That certain sound...I remember lots of live shows 84-89 or so when they had it going on (if you saw them then, you know). Loved all of the rest since then too, but something was special about the simple, lyrical, powerful and affecting songs on Chronic Town, Murmur, Reckoning, Fables of the Reconstruction and Life's Rich Pageant. I liked or loved Green and all the rest up to Collapse into Now, but for me, the first five were the essence of R.E.M.

Yeah, "Chronic Town" and the first 4 are my faves! I'm so glad they remastered "Chronic Town" and re-released that but I wish they would remaster "Dead Letter Office". Their covers of the 3 Velvets songs on there was how I discovered The Velvet Underground. Their cover of Pylon's "Crazy" is also a fave!

Murmur represents a high water mark for capturing the sound a Rickenbacker makes.

Later when they bought their own individual houses Michael and Mike each bought a house that share the same back yard. As far as I know they have never sold either house for this exact reason. Cool to walk out in your backyard and there is your best friend and band mate!

I think they own the entire block now. All of those houses were around 75k in the 80s.

This is clearly a 3am "we've finally got the mix!" mix, before listening the next day and realising they've got the bass on the left fucking channel only. Peter's guitars have more presence here but they would, wouldn't they, in the circumstances. The final mix of Murmur is perfect, they got there in the end!

Those aren't woodblocks. They're drums. They're what are known as Octobans. Stewrat Copeland uses them too.

Close, but if I recall right they were actually Rototoms -- one can use rototoms to create a very similar sound to Octobans.

drums and especially bass too low in the mix imo. The bass has nice low end but it's too quiet.
