Civilian Audio - Mastering, Mixing, All Things Audio

 

Hello there and thanks for stopping by my site!  I guess you were looking for me, Christopher Cline, if not try this site out instead.

For those of you searching for a bit more insight, well here's a bit more about me.  I've been in the process of making records for the past 16 or so years, some good, some bad (but mostly good I hope).  I have engineered, mixed, and/or mastered a number of albums from varying genres of music.

New Order-True Faith CDV-Facdv 183

This is a perfect song, a perfect New Order song. If you’re a gear head, the band and co-writer Stephen Hague had the help of a Yamaha QX1 stand-alone sequencer, DX 5 FM synth, Akai S900 sampler, Octave Voyetra 8 synth and Emulator samplers on this production. Originally released in January of 1988, this is the only CD video single I have ever owned. True Faith is a timeless production, and I know many would debate that, so let’s take it to the floor. What are your thoughts?

New Order-Shellshock-Fac 143

Extended for your pleasure. Unlike the original release featured in John Hughes film ‘Pretty In Pink’ roughly a month prior to its official Factory Records release, the single release is almost ten minutes long. The American release is the edit from the film and was released by A&M Records, not Quincy Jones’ Qwest imprint. Also included is designer Peter Saville’s extended artwork that you see here in the photo. The inner sleeve continues photographer Geoff Power’s image and Factory’s catalog number. Produced by John Robie and New Order, this is electro at its best. B side features an edit titled ‘Shellcock’; what else should it be titled? Answer that one for me, folks. More to come.

FACTORY Communications 1978-92

Let us begin Factory Records in July. I’ve chosen this comprehensive vinyl box set as it adequately illustrates the importance that is this seminal Mancunian label. From its now mythical beginnings with Joy Division until it’s final release with the Happy Mondays, this label did everything right and wrong in parallel. 30 more from Factory headed your way this month.
