WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
"Red Heaven, um, sounded live, and it was played
live, but everything's in an isobooth, so isolated, so y'know, you don't--we had to fake the sound of a band playing live
by blowing everything out and letting the drums bounce around the room and micing that and stuff and I had like 4 tubescreamers
and a fuzz wall tied up together with all these Marshall stacks just to make the room kind of explode because then volume
becomes another instrument, y'know, and in that is a picture of a band playing live."
