, so, Thanks!

Ken, I have sung your praises as a musician and producer ever since I got my hands on my own copy of Fantastic Planet in 1996, including several of my producer friends. To me it's one of the greatest rock albums ever produced and was so different from what was becoming a very derivative rock music scene in the mid-late 1990s. I just discovered your channel yesterday and I have watched every single video. Thank you for taking time from your busy life and schedule to indulge nerdy middle-aged fans like myself with this channel.

Incredible just incredible. I lived in the country side of San Antonio about 4 years ago. Bought this CD after a review on a magazine talking about the bass tone of this album. I built effect pedals and worked on guitars. I was working as a dialysis nurse, waking up early, listening to this album at 3am in the way to work. Greatest time of my life. All of a sudden, I was deceived, hit dark times, moved back in with my parents, and then I got to really really understand the record. The lyrics, the setting, the claustrophobic feel yet optimistic outlook. It really helped. Now I’m a registered nurse, more free time and a little more $$$, I’ve finally invested in myself and bought an Apollo and constantly buying plugins and anything new that people are going crazy over in music. Thanks for your work and the fact your still giving everyone the tools for making their musical dreams come true.

Been a massive fan of your work since, and I'm happy af that Failure is active again. You guys are my absolute favorite! Anyway, I used to spend hours wading through gearslutz back in the early 2000's in the hopes of any inkling of how you went about a mix, to little avail. Learned a few things there, but would've killed for these vids! Thanks again and keep em coming!
