Recording Technology History

Coudal’s Fresh Signals points us to the incomparable WFMU, where they posted a video of Teo Macero talking about producing Miles Davis and his legendary Bitches Brew.

Absolutely worth a look if you love making music, recording studios, and record production.

One of our favorite new bands has been featured as one of 8 acts to watch in 2008 by Spin Magazine.

Chester French is gearing up for their spring ‘08 debut release, Love The Future, on Pharrell’s Star Trak/Interscope imprint.

As we’ve posted previously, we were stoked to be part of this project back in July of last year when we tracked horns for these up and comers.

Now they’re revving the hype engine and regularly updating their myspace blog and facebook page, so get signed up as a fan as be ready to brag that you knew ‘em before they blew up!

From the Spin article :

“With its watery keyboards, minorkey melody, and poor-little-rich-girl lyrics, the band’s “She Loves Everybody” brings the smoky pop genius of the Zombies oohing and aahing back to life. Likewise, “People” and “The Jimmy Choos” — rife with chugging guitars, wafting vocals, and oddball sound effects — could be lost singles dug up from Brian Wilson’s sandbox.”

Congrats, D.A. and Max! Looking forward to cheering you on to some precious metal!
