Wow!! Thanks so much for posting this! I love Massenburgs work! This chick sounds really great too. I love her phrasing, especially on that elevator song. I also love how lush and big the song is, especially at the beginning. What about when the drums come in though, if I could just point out one slight disagreement, or difference in interpretation. I like how they sit somewhat in the middle and drive the song behind her, but the space kind of throws me. Before they kick in, its huge and really, well, lush is the ideal word I can use, and the drums just kind of (not ruin because it's a beautiful mix) make it a little less believable, almost? I know you wouldn't want to wash it out and put it in the exact same space, but it seems they could use a different treatment. The drummer is almost playing a little too reserved as well, at least for me. It's a pretty intense, driving song. I would have liked to hear a more aggressive drummer that really cracked the snare with a slightly bigger space, or different space around the drums. What the hell am I saying though? These guys are master craftsmen. Unfortunately, I can't find the other mix though, I just see the one on her second album down. I love to listen to how another genius mixer interprets the tune.
