A Changing View Of Albums

We’ve talked a lot on this and other blogs about how the digital age will prompt a change in philosophy in terms of SG recordings.  We’ve talked about the return of the single, and early radio releases from projects that are not commercially available yet, and other such topics.  Those thoughts and points of view are now starting to place themselves in front of artists more directly, and as Gus Gaches notes in Legacy Five’s latest blog post, may begin to change the way artists approach their recordings.  Gus’s anecdote is amusing, but his discussion that follows is very much thought provoking.  In fact, an artist I talked to recently, whose new CD I will be reviewing shortly, said that they had changed their philosophy for this recording along these same lines.  Give the L5 post a read, it’s worth your time to get an artist’s perspective on the changing times.
