Someone asked:
Hi, Can anybody inform me as to what treatments(effects) Daniel uses in
studio for his huge guitar sounds,please
In an interview w/ DL in some guitar magazine a ways back, DL said he
uses, among other things, an Ibanez MosFet distortion pedal, called a
Mostortion box. It's been discontinued by Ibanez, but you can find em
used if you look hard enough. I found two myself. Big, rich fuzz tone,
which provides great feedback sustain.

Subject: new dylan album
the new dylan album,produced by mr daniel lanois is done. there has been
a meeting of the minds as to what was to be on the album and everyone is
happy. reports that the album has been delayed or cancelled is untrue.
so says "he who knows all things". everyone will be more tahn happy with
the results.

Hi-
Yet another note to these protracted discussions of the Slingblade
soundtrack. Although soundtrack albums are produced, obviously, with a
profit motive, soundtrack music is primarily designed to work with the
visuals in the film to creat emotions and feelings associated with
something beyond the visual or sonic. In pursuit of this, one might check
out _Unheard Melodies_ by Claudia Gorbman or _Audio Vision_ by Michel
Chion (esp. the portions on what he terms "synchresis"). True, lotsa
sountrack album can work as stand-alones, but all this itchy criticism of
the Slingblade offering seems to be based on comparing it to Wynonna,
which I think is unfair. I agree with those who dislike the addition of
extraneous tracks to the soundtrack disc, a cheap shot by Island. See
the Dead Man Walking disc (which I also own, and LIKE, thank you very
much) for another blatant example of this. But to me, listening to
Slingblade (and I will probably buy the tape when it comes
out on video), conjures up many images, then emotions, and can lead to
rich dialog about many moral issues associated with what I think
is a dandy flick. I go for the big sensory blowout when I flip on the
disc. DL is the messenger of a lot more than the music here, folks. Don't
shoot him. Just don't buy the disc if it's not your cup o' latte'.

As long as we're on the subject of Kingsway, which is the right address? I
was told it's at Esplanade and Chartres. Two people gave slightly
conflicting addresses - is it at St. Charles or Chartres? Thanks. I hope no
one minds my asking about this, or that it is being discussed in the Digest.
