Woody WeathermanGUEST
I think some other...
Woody WeathermanGUEST
We had also done a lot of deliverance there, but we were at Electric Lady Studio, you know.
Woody WeathermanGUEST
And it was wild because, you know, whenever you do a record and you have a record label, generally you have a budget.
Woody WeathermanGUEST
They present you with a budget.
DannyHOST
famous studio.
MarkHOST
It's either got to be New York or L.A. I'm going to say Electric Lady Land in New York.
DannyHOST
I'll give it to you.
DannyHOST
It's Electric Lady Studios.
MarkHOST
Okay.
DannyHOST
But yes, in New York city, uh, you got that one, right? So, uh, my daughter and I were, went up to New York, um, before she decided where to go to law school.
Corinna HarrodHOST
By 1970, Hendrix was looking in a new direction.
Corinna HarrodHOST
He was building a studio of his own, Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village, a state-of-the-art space designed around his ideas, with curved walls and soft, colour-changing lights.
Corinna HarrodHOST
He wanted the freedom to record whenever he wanted, without a clock running, and to produce other artists.
Corinna HarrodHOST
It opened in August 1970.
18 MINS LATER
Corinna HarrodHOST
There are the albums, released after his death, built from tapes he'd been working on.
Corinna HarrodHOST
The Cry of Love, First Rays of the New Rising Sun and others, some still being issued today.
Corinna HarrodHOST
There is Electric Lady Studios, which still operates and where generations of artists have recorded.
Corinna HarrodHOST
There's the Hendrix Flat on Brook Street in London, now a museum just as well.
Kevin WilliamsGUEST
And then they did guitars and vocals at Wise Lord Studios in the Netherlands.
Kevin WilliamsGUEST
And then they mixed it in Electric Lady in New York.
Kevin WilliamsGUEST
So they had this thing everywhere from what I'm seeing.
Kevin WilliamsGUEST
And they took a lot of time and spent a lot of money on it.
Steven MichaelHOST
So they would go and record the drums at that particular place, and then they would move somewhere else for vocals or whatever.
Steven MichaelHOST
That's pretty standard back at this point.
Steven MichaelHOST
I didn't know that they had mixed it at Electric Lady Iron, but...
Steven MichaelHOST
That's cool.
speaker_2HOST
These diverse musical directions led to boundary-pushing recording sessions.
speaker_2HOST
Main recording sessions took place between September 1981 and January 1982, splitting time between Ear Studios at the People's Hall and Marcus Music Studios in London and Electric Lady Studios in New York City.
speaker_2HOST
Mick took the driver's seat as producer, pushing their sound into extended dub-funk jams.
speaker_2HOST
Together with Joe and the rest of the band, creative forces were pulling the band into exciting yet dangerously volatile new territory.
speaker_2HOST
Okay, let's break down the track-by-track analysis that Mick envisioned for the double LP.
speaker_2HOST
First up, a song straight to hell, the extended, unedited version.
speaker_2HOST
Recorded on December 1981 at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, it's a seven-minute haunting epic.
speaker_2HOST
The song opens with synth drones and a pounding bass drum beat achieved in the studio when topper instructor Joe hit the bass drum with a plastic iced tea bottle.
Jeff WoodsHOST
And as it turns out, Spanish, this band who came with one of their biggest guitarist, Mick Jones, not the one from Foreigner, later reflected how this song worked so well because it sounded like The Clash sounded when they were just playing like all in a room together.
Jeff WoodsHOST
He and Joe Strummer, with this new song in mind, ended up in New York to record at Electric Lady Studios, the studios Jimi Hendrix had built.
Jeff WoodsHOST
Jones shacking up with his then-girlfriend, Ellen Foley.
Jeff WoodsHOST
You know, the other singer on Meat Loaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Line, actor, singer, Ellen Foley.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I know, I know, you probably scream and cry that your little world won't let you go But who in your measly little world are you trying to prove that you're made out of gold and can't be sold? So, are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Well...
Jeff WoodsHOST
Mr.
Jeff WoodsHOST
Are You Experienced himself, Jimi Hendrix, who'd come the next year, 1968, with two more albums, the second of which was a double that would soon lend its name to the studio Jimi had built in New York City, Electric Lady Studios, predated by the song that poses the question.
Jeff WoodsHOST
Have
Jack RabidHOST
Metric from Toronto, still fronted by Emily Haynes.
Jack RabidHOST
She was kind enough to sit down with Kurt Orzek in the new issue to talk about the record she recorded here in New York at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan on 8th Street in the East Village, or excuse me, West Village.
Jack RabidHOST
A hallowed ground there on built by jimmy hendrix to make records without realizing he would soon be dead and so all the rest of us that have either recorded there or visited there i've been there twice i've gotten the benefit of jimmy's vision so much more than he ever did including the new album by metric romanticize the dive we heard as if you're here the dolmans before that that's my kind of sneak up my sneaky uh interview that we had last issue, because I don't think most people know them, unfortunately, because they also are Scandinavian.
Jack RabidHOST
We hit all three of the prime Scandinavian countries, not Denmark, because they're kind of going both sides of that waterway, but Norway's Lynn Dahlman, or Line Dahlman, and on vocals and husband, Andri Dahlman, and Magnus Goldbrandsen on guitar, piano, organ, and percussion, Andre...
Steve StevensGUEST
Um, we had two brilliant engineer...
