JUST FINISHED A FULL DAY AT BERNIE GRUNDMAN'S MASTERING STUDIOS IN HOLLYWOOD. THE STUFF SOUNDED GREAT !!! JOE AND I WILL LIVE WITH THESE FINAL DISCS FOR ABOUT A WEEK, DECIDING IF EVERYTHING FLOWS WELL AND IF ALL IS BALANCED WELL, MAKING EACH CUT COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER.
THE SEQUENCE SEEMS TO WORK WELL TOO...UP IN THE CANYON IS FINALLY AS MUCH "IN YOUR FACE" AS ALL THE OTHERS.
BERNIE IS A LEGEND IN HIS BUSINESS...GOOD GRIEF, THIS IS THE GUY WHO MASTERED "THRILLER"...AS WELL AS COUNTLESS OTHER LEGENDARY ALBUMS THROUGH THE YEARS. HE ALSO HAS A STUDIO IN JAPAN. HIS WALLS ARE FILLED WITH GOLD AND PLATINUM AND MULTI PLATINUM AWARDS...THE PLACE IS LIKE A MINI HISTORY OF POP MUSIC.
AND HE PERSONALLY LIKED THE ALBUM...SAID THAT JOE AND I "REALLY KNEW WHAT WE WERE DOING"...HIGH PRAISE INDEED FROM ONE OF THE MASTERS...
ALL IN ALL, A VERY, VERY GOOD DAY...
ATG IS ON THE WAY...
GL & GH...
LITM...
PEACE HERE...
