also in the meantime (new mix of "Long Way Off")

i keep getting closer to my ideal on "long way off" where the guitar keeps drifting toward an 80s metallica sort of sound by the time the chorus kicks in. i ugess that makes sense since 80s heavy metal was the first guitar sound i tried to emulate. it's a little more distant than someone like metallica though.

i was also listening to U2 live at red rocks -- an album i listened to hundreds of time as a teenager but haven't picked up much since. i realized that the drum sounds in long way off are completely inspired by larry mullen's drums on that recording.
