He's been seriously off the planet for 30 years. Some would question whethere he was ever even on it. I've just about worn out the boxed CD set. Better replace it.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse

Ok, revealing my ignorance here, but I always thought (really!) the quote refered to "Monotheism rules!"... Can someone please explain how Phil Spector enters the picture???Originally posted by finbar
My word it does! Even though my idol Phil Spector is in just a tad of bother at the moment - charged with murder - I will not hear a word against him! The nutter. 
Mono as opposed to Stereo is the only thing I can come up with?

Yes, most around here thought it referred to Civ. It didn't. It's mono as opposed to stereo. "Mono Rules" is one of Phil Spector's many mottos. He worked in mono when he created the "Wall of Sound" style of music in the early and mid-1960s. At its best, it's still a thrilling sound today.Originally posted by Carolus Rex

It is thrilling - probably more appreciated now than at the time. How does it translate to CD?
I was watching a doco recently where various musos were lamenting the loss of "live" recording to disembodied digital mixing. Similar laments about the move from vinyl to CD.

You mean you take a persons previous actions into account when playing them in future games
? I would think the idea of civ is that each game is a new game, do all of you take past actions into account in each game

Wouldn't you love to crush someone who has stabbed you in the back? Maybe even by using the same means?

Yes, now it's appreciated for the technical - and artistic - achievement that it was using the primitive equipment Spector had on hand. Back then - well, "River Deep Mountain High", one of the greatest examples of the style, barely dented the charts. On CD, with good speakers, it sounds extraordinary.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse

The other night I saw Elton John saying that modern recording technology only slows down the recording process. Back in the days of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", they knocked off four songs a day. The whole vinyl -v- CD debate is interesting. When CDs first appeared, they said vinyl was dead because of the sheer clarity of CDs. Now the same people are calling CDs sterile, wanting the "atmosphere" of vinyl. Naturally, I kept my massive 60s vinyl collection.I was watching a doco recently where various musos were lamenting the loss of "live" recording to disembodied digital mixing.

ya I tend to think there is "something" about vinyl, a depth to the sound, an intangible body to the sound. But it could be all imagination.
I saw the Elton John doco. He's not the only one saying it. A lot of classic tracks were put down in one incredible take.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

Bizarre that Bernie can't remember writing "Candle In The Wind", can't remember Elton first playing it. And it wasn't because of the drugs." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak
