Hi,

I have just finished mixing an artist called Second Person which is a jazz/trip-hop duo. I seem to be doing a lot of jazz recently which is pleasant. I also did vocal production with a rock band called Nemesea last month. I engineered and co-produced the recently released album from The Bad Plus.

I have no particular preference in music style although there are some I really don't like much.

Artists I have recently liked albums by are Arcade Fire, Amy Winehouse, Rufus Wainright, Bjork, Joanna Newsome, Dr John.

....... and thank you for the kind words.

I do keep wondering why so many of these 'older' bands are able to stoke up so much more than the homogenized rock currently around. I have been watching bits of the broadcasts from Glastonbury this year (is it me or did someone go a little too wild with the vocal compression!?) and I couldn't listen to more than one song from the Kaiser Chiefs but was transfixed by The Who.

Bats for Lashes were superb though and have you checked out Scott Matthews yet?

I agree.....having watched most of the coverage of Glastonbury via BBC 2, 3 and 4 on the weekend. A case in point was watching the BBC split between live coverage of The Killers on the pyramid stage and Iggy & The Stooges on the "other" stage.... it was like night & day. I sat and watched the blokes who've been bringing out the rock since before I was a twinkle in the old man's eye slay arguably the hottest band in the world right now.

While I don't quite qualify for "old fart" status (I'm 32) and my tastes are still evolving, I'd agree on the distinct lack of intensity/originality in a lot of new cookie cutter bands out there now. Not in all cases, but in most of what the majors are churning out. dfegad
