Did another one of those album-in-the-dark things on Wednesday night. It’s called @pitchblackplayback and I would highly recommend it. . This time we were at The Castle Cinema for Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, which as our host said, is an album that needs no introduction. The main thing I learned on this listen though, Side A > Side B. . In fact I got so submerged in Side A that I forgot about The Chain. THE FUCKING CHAIN. Forgot about it. When we did get to it though (the second half specifically), it proved my niggling theory that the sound wasn’t loud enough. Maybe it’s a limitation of the sound system itself, or maybe the venue has restricted noise levels. I think the Institute of Light packs more of a punch. . Pretty much every track on this album has a fade-out. I feel like that’s less common nowadays, maybe it’s something to do with recording techniques or technology, I don’t know. But it means in this setting, at such volume and under more scrutiny they actually have a very abrupt end. Most notably on the final track, Gold Dust Woman, which makes for a slightly jarring end to the session. . (@pitchblackplayback do you take requests? Please can you do In Utero at the @theinstituteoflight? Ta.) #vinyl #fleetwoodmac #pitchblackplayback #clapton #e5
