Perfection is bullshit. Anyone who has lived long enough ought to know that. However, from time to time you do get to feel that special moment when things just feel almost ‘perfect’.
I know I had some of those fleeting moments and most of it has to do with music. Extreme underground music, no matter the genre, does have those special shits.
For me, it’s when the sound/production of a release (either demo tapes or full lengths) just captures each and every instrument in the right balance, and sort of ‘live-up’ to whatever imagery the musician projects.
Take Disastrous Murmur’s 1992 debut for example. The way the songs sound, from the first until the very last one (as far as I’m concern) really lives-up to the gory imagery portrayed in the album cover.
Heck, I don’t even dig ‘gory’ Death Metal that much, but this one just shreds so much it’s impossible not to like.
Now that is the kind of production that deserved to be called ‘perfect’.
