The Wigmaker In Eighteenth-Century Williamsburg
(Menlo Park - MPK7020) Used 2xCD $15.00
To Live And Shave In L.A.’s magnum opus, seven years in the making. “The only record I’ve ever heard that sounds like it was worked on continuously for seven years,” raves Chris Sienko, “The mix is dense, yet completely lucid … [with] at least four layers of different kinds of manipulations (tape edits, digital processing, computer manipulation, multitrack gymnastics)…. Layers shift in and out of focus, dissolve to static, intentionally overload, desaturate, flip to negative and snap back into shape with nary a tear in the fabric…. It’s like listening to a cubist mixtape of glam, death metal and no wave, with each and every facet remorselessly visible … a wake-up call to the avant community…. [T]he studio techs are going to be talking about (and maybe even studying in school) the mix on this album in twenty years – I have no doubt about that…. [T]he bar has been raised significantly.”
