Phobophobia

2nd track from the first studio release from The Sealers, circa 1989. Lots of weird percussion going on here, we had the studio full of people with shakers, bells, even a big piece of stiff paper to make the earthquake noises. Really an exercise in foley and a lot of fun. The first part is an old 4 track tune that Scott did and then the Elephant Walk part is the studio portion. The themes of environmental conservation are repeated throughout a lot of The Sealers' tunes, particularly influenced by the hippie ethos and Magic Bill who joined the band later than this recording. Unlike the vast majority of The Sealers, this tune used a Yamaha DX7, an early digital FM synth instead of analog synths. FM synths in general make pretty fantastic bell sounds and this one is no exception.

The Sealers - I'm Being Watched / Elephant Walk

Magic Bill strikes again with probably his most iconic tune. Distorted guitar is actually an acoustic run direct. I've never liked the sound much but it is honest to what we were doing back then. Besides the awesome vocal delivery by Bill, the synths by Judd and Scott are the most psychedelic things going on here. Juno 6 all over this track, I remember they took turns cutting tracks for this. Pure analog monsters. The story that Bill tells is one we can all relate to I think. Jenny McGinnis on drums, recorded during the period that Scott didn't want to play drums that much anymore and Darin hadn't officially joined us yet. 

The Sealers - Psychotic Ex-Roommate Massacre

A lament of the space shuttle Challenger disaster segs into a diatribe against organized religion. 1989/90 , I think this may have been the first or one of the first tracks Darin played on and he programmed all the drum stuff on one of those Emu-SP1200 drum machines, back when they were new of course. Judd doing a great job on vocals. Lots of flange too.

The Sealers - NASA/Born Again

I can see you in my mind's eye
I know where you sleep at night

A cuddly feel good tune from Scott. We used drum machine for kick and snare and everything else was played live, gives an interesting feel to the rhythm. Some mildly disturbing psychedelia. 

The Sealers - New Way

Fun short reggae instrumental, bass, guitar, drum machine, delay. I was listening to a lot of Lee "Scratch" Perry at the time. 1988 4 trackin' cassette. 

The Sealers - Reggadelic

Closer instrumental for the album Orgasmic Body Buzz. 1988 or 89 4 track cassette remixed onto DAT somewhere down the line. If you listen close you can hear the tape wow and flutter. Psychedelic for sure.

The Sealers - Bill & Peeper Part 1

Studio rat. Genre hopper. Bass & piano player. Writer and builder. Lover of cheeseburgers.

I specialize in the "mistakes are interesting" school of production. So depending on your point of view my selections will either be sloppy or chock full of character. Feel is king. I hate making music with a mouse. Real pianos, tube guitar amps, and a lifetime of listening applied. 

Music and production I like for various reasons: 70's style jazz fusion, Headhunters during Chameleon phase, Frank Zappa, George Duke, Lou Reed, Bill Laswell, Rudy Van Gelder, Tower of Power, The Crusaders, The Meters, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, John Prine, Kev Hopper, Mark Egan, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk, Charles Bukowski, Larry Graham, Peter Gabriel, Niacin, Spinal Tap, Bros. Johnson, Bootsy, Jamerson, Die Kreuzen, Dead Kennedys, Film Noir, The Cramps, Propaganda, Buddy Holly, Surf Guitar, Captain Beefheart, Neil Young, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, Western Swing, Scrunch up your nose stank Funk, modular synth music, ambient, soundtracks, early pre-baroque music.
