I did too. Certainly a fan only album.I put this LP on today- and it sounded SO good! Rich and warm.
I’m fascinated with the insane contrast in sound between this and Horizon, and later Passage. Horizon sounded towering, crisp, and and dimensional whereas Hush sounds much flatter, muted, small scaled, and Passage sounding quite muddy. I know new equipment/studio was used for Horizon and they broke their backs recording it, but why wasn’t this studio treatment heard in any way on later sessions? Did they stop whatever method because of how painstaking it was?
I’m no expert, but aurally Horizon has to be one of the most timeless records from that era, it sounds like a warm razor blade, cutting into a human heart with scary precision. I know that by Hush they were even more exhausted but technically speaking it sounds worlds apart from that enigmatic horizon.
Can't wait to read it! I've grown to love this album more and more over the years.We talk about it in the book… specifically mentioned in the discography. There IS a logical explanation for this.
Tomorrow (June 11) this album will have been out for 47 (!) years. My blog will have a quirky connection to that fact tomorrow.
One More Time,
RIP Jim Seals:
