This set really makes you appreciate the album “What For”.

[@satiregoat41]

Dean Jeffery his best album

[@finncool]

@@satiregoat41 i dont think you can say that cos his new shit is also really great, i think toro y moi is one of the artists who can make each album as good as the other.

[@garettfrancfort4019]

Love it

[@skyeskye567]

That Album is definitely underrated , it was stuck in my CD player for a year when it came out

[@111whitepony111]

I think it was the production that held it back. It should’ve been recorded live like this. Probably his weakest album but that’s not saying much. All his albums are great.

[@TheReclusiveProducer]

Chaz has been sitting on this for 3 years. Idk why but it feels like this the right time.

[@randomprimate]

He released it behind a paywall back in the day on Vimeo, this is just the first time that it’s available for free. A holiday miracle!

[@dirtycardigan4609]

Darth Kadd it is. i majorly respect him taking such a different direction but it was meh and brought nothing new. Boo Boo was way better

[@zenpaganwarrior]

The music and production here is of far better quality than most studio recordings. Done out in the desert. Mind satisfactorily blown. One of the very best bands out there!

[@milosmilosmilos]

Recording in the desert is just as good as recording in the studio. No reflective surfaces, almost absolute silence etc. Tinariwen, for example, records their albums in the middle of the desert. :) Just make sure that the noisy power supply is distant enough and voila.

[@canobenitez]

@@milosmilosmilos what bout the dust on the gear though

[@jmpstrnl2007]

I’m really surprised about the lack of wind noise. especially on CB’s mic with no added baffle. How did they make it so clean?

[@andrewalbertson1]

⁠someone else commented that they did vocal over dubs after the fact (ie. His mouth not matching up with some words). But honestly I don't mind that at all.
