What Makes INXS Recordings So Damn Sparkly?

assuming you are not listening to "remastered" versions or whatnot.,,

Hell Yeah!!!
I love TOMB when it comes to threads like this. I've loved KICK since it came out and I still find the need to play a track or two from that record or X a couple times a month. I'd say KICK and U2's Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree are three records that made me want to pick up a guitar and play music/in a band outside of the piano and trumpet lessons I was already taking, well those records AND Appetite for Destruction, of course! Hell, my girlfriend born the same year as KICK and who listens to the most fucked up black metal loves that record and throws it on often.

I've also always wondered how they got that record so damn slick and sparkly...

Anyone who slags saxophone in rock music, I point them in the INXS direction... Either they're "oh yeah, that's right" or they're just not a fan of the band either.

the first 3 INXS albums are not to sparkly. they sound like like typical stuff of that era...dry-ish, dbx noise reduced, bit of rolled off highs. there are some great tracks in there early catalog.

so I'm guess you are talking about Kick or X, cause those mothers sparkle like a British dude in a terrible vampire movie. but yeah, they are pretty darm good. I absolutely love the little clinky funk guitar parts and the fricken sax sounds killer. they're almost bit too sparkly, but the bass and drum mix is full of rich low-end.

They were my second concert ever as a kid, during the kick tour with Steel Pulse. saw my first real life set of boobies when some broads flashes the stage. good times.

This post makes me wish that I could "Like" posts.
