Re: lo-fi bands

Klas Fjellgren (surfites_64) - 22 Jul 2005 14:06:46

Ivan, I'm not sure if some of the Daytonas' recordings should be
classified as lo-fi but I do know that we weren't satisfied with how
the two CD albums came out soundwise. Our last release, the double
LP "Parabolica" sounded much better IMO. Personally I wouldn't want
to record anything "lo-fi" on purpose but sometimes it can't be
avoided to some extent to achieve the very important overall sound we
are looking for.
