Arabs in Aspic Pictures in a Dream CD

Pictures in a Dream is the fourth musical masterpiece from Trondheim's top - notch progressive rock band, Arabs in Aspic. First launched by the Italian label Black Widow Records in 2013, this album quickly gained international acclaim, leading to numerous concerts across the continent. The band's passion for sonic experimentation really stands out here. They employed some non - traditional methods, like using many microphones to capture the room's ambiance rather than just the sound sources. For instance, they used 9 microphones for the Hammond organ. This approach led to a lot of fine - tuning and less control but produced a sound that was truly unique in 2013. In 2010, a concert with Ruphus and Høst in Bodø brought about a special treat - Ruphus legend Rune Sundby guest - starred on two songs of this album. This re - release is based on the original recordings but has been completely re - edited and remixed. Some of the drawbacks caused by the multiple microphones in the room have been fixed. Certain vocals and lyrics have been replaced with archived ones and new ideas, aiming to make the album even better. A few instrumental overdubs have been added too. The result is a more powerful and clean version of the album. The band has also shuffled the song sequence to offer a new listening experience with a different vibe compared to the original release. This is the fourth in a series of six re - worked and remastered Arabs in Aspic releases on Karisma Records, carefully mastered by Jacob Holm - Lupo (White Willow, Opium Cartel, Solstein + + +) in Dude Ranch Studios. It's an officially licensed Arabs in Aspic merchandise and comes in a Jewel Case CD.
