Chris Butler, long-time Tape Op reader and formerly of The Waitresses, is a man after our hearts. Recording here was done on Studer J-37 4-track, Ampex A300 mono deck, Neumann VMS62 Special Lathe, Tascam 244 Porta-Studio, wire recorder, Edison "Spring Motor" phonograph, and the Rolling Stones Mobile (2" 3M 16-track). Damn. Chris' crazy, wordy songs certainly feel different from each other due to all these crazy recording formats. Mastering, by Dave Steel at DBS, must have been a nightmare... (beezwax2@aol.com)

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
by John Baccigaluppi
OK, so this isn't a CD, but rather a documentary film about making a CD, this year's excellent Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Chicago's Wilco. About a third of the film is studio scenes in the band's loft...
