Still i'd love to hear something recorded on only 8 tracks that sounded like my above references - does anyone on GS think they could pull that off?

I'm guessing if the artists involved nailed the takes it would be possible - which may be the whole issue.

Worth a try, even just as an attempt to push limitations...
The records you mentioned have nothing to do with tracks ..its the drum sound, room sound, and the distorted guitars. All conventional stuff and no challenge for eight track.
