Maybe that's why they got his producer? These things either work out or they don't. Got to try. The Beta Band are a band that need to self-produce. Steve Mason has the vision, the rest of the boys can fill in the blanks. If nothing else they could use a great engineer/cum producer to just give a bit of back up now and again. God, I love this band so much.
I really wish more people knew about this band. I had the chance to see them in Toronto years back and I passed it up because I was tired or some stupid shit like that. Man, I regret that.
I have always loved their creative, artistic, performance - art videos. After going to the exhibition last Friday, it makes even more sense! The curator was surprised that I'd never been to one of their gigs. I just never got the chance, but I have had "The Three E.P's" cd since it came out - and have discovered the rest of their catalogue in the past coupke of years. Massive love and respect to them ❤❤❤❤ I truly mean this.
Whoa. With headphones, I just now picked up on one of the background layers. It's trippy as hell. It sounds like a girl's voice going like "yaddy-yiddy-yaya-yaddy-yiddy-yaya" . Far out man!
that girl is sam cooke mate.!! John 'magical' Maclean's sampulation science has the power to pervert physics until the most recognisable lyric beat or melody is mangled into a metamorkanmindy morsel of mind moving memory milk, magnetically mixing the mysterious and the familiar into the finest blend of scotch whippetry without incurring vexatious clearance issues.. to this day no one has realised that the beta band album ( first one ) has the entire Led Zeppelin album Four Sticks running underneath it in a tapestry of snippets and samples that would put even Solzhenitsyn to shame by overshadowing the stationary, paper and typewriter he famously smuggled by such courageous keistering into Stalags 9 through 13..
First song I ever tripped on, would not trade it for all the psychedelic furs in the the world - not even my psychotic delusions of grandeur. WONDERUL.
