Full-bore, crunchy one-man-band home-recorded (Kennedy Space Station) masterpiece. He used one Audio-Technica stereo condenser mic and three SM57s through a Tascam M108 board through a 20-bit Layla converter to a 400 MHz Pentium II PC onto Vegas Video (!) for the basic tracking, with some drums done in Fruity Loops. Overdubs were done on a Dell 900 MHz laptop through the 1/8" input, as was mixing. Mastering was done in WaveLab. Vocals were on a SM57, Rode 100 or the Audio-Technica. "Brain in a Room" is one of the coolest tunes I've heard in a while. An exciting rock record with fun sounds. On a budget! (www.sealevelrecords.com)

I finished writing all these "reviews" and then realized that one of the CDs I'd been listening to most was this one. Bettie Serveert have been around for years now, and is a great guitar pop band....
