Inside Track feature inside track What’s the best way to make a classic rock album? For producer Eric Inside Track Valentine and guitarist Slash, there was only Secrets Of The Mix Engineers: one answer: use classic recording techniques and Eric Valentine vintage gear. Paul Tingen hen I first met Slash to talk about his solo album,” recalls “W Eric Valentine, “I immediately told him that the only way I wanted to do it was to approach it like a classic rock record: get great musicians, rehearse the songs properly, and record them on tape machines. There’s one particular vintage tape machine that I wanted to use for drums and bass, to get that classic ’60s rock sound, and I then wanted to use a more modern tape machine that can punch in and out for overdubs. My idea was to make it really simple, with a great drum sound and one guitar in one speaker and another guitar in the other speaker, so you can really hear performances. I didn’t want to hear just a wall of guitar sounds, I wanted to be able to hear Slash playing guitar. He seemed really excited about that.” Saul ‘Slash’ Hudson was excited enough to entrust Valentine with the engineering, mixing and production of his first genuine solo album.

While his cousins were learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, werewolves, and other such miracles that were the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent, never form an outself. He grew up in the rambling old house, filled with dozens of cousins, and aunts and uncles, all ruled by his father. Their home was isolated in the mountains of western Virginia, far from town, far from schools, far from other people. There are many secrets in the House, and many rules that Danny must follow. There is a secret library with only a few dozen books, and none of them in English — but Danny and his cousins are expected to become fluent in the language of the books. While Danny's cousins are free to create magic whenever they like, they must never do it where outsiders might see. Unfortunately, there are some secrets kept from Danny as well. And that will lead to disaster for the North family.

  • American Punk: the Relations Between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture
    American Punk: The Relations between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture Gerfried Ambrosch ABSTRACT Punk culture has its roots on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite continuous cross-fertiliza- tion, the British and the American punk traditions exhibit distinct features. There are notable aesthetic and lyrical differences, for instance. The causes for these dissimilarities stem from the different cultural, social, and economic preconditions that gave rise to punk in these places in the mid-1970s. In the U. K., punk was mainly a movement of frustrated working-class youths who occupied London’s high-rise blocks and whose families’ livelihoods were threatened by a declin- ing economy and rising unemployment. Conversely, in America, punk emerged as a middle-class phenomenon and a reaction to feelings of social and cultural alienation in the context of suburban life. Even city slickers such as the Ramones, New York’s counterpart to London’s Sex Pistols and the United States’ first ‘official’ well-known punk rock group, made reference to the mythology of suburbia (not just as a place but as a state of mind, and an ideal, as well), advancing a subver- sive critique of American culture as a whole. Engaging critically with mainstream U.S. culture, American punk’s constitutive other, punk developed an alternative sense of Americanness. Since the mid-1970s, punk has produced a plethora of bands and sub-scenes all around the world. This phenomenon began almost simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic—in London and in New York, to be precise—and has since spread to the most remote corners of the world.

  • Slash Plugs in with MOGAMI Cable
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Slash Plugs In With MOGAMI Cable Iconic guitarist Slash endorses MOGAMI cable. Los Angeles, CA, November 20, 2012 – Slash has become an official endorsee of MOGAMI cable. The endorsement deal unites one of the world’s most celebrated guitarists with the industry’s finest audio cable. “I was delighted when Slash’s team approached us, indicating Slash was considering a switch to MOGAMI cables, and asked if we would be interested,” said Phil Tennison, product manager of MOGAMI. “We were quick to say yes! Slash is one of the greatest musicians of all time. He knows great tone. His endorsement of MOGAMI is tremendous. We look forward to collaborating with Slash on many performances to come.” Slash created some of rock’s most legendary guitar riffs as part of Guns-N-Roses and went on to solidify his rock stardom with Slash’s Snakepit and Velvet Revolver. Currently, Slash is on tour to promote his critically acclaimed second self-titled album, Apocalyptic Love. MOGAMI cable, Slash’s new cable of choice, is along for the ride. "The main thing about these cables is that they endure everything I put them through. Which is hell," said Slash about MOGAMI cable. During the Apocalyptic Love tour, Slash’s Gibson Les Paul guitars are wired with MOGAMI cables onstage. Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators are currently on the European leg of an extensive world tour with MOGAMI delivering the sound at every show. About MOGAMI Often referred to as “The Cable of the Pros,” MOGAMI Cable is used in recording studios worldwide by some of the biggest names in music today.
