Can you tell us all about the record process? Medium? Mics? Instruments?
also, where can I get your first EP?

I'll put my other records online shortly, good point.
I'll try to stick to the constants about recording details, since I didn't record any of the songs together (one song at a time, with different setups):
All recorded digitally and mixed ITB. Mainly with Panasonic WZ-AD96 converters. I did print many of the mixes through outboard compression (ny2a and/or/maybe g-ssl).
Acoustic guitars are mostly Larrivee D-03 mic'd with lawson l47fet and maybe stereo rooms. Shitty $1 unbalanced hi-z mic on moving song.
Electric guitars are all Fender japanese strat with bill lawrence p/u's, mostly recorded with beyer m201 or m88
Bass: mainly DI (hamptone jfet or bryston), often reamped through ampeg b15s, mic'd with l47fet
Keys, synth bass: ensoniq esq-1, straight into EMU soundcard
Vox: M88 on secret tattoo (reamped also)
Lawson l47fet on giving up (overdriven with hamptone tube pre)
Nady/Peluso 47 clone on invocation, liar eyes, reach up, long term
radioshack dynamic for most of the background vox and lead vox on 'moving song'
preamps vary
Drums... changed up a lot.
Secret Tattoo is just 4 mics on one drum kit, with lots of SSL compression (in parallel in the chorus), Invocation has 3 drum kits going the whole song... I recorded each song separately. I guess the main things that would be in common would be:
1. me playing
2. slingerland kick drum and rogers or ludwig metal snare
3. sleepytown room
4. quad eight preamps for kick and snare, sometimes overheads too
5. usually set up a stereo pair as well as a mono o/h. xy rooms sometimes.
Pretty much everything else (heads, tuning, placement in the room, mic'ing, preamps, mixing) was changing up. But if there's a specific song you like the sound of I can probably remember.
Thanks for the acclamations guys! You are pumping me up.
