Blue J Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Let the record show that Running Rebel loves Hemispheres and owns the red vinyl copy, but I don't think he will leave SOCN to vote here.He has very pressing matters there...So he thinks. But he would add a lot out here. He says he had all of the seventies' stuff on 8-track. That makes him ancient like us. :codger: :codger: :codger:He has a great backyard too if you haven't seen it....Yes, I have seen the pictures. It's a place I would love for my own. Is this serious?  He and I only live about 20 minutes apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been about a year or less ago that he put them on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Ah, I see. No. I really don't go in there anymore. I much prefer to just talk about music and goof off, these days. :) Â But I can imagine...Miamisburg does have some nice areas of land. There are several outlying areas of Dayton that are like that.

savagegrace26 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Does anyone else think Hemispheres production not so great? Or is it just me? Very harsh and shrill sounding, and even a little muddy. I was listening to the Sectors remaster last night and I guess it's just that one? It obviously sounds almost brickwalled and lacking space.

I was using headphones. It can be almost brickwalled if they mastered that version that way. It's not inherent in the song itself. It just sounds harsh. Or maybe I'm getting sensitive to digital music and need to go back to analog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
