  That's it. That is our final, henceforth immutable, unanimously-agreed-upon album title. "Heights. " It grew very naturally out of Greg's cover art idea, which centers around a Polaroid of Gregory Heights middle school, where we were lucky enough to record about half of this magnum opus of ours. I hope Greg will soon post a jpeg of this album cover in an entry of his own, once it's done. We're finalizing the back cover, the booklet, the typeface, and other such matters which together constitute the visual complement to our auditory madness/genius.
I also listened earlier today to two samples of mastering that Jon was nice enough to provide for us on his FTP server; it seems he mastered Tired Eyes in two different versions, once of which rolled off a bit of the low end to clean up and space out the overall sound at the expense of bass, and the other of which left the bass in, which both thickened and obscured the sound. We agreed that the former approach yielded the better result. But it might need a slight retouch on the boards first (everybody do your Biz Markie impression: REMIX! ); the piano is deafening whenever it sounds, and my voice, which enters at the end to harmonize with Cary's chorus melody, instead completely overwhelms it. We've got a different sort of mixing debacle on our hands with We Could Do Anything, whereby it seems that all voices piped through the left-side channel are about 600 times louder than those in the right-side.
Hopefully these can get resolved soon; the other seven songs sound superb, even unmastered (a special nod to Come Too Far and Act of Violence, both of which sound gargantuan), and from what little I got to hear of Jon's work, I think he's pretty splendid at what he does, and we've done wisely to put our product into his hands. I expect I'm going to be very happy with this work once it's done.
