Re: "Spector's Wall of Sound is Awful, imo"

In: s/music

Also, just to clarify, there are some songs where the melody and lyrics of the song are great, but Spector's production and the production of his "technique" I find to be horrendous. A great example is "River Deep - Mountain High" - a great song, with horrendous production!

@BBSman Another article I found interesting that was on Phil Spector was this one: https://www.vulture.com/article/phil-spector-music-producer-murderer-obituary.html

Spector's Wall of Sound is Awful, imo — Was reading about the "Wall of Sound" recording technique by Phil Spector, as well as listening to some of the samples. I don't understand why people in the 60s thought this technique sounded good. It's pretty much the one main thing I hate about older music, lol. In fact, I associate a lot of older music with this sound, and that's why I don't listen to a lot of older music. It makes everything sound distant and muffled and unclear.
