Who do you think did most of the work on "How Much Can You Take/Perfect Day", PVD or Harald? Was PVD just a tech-saavy guy as far as the mixdown/mastering process?



Also, is there any site that has a comprehensive selection of MFS material? Who owns that shit now?

Does it actually matter?

I mean for instance, one of my favourite artists is shpongle, which is two people. One only plays flute (which isn't in every track) and otherwise provides input for moods and various things but all technical work is done by one person. The output is still totally different from either one solo.

Even if PVD was just sitting there being like "no I don't think that melody is good, something a little lighter/darker" his input could still be quite vital to the final result.

I was just wondering if he had learned music theory from Harald, or how much knowledge he had at the time? PVD's early solo work is kind of eh. It's interesting seeing the evolution of producers sound.




Don't they look peaceful.

I can't remember where I read it (I thought Discogs but it's not there) but I once read a quote from Harald basically saying something like "Now it's many years on and he's a big star, can PVD come forward and honestly say what he contributed towards Perfect Day apart from being present in the room during the mixdown?"

Wasn't Tijs and his notorious projects with HW Mallon, DJ Waakop Freijers, Kamaya Painters, and Gouryella all similar in concept as well?

"Here, I'll pay you big cash if you make it sound good like this... like that, a little bit of da-da-ba-ba, and there you go!"

I wouldn't be surprised if PVD did the same.... but really, why would PVD need to do that? He created the Love mix for "Love Stimulation" right? That track is pure class and legendary....

Unless he had other people make that for him.... but I do recall him saying he made it because he felt very "sad and gloomy" when he made that song. (Love Stimulation 1993 Love Mix)
