stormdogMy nice speakers live on either side of the TV, which means that when I'm sitting at my computer, they're both off to my right. It had been long enough since I sat down between them and really listened that I was enchanted anew by them. Closing my eyes, it's not hard to 'see' the layout of the instruments where the person running the mixing board put them.
I listened to my two favorite songs from Blind Melon's eponymous album, Change and No Rain. Shannon Hoon's vocals are so sharp and unprocessed on Change, with crisp consonants and bright sibilants. On No Rain, his vocals are processed; slightly echoy, slightly...I don't know. Processed. I'd never noticed that before. I prefer the sharper sound, though the processing choice for No Rain was intentional, I'm sure, to fit the mood. It made me want to listen to some singing where the singer was being up close and personal with a nice microphone just to listen to all those beautiful details.
