Originally released in 1974, From The Mars Hotel features eight studio tracks from the stellar Grateful Dead line-up of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzman, Keith Godchaux and Donna Godchaux, all self-produced by the band themselves. The original vinyl album has been out of print for over the past three decades, making this a highly collectable recording now....
Captured in a modern facility dubbed Studio A, a large cinderblock room that Columbia Records specially outfitted for Simon and Garfunkel, who, ironically, split up before they could use it, From the Mars Hotel was primarily recorded live to 16-track machines. After laying down the basic structures, a few overdubs were added, most notably in the form of John McFee's rustic pedal-steel guitar accents on one track and Ned Lagin's spacey synthesizer passages on another. Always prized for its superb fidelity, the effort possesses an uncanny sense of airiness around the vocals, brilliant microdynamics, excellent transients, reference-caliber balance, accessible tonalities, and most importantly, the distinctive sound of a real band playing in a defined space.
