Not ones to shy away from a good old philosophical debate Phil and Julian discuss whether or not the SSL sound actually exists, which takes them on an unexpected detour, starting at The Hit Factory NYC and finishing at Phil Collins. Finally, Phil talks Julian's ear off again about compression, specifically how mix engineering legend Andy Wallace used it to such...2024-08-072h 27The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks EP9 PT1 - Dust by Screaming Trees.On episode one of their two part investigation into one of the most criminally overlooked albums of the 90s, Dust by Screaming Trees, Phil and Julian kick things off with some correspondence from American artist Mark Danielson, who painted the cover art for the album.

Then the chat turns to the music, which turns out to be a bit of a rollercoaster ride in terms of quality control. Sorry die hard Doors fans, but if you search deep within your hearts you'll find that half of this album is a bit pants. The good news...2024-06-051h 29The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks EP8 PT1 - The Doors by The DoorsGroovy baby! On episode 8 of The Rock Geeks podcast Phil and Julian get their 60s vibe on as they focus their attentions on The Doors' eponymous debut album. Join them as they take a trip to the legendary Sunset Sound Recorders where they marvel at what engineer Bruce Botnik was able to achieve with the available technology of the time and, despite being woefully under-qualified, Phil delivers a physics lesson in standing waves to Julian who was, we're sure, delighted. Later the discussion turns to the band's equipment, which was, it turns out, pretty much bank rolled by Mr and...2024-05-012h 18The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks EP7 PT3. Magnus Sveningsson of The Cardigans.On this special episode of The Rock Geeks Phil and Julian chat to Magnus Sveningsson, founding member of and bassist with The Cardigans, about the band's masterwork, Long Gone Before Daylight. Magnus shares his memories of the recording of the album and talks about how the songs and the process, as testing as it was sometimes, ultimately helped to heal the band individually and collectively. Also, he very kindly did his bit for the rock geek in all of us by contacting Cardigans guitarist Peter Svensson in order to procure some seriously geeky info about the guitars and amps used...2024-04-031h 28The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks EP7 PT2 - Long Gone Before Daylight by The CardigansIn part 2 of episode 7 of the Rock Geeks podcast, Phil and Julian continue their fine tooth combing of Long Gone Before Daylight by The Cardigans. Phil, loses his mind trying to identify a synthesizer and a bass drum and Julian discovers his new favourite instrument - the pump organ. If you thought that Lovefool was all that The Cardigans had to offer then we hope that maybe our in-depth track by track chat will give you cause to investigate the band's later output, and perhaps reappraise your position. Finally, we end the epsiode with some very exciting news......2024-03-062h 03The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks EP7 PT1 - Long Gone Before Daylight by The CardigansOn episode 7 of The Rock Geeks podcast, Phil and Julian get stuck into one of the most criminally overlooked albums of the 2000s, Long Gone Before Daytlight by The Cardigans. The album took 10 months to record with the band visiting 8 different recording studios scattered across Europe, initially in an attempt to escape the Swedish winter, and, whether they knew it or not at the time, the long journey would eventually result in their masterpiece. In the absence of any seriously solid leads for this episode Phil gets out the pin board and the red string and tries to connect the...2024-02-072h 23The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks Episode 6 Part 2 - Dirt by Alice In ChainsIn part two of The Rock Geeks podcast all about the biblically apocalyptic Dirt by Alice In Chains, Julian marvels at Mike Starr's bass rig, Sean Kinney's drum kit is found hanging on a wall and each track gets a good poke and prod to see what makes it tick.

Also in this episode, we discuss one of Scotland's legendary music venues, The Glasgow Apollo (where most of If You Want Blood... was recorded) and get all geeky about the gear that was used, with Phil going above and beyond in the drums department for a...2023-11-012h 23The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks Episode 4 Part 2 - The Holy Bible by Manic Street PreachersIn part two of The Rock Geeks' long and often uncomfortable look at one of rock's darker albums, Phil and Julian pick up where they left off in part one with a track by track analysis of The Holy Bible, then draw their conclusions (spoiler alert: it's a work of genius), before moving onto chat about the iconic art work, by British artist Jenny Saville, that adorns the album's cover. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.2023-10-051h 43The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks Episode 4 Part 1 - The Holy Bible by Manic Street PreachersManic Street Preachers' The Holy Bible is a tough listen but an ultimately rewarding one. While researching this album, Phil listened to part or all of The Holy Bible every day for about a month and came off worse than Morgan Spurlock but, paradoxically, felt more enriched for it. Amongst many other points of conversation, in part one of episode four we talk about why Manic Street Preachers chose to record the album at a £50 per day studio in the red light district of Cardiff, how that studio was responible for the austere, unforgiving and in your face sound that T...2023-10-041h 52The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks Episode 3 Part 2 - Master Of Puppets by MetallicaOn part two of The Rock Geeks deep dive into Metallica's genre defining third album, Master Of Puppets, Phil and Julian explore the gear that the band used to record the album with and find out that much of the internet is mistaken about which guitar James Hetfield used to record his parts. They also discuss the conception and creation of the iconic art-work that graces the front cover of the album and, with much respect, talk about Cliff Burton, his influence on the band and his untimely death.

The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks Episode 3 Part 1 - Master Of Puppets by MetallicaMetallica's Master Of Puppets is possibly the thrash metal genre's most defining album and although Julian took to it like a heavy metal duck to water, Phil was a little more reticent, mainly because his dad introduced him to it. Not cool. On part one of this episode of The Rock Geeks Phil and Julian discuss Making Love and Music at Metallica producer Flemming Rasmussen's Sweet Silence Studios, talk about James Hetfield's phenomenal songwriting and arranging chops and find out what the recording of Master Of Puppets had in common with the recording of The Chipmunks.

This is The Rock Geek's second attempt at making sense of this hugely polarising album and we're still not sure we've got to the bottom of things! In part one of this two part episode we try to get to grips with Pinkerton's stop/start recording schedule, beginning in New York and ending in LA, via Boston and Havard, and chat about how Rivers Cuomo's experiences on the road touring The Blue Album led to some of the most simultaneously beautifully tender and serial killeresque lyrics ever penned. ...2023-08-021h 51The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks Pilot Episode 1 - Iron MaidenPhil and Julian, AKA The Rock Geeks, got together last year to see about recording a podcast, to figure out how the whole podcasting thing works and, most importantly, whether or not it would be fun to do. This debut 'pilot' episode is the result of that process. It's not perfect, but it did turn out to be lots of fun and Phil and Julian learned a lot from the experience about how to produce better future podcasts. In this first episode of The Rock Geeks, Phil and Julian take a deep dive into Iron M...2023-07-052h 27The Rock GeeksThe Rock Geeks Podcast TrailerThe Rock Geeks are two northern blokes and lifelong best mates, Phil and Julian, taking a monthly deep dive into the albums that have shaped their worlds and expanded their minds, exploring who created them and how they were made in the finest detail possible.Each episode will take you into the recording studio and not only show you the gear that was used by the band and the studio engineers but also show you how the gear was used to produce their masterworks.
