Mala working on Cuban album...

[baddis98]

`due to be released through his Brownswood label on September 10. In May 2011` Which will probably mean 2012

read properly:
sept 10 the album, aug 8 the sampler. 'in may 2011' is a different sentence...

[Cornbreadddd]

I'm wondering how many tunes the album will have. Since it's a bigger label I'm assuming that there will obviously be a digi release, but do you think the digital and and vinyl release will be the same like Return II Space / Urban Ethics? Or do you think he'll select a few tracks to be on the 12"s and have the full release on the CD / Digi.

@cornbreadddd
Joe Nice said in the other thread that the album would have 14 tunes.

[zonetrooper5]

I reckon it'll be double 12" business with multiple tunes pressed on each side, but I also have do idea how Brownswood normally handles vinyl album releases. 14 tunes is doable on 2x 12" at 33rpm.

They'll have to be reallly quite to fit them all in though, would rather a ridiculous 4 x 12" box set that you can actually use in a mix

[murky21]

well calle F and cuba electronic are already confirmed as the sampler 12" so thats one release sorted....
The last brownswood lp i bought was Gang Colours which was a single plate, 6 tunes at 33rpm on one side jobby..
but clearly the Mala album will have more of an interest for DJ's so hopefully it might come on a DMZ style 6 tracks over 3 plates...looking forward to finding out...
Kutmah's release was like 18 tracks over 2 plates, probably most likely scenario i reckon

Yes, because mixers dont have a gain knob.

I know they've got a gain knob you plonker.

I've got some albums on vinyl and even with the gain maxed out and all of the EQs turned up full the tracks still sound quiet in a mix

And often it isn't just about pure lack in volume but about the track lacking in certain frequencies. Tinkering with the eq trying to make a tune sound decent in the middle of a mix is not the one.

Exactly!

I wonder how much of this album will be made for the dancefloor though, I imagine there will be a few that are more suited to home listening.

[antipode]

FOURTEEN?

[Hibbie]

I think we will be getting a 4X box set all pressed at 45 which would be 8 tracks plus the sampler so 10 tracks, then maybe the other 4 will be short peices that can still fit on one side of each plate in the box set. So each plate will have 3 tracks but at 45. I hope they're at 45 anyway

[dsprainman]

I haver plenty of good records at 33rpm. Soul Jazz compilations, B-sides of early Skreamizms, Mountain Dread March, ect. Not sure why people think its a problem. As long as its two tunes per side, All good.

Yeah 33 rpm is fine for 2 tunes

Ill have to do a side by side comparison some day, cause ive never noticed and real significant difference between 33 and 45 (other than the volume part).

[Jagag]

I'm no expert by any means but I think its about how wide the grooves are (bass takes up a lot of space, I believe). So frequency response, unlike volume, doesn't depend on the rpm (I don't think) but it tends to be the case that if a record is at 33rpm its trying to take up less space, cram in more information and won't sound as good.
