Wish It Never Came [Demo]16. 920 Blues [Live In Rockford]Originally released in 2004 on 1-4-5 Records, The Obsoletes "Is This Progress?" album has been fully remastered from the original mixes by Justin Perkins, with the help of Tim Schweiger. This reissue (via Good Land Records) features a few of the original album demos as bonus tracks, as well as a live version of "920 Blues" which was a hidden bonus track on the original CD. The original CD is long out of print and until now, the album has not been available digitally."Is This Progress?" was recorded at Simple Studios in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was recorded 100% on analog tape (1" 24-Track), and also mixed from the tape on a mixing console that did not have automation. This means that the mixes were performances in themselves, and no digital editing was possible which gives the album a raw/natural feel. Clearly, vocal reverb or delay was not in style at the time.The album was recorded on two different flaky Fostex G24S tape machines, and mixed on a touchy Alesis X2 console with what would be considered prosumer gear today. The stereo mixes were captured from analog to digital via an Alesis AI-3. So against all odds, it sounds mostly okay.The multi-track tapes were transferred to digital before the tape machine ultimately died, but remixing the album has not come to fruition so this is just a remaster of the original stereo mixes.
