Don't forget that Elbow's Seldom Seen Kid was mixed ITB too.

Still love listening to this album after listening to it for ages. Love the way the production isn't too in your face. A lot has to be said for the arrangements as well. Lots of space.

Reading about how it was recorded was an absolute inspiration. Thanks.

Great thread! Reminds me of the Jonsi and Alex thread. So, thanks for the great show in San Luis Obispo in Nov!
HAHA! there's that SE reflction thing in the video... It's great to be a slut but the gear bashers need to go back into their holes.

mostly mic'd with a Neumann TLM103 going directly into a Digi002

Great job with the mixing, man. Big fan of your overall sound, not just the songs.

The new album sounds great as well. Took me a little to warm up to but i listen to it a good bit. tried getting tickets 3 months ahead for the show here in new orleans for me and my girlfriend and they sold out in 10 minutes the day they went on sale and scalpers want $80 a ticket. oh well... hope i manage to find a way to get in april and they release more tickets.

Just wanted to say again how much I love Rostam's production skills. Keep posting here. It makes this place better and reinforces that it's not about the gear who's using it that counts

I can't download the Spring reverb anymore. Is it just me??
