General Interest Sound City - Real to Reel [VINYL] Ships in Certified Frustration-Free PackagingReviewAs supergroups go, they dont get much bigger than this.Put together by Dave Grohl, the cast of musicians for this album is not only comprised of his former Nirvana and current Foo Fighters bandmates, but also includes Stevie Nicks, Josh Homme, Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor, Slipknots Corey Taylor and Rick Springfield. Oh, and Paul McCartney.Conceived after Grohl bought and installed a Neve 8028 analogue recording console from the world famousbut now shutSound City studios, the album is a counterpart to the film directed by Grohl about the history of that studio, and about the personal, human connection that comes with writing and recording music using analogue equipment.Each song was composed and recorded specifically for the film in its own 24-hour session, with Grohl the only constant across these 11 tracks. Notably, it includes Cut Me Some Slack, the song McCartney performed with the former Nirvana members at the 12/12/12 benefit concert.Thats one of this records most successful songsa blast of abrasive and uncompromising rocknroll that sees McCartney turn in what must surely be one of the most feral and fierce performances of his career. He may not be Kurt Cobain, but the 70-year-old ex-Beatles fire is impressive nonetheless.Elsewhere, Stevie Nicks vocals on the tremulous You Cant Fix This are ominous and foreboding, Your Wife Is Callingon which Fear vocalist Lee Ving steps up to the microphoneis a rambunctious and convincing explosion of old-school hardcore punk, and From Can to Cant and If I Were Me are soothing swathes of relaxing sound.Its not all successful, however. A Trick With No Sleeve (Grohl, Josh Homme and Alain Johannes) is rather pompous and overstated, and Time Slowing Downappropriately enoughlasts for too long without really going anywhere. The repetitive groove of near-eight minute closer Mantra, featuring Reznor, also outstays its welcome somewhat.On the whole, though, this is an interesting experiment in the creative process, as well as the values of musicianship and friendship.--Mischa PearlmanFind more music at the BBC This link will take you offin a new windowProduct DescriptionDouble vinyl LP pressing. Original soundtrack to the 2013 documentary. Directed by Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) and featuring interviews and performances by the iconic musicians who made their careers in the legendary Sound City studios, the movie tells the story of real Rock n' Roll history, and celebrates the human element of music, as Grohl gathers some of Rock's greatest artists to collaborate on a new album. Using Sound City's legendary analogue console, together they continue to create musical miracles in a digital world. The film was conceived by Grohl after purchasing the legendary custom-built Neve 8028 recording console from Sound City Studios in 2011. The board, built in 1972, is considered by many to be the crown jewel of analogue recording equipment, having recorded countless musical legends over the past 40 years.
