Another great video. I feel like, for the most part anyhow that records just aren’t made the same way nowadays. Watching this you never fully understood all the moving parts that went into the production of Off the Wall. It was a perfect confluence of events, really. When speaking of dynamics, it goes further than just the engineering aspect but everyone who played on it. Everyone had their own style, their own influence and input. I suppose that’s why a lot of these larger record companies don’t want to produce albums like this now because of everything it took. The time, the money, the effort. Things have surely changed, especially with the studios and digital age.
All those Q records from that period...the Dude, Light up the night, Give me the night and Off the wall, all have more or less the same personnel and do sound alike ...but in a great way! Like you say...the last great gathering of sofisticated man and primitive machine 😉 But the trend has reversed somewhat with the emergence of Snarky Puppy and the likes ...and maybe most of all in black gospel. And maybe that's where it started anyway...
The reverb on the trumpets on Don’t stop till you get enough is minty fresh
They do sound amazing don't they!

Thank you! They really were Maddie very differently back then. Bags of personality coming through from everyone involved.
Enjoying your content mate.
