Multi-Media Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 For you short question: Is this Youtube upload quite bad quality and if yes, is the CD much better? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wjUkGxCTzU Thanks Quote
Goa-Head Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Admittedly haven't listened to the video clip but that album has mastering issues if I remember well. That said, you should get the CD, you'll surely like it Quote
Penzoline Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 The actual album is very muddy throughout. Dunno if it it's mixing or mastering but it's not great. Quote
the goa constrictor Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 The Prophecy was the only MFG product that I got. It was okay but not strong enough for me to buy more from them... Quote
Ormion Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 It's really muddy, especially the Sunshine track. But IMO this adds to the beauty of the album. The raw, dirty, watery sound.The album is a masterpiece btw. Quote
Starkraver Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 IMO this is their best album. You should totally get the CD. Quote

Anoebis Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Kick ass cd with very muddy production indeed... But it has its charm for sure... Why? sounds so raw... LOVE IT Quote
Anoebis Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 overrated cd imo Really? I think even underrated, it is lost in the psy trance history now... even MFG never plays a track of it in his live sets... Quote
angular_sound Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Not their best album but it has a unique warm and muddy sound that is refreshing for the ears when your random music player picks a song from it from time to time. Quote
Ormion Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I'm kinda surprised by some conmments here. IMO this is MFG's best album. It was one of the first proper dark goa albums and has some of the best tracks ever written. Intelligent Machine, On Mars, Why? Legendary. Quote

We are talking about the mudiness not the musical quality Quote
Celaripo Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Really? yes the music is good but it is ruined by a terrible mastering their 4th album the message has a great mastering - the music is less good however even MFG never plays a track of it in his live sets... probably because of the poor mastering Quote
Multi-Media Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 yes the music is good but it is ruined by a terrible mastering their 4th album the message has a great mastering - the music is less good however probably because of the poor mastering Butttttt.........if it is "TRUE" live than the mastering on the CD has no impact ? Or are you saying they play the CDs on their live sets? LOL Quote
Multi-Media Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 I wish I could think like that but I just love clarity in EDM.. Yes, me too. There is a fine live however when I would call it overproduced (the word here is loudnss race).... In case of certain metal, rock productions a "muddy" production may contribute to the athmosphere (mostly death,black or psychedelic rock). However when I compare eg. Mayhems early "productions" (and also 1 or 2 of the later ones which have also bad production maybe because they want to sound" trve" than I prefer still the better production of "DMDS" or "Wolfs Lair Abyss".....and in electronic this would be more so the case. As long it isnt too "loud" and clips. Quote
Multi-Media Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 IMO this is their best album. You should totally get the CD. This was my impression too.... I would like to make a compilation from them. We can find some good tracks on their other albums too. But sadly they have not the consistent (musical) quality like Genesis has. However the mastering of Genesis will not fit in with the other tracks. If I had the raw audio tracks without any master applied I could master it myself and get a better result (I did this already with an old EBM track and it worked it sounds much better than the original imo).. some of noise, mud... could be filtered I guess. However it would lose some information in these frequency ranges. Quote
