Well put, but Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor sounds kind of lame recorded
dry on casiotone too. Concert halls and churches are designed on purpose
to have echo and reverb. Those halls were as much an instrument as the ones
held by the people on stage.
And for the record, some of the reverb on Succour sounds more like they
miked an amplifier in a large room rather than pushed it through a lexicon.
Which is one of the main things about their sound -- the blurring between
guitars, effects, samples and synths. Playing live, you'd probably be suprised
at what Sarah actually sings live and what comes from the sequencer. In
fact I think she occasionally imitates live the sound of a vocal sample being
repeated.
