the owls record is probably my favourite.
mike kinsella is a great drummer and it was amazing to hear him playing with such clarity. same goes for victor villareal.

otherwise it has to be "run to ruin", "pod" or "surfer rosa".

The Owls record is way on up there.

Neurosis Times of Grace/Sovereign are in the running, too. I seem to like these recordings a little better than the last two albums - its just the drum sound in Studio B - works really well for their louder stuff.

Cheer-Accident's Introducing Lemon is probably going to take it. There's a whole lot of studio trickery going on, and it all sounds flawless.

Oh- it wasnt at EA, but Storm&Stress's first record really fascinates me. I need to draw up some "Question for Steve" questions about that one.

Now, if the melvins would suck it up and go to EA.... we might have to make some revisions.

Oh, and "Flies the Fields" is arguably the best work Bob's done, period. That record sounds amazing and makes me proud that at least Atlanta has Zero Return. Not much else, but at least that...

The Redneck Manifesto is from Ireland right?

Shite, yeah, that's another one...

Stiff Little Fingers are from Northern Ireland and are one of my favorite rock bands. A friend recently gave me a "Suspect Device" t-shirt that rules much ass.

I would also argue that Sinead O'Connor's The Lion and the Cobra is a fine album.

Have fun, Stewie!

my favorite Albini recording is the extremely rare 7" "fart in a windstorm" (touch and go #001) you can really hear the subtlleties in his mic placement. I think I read somewhere he used a beyer m500. It's what made me want to become an engineer.
I have it on my Ipod on repeat. I go to sleep listening to it. Although his follow up 7" "S.B.D" (touch and go #002) wasn't as crisp and I think the reverb gave it a very wet almost juicy sound, it's still worth checking out.

I'll throw my hat into the ring...

Owls - love the spatial feel of the record. Definitely one for listening in headphones.

Ativin: Summing The Approach - the bad part is it's only 4 songs. The drums just sound HUGE. You can really hear the room sound on that one.

My favorite Weston recording: Hurl: We Are Quiet In This Room. Was this recorded at EA?

salut dlayphoto!

Favorite Steve recording? Easy: The Frames' "For the Birds" (also an all-time favorite).

MajorEverettMiller!

Thank you for mentioning this record! I had not heard the Frames before! I downloaded "For the birds", and it is very pleasant! I will buy it!

How are their other records?!
