Andreas Meyer mastered nine original new tunes plus a fiery version of a song written by blues legend John Lee Hooker. Andreas used Tangerines vintage analog EMI mastering compressors and EQ to enhance the edgy blues flare of the project. Skuller sat in at all mastering sessions along with producer James Mastro. Andreas Meyer used Tangerine's Pyramix 6 system to produce and edit the final PMCD. "this collection of blues songs has a moody, late-night ambiance. He sustains a remarkable degree of intensity " -THE STAR LEDGER - Jay Lustig "Skuller conjures a haunted atmosphere of melancholy introspection. Too savvy to try to sound like an delta bluesman, Skuller instead personalizes the form, bending it to his will - bigtakeover.com - Michael Toland "Skuller's pain is the listener's joy... Blues prides itself on torture and exorcism - the grim journey of sin, regret, and burdensome living. The Morphine Berry Story carves its own road with these austere elements, and Eddie Skuller is right out front as the funereal bandleader. In this case, the mourning is welcome and never overwrought. - "MUZIKREVIEWS.COM - Kevin Liedel write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Jazz News :: home page |
