The CHB - "Hall of the Mountain Bing" mix update 3/12/09

Long time since I've been in here but it has fallen to me to read you all this scroll which follows...

Like the majority of over-blown space epic productions that have occured in the last century this one to is disjointed in it's chronological presentation. Some would cynically suggest that it is merely down to the commercial aspects of making up a sequel when the unleashing of Asparupuss on an unsuspecting planet struck greater fear on the inhabitants of Earth than was anticipated.

Was the time right to exploit the masses and to bolt another chapter onto the previous yarn?

Decide for yourself but the quaffers of the barely drinkable brown beverage available at the Coffee House in Sonarland have known for a long time the evil doings of Bing the Berciless for aoens, and as if by way of proof of that their combined age goes back even further than that.

Nay, they have been patiently waiting to introduce the bad news to those that inhabit the pleasant grassy vales of the planet Earth whilst trying to postpone the inevitable arrival of the product of Bing's appaling personal hygeine standards.

Today nobody need blame the strangest smells on the family dog, tis true enough Bing is on his way and those left standing will have to set aside gentler pursuits more normally associated with the human race, like suing the neighbours over parking rights, and unify to join in the fight against evil itself which will become manifest in the 24/7 stench of the Berciless ones armpit aroma that will pervade the sweet smelling air we currently know and love!

This then as a familiarization excercise for you warriors soon to be is the first chapter dating from the pre-history of the despicable Bing the Berciless depicting the black hole of filth from which he/it/that emerged.

A song from the tortured archive of the fatigued cosmic war veterans Steve Strummer and Ed Kocols' minds strap yourself down and inflict upon yourselves....

Mix Updated 3 December '09

Bapu has uploaded a corrected mix after some suggestions made here, thank to those who pointed them out.

• Bass level significantly increased
• HMF 'fizz' decreased caused by 'verb on one of the drum tracks.
• UAD2 Fatso tape sim applied to various drum mic tracks.
• Various mysterious and sundry miscellany applied in Bapu's lab.

a truly epic sonic assault from that enigma we know as the CHB.  Oh that nasty Bing, he/it/she/that certainly has a penchant for some heavy guitar work!  And at just under 10 mins., I'd say that is a record for the songs forum in recent history (although I could be wrong).

Kudos all around, great performances, great mix and great fun!

scuse me while I take a hit of acid and go listen again

I'll throw in some cheese

That is beyond cool!  Amazing and super fun.  Jon, it sounds like you must have worn yourself out on the drums.  Crazy!  And whoever's playing that wild guitar...wow.  Anyway, great job everyone.  Fun! 

Um... could I please have a translation key for the credits? 

Ridiculously good, btw.....

Which bit are you having trouble with?  I'll try and help but I can't read my own writing usually. I shoulda been a doctor.

We all were kinda wondering you wrote too Bouy.

This is EPIC! Now there are 2 CHB songs to be absorbed! Bing and Puss BING AND PUSS  bing and Puss BING AND PUSS bing and puss Bing and Puss

@ Foxy, Jules, CLEAN, Scotty, Janet, bayoubill - Thanks so much for your support. We're glad you liked it.
 
@ Oaf - That is why, for $149.99, today only, we offer that option, send us money please!
 
@ Wookie - I struggled with that vox question quite a bit. space_cowboy did an interesting treatment on his vox and if I raised them too much, the treatment was (overly) in your face. Besides, what's a tad amongst friends, right?
 

I can send you a check! I leave it blank as you know more of how much to fill in.

I really felt like going out and punching somebody during this song!

Damn!  One fine collaboration guys!  Very cool.

I meant to say I LOVE the intro. That was so cool and drew me in right away.  :-)   There are several other extremely cool things, but you guys are too good for me to comment on them all the first time around.  I'll probably be back for another listen. :-) 

What bitrate did you settle on?

 
I made a 128k mp3 from the 16-bit master and uploaded that directly to Soundclick.
 
BTW, thanks for your support and kind words.
 

That's amazing Ed... I didn't think you could retain that amount of quality at 128k...

What was used to master the project?
