Some thoughts come to mind: I did not know there was another association for Jim's "My Little Red Book" other than on Pandora's Box Original Sin...the only version I know....and I had the idea that Wilde is in that ensemble...is this another version you are referring to? On that "ooooo-yahh" sound, I don't recall it coming up twice on the recording I have. Maybe I just didn't notice it. I think that if I would have noticed it twice, I might feel that the second would be superflouis, and agree with you, but I don't think I'd call it annoying. I'm not entirely sure what the first one's purpose was, even so, but it did get me into the mood for the tempo of the song; I guess that's good enough. If there is a second version, maybe he was just playing around by adding another "ooooo-yahhh" (as in here we go again) and you could laugh. > > Overall tho, I look forward to hearing a track Jim has > produced.

I think what you may be saying is that being as the production is part of the whole package, and your unfamiliarity with Sisters Of Mercy does not inspire you, it is probably par for the course in music choices, anyway. I think once you hear it, however, you would find satisfaction with the recording and know that without Jim's hand on it, your interest in the music would be diminished. In other words, it may not be a "rush" factor, but it is an appreciation factor. I think that is what you are conveying. I have to agree with you, no matter how much I love Jim. I don't know what the Sisters of Mercy sound like, either. | |
