"Vocals were recorded alternately with a Neumann valve 47, and an Australian Rode valve mic, through a Urei 1176 compressor, and a Pultec valve EQ on a few things. "With months of hindsight, I actually think the Australian mic is a bit too bright, but if it's a good performance, that's it. Maybe the vocal sound suffered from the fact that it was occasionally just thrown down, but I don't think so."
Maybe it was an NTK yes they are a bit bright on vocals as are most Rodes, I still like there clarity though,
I heard the guys on the BBC 6 Music the week the album was out, and Thom said that a lot of it was about is sudden realization that he would one day be dead, take Video tape, in ways a very spiritual look on ether death, and life flashing before you eyes, or as I like to think of it, as Judgment day when our video tapes are played back before the thrown of God and all mankind will see our secrets and then we will be judged innocent, or guilty.
No one has mentioned the other CD 2 on In rainbows, I love it also, great production. Very creative and original.
2 minute warning is top for me
