NOTE: This has alternative takes from the ep's and stuff, so it's a good pred.
here's what ben had to say: "i will also say that every song on the album has
more energy now and sounds better than it did to me on the ep's. i had a chance
to listen through tracks and pick alternate takes with hindsight perspective,
which is sometimes good and sometimes dangerous. haha. in this case, it came in
handy. a few times i found some earlier overlooked takes that had more mistakes
but better energy. sometimes there had been tracks muted that we brought back. a
few overdubs happened. i got corn mo to drop in after he did bonnaroo and sing a
few lines on 'get your hands off of my woman'. we re-did the tracks on 'songs of
love'. i love this neil hannon song and felt that it was a little stiff
originally and deserved more heart, so i did some surgery on that. 'learn to
live with what you are' has a large string section now arranged by paul
buckmaster and sounds damn classic. michael brauer lent much more aggressive
mixes, much taller. all in all, an improvement and now i have an album to show
for that period of time from 2002-2004 that i spent coming off tour for days at
a time to record."
Also, the title has the word 'LP' in it, but it's CDDA.
Enjoy.
SUPERSUNNYSPEEDGRAPHIC is a Ben Folds compilation that largely consists of EPs
(including SUNNY 16 and SPEED GRAPHIC) issued by the alt piano man's own
Attacked By Plastic label. Although the disc lacks the cohesiveness of many of
Folds's other albums, it does feature entertaining rarities, most notably his
reggae-tinged take on the Darkness's "Get Your Hands Off My Woman," his buoyant
version of the Cure's "In Between Days," and the dreamy "Still," from the
soundtrack to the animated film OVER THE HEDGE. While not the best introduction
to Folds's amiable, pop-savvy aesthetic, SUPERSUNNY is a fine example of his
artistic range, which goes so far as to include a tongue-in-cheek Dr. Dre cover.
