Man, those two first Ratatat albums had such a great sound. I’m not quite sure how they created it but I saw them play in a little club in London and it was every bit as full and textured as on the albums. I have a recording of the gig somewhere.
- etrautmann 2y agoI think their sound was created by time reversing guitar notes? I was never clear how it would be possible to play that live?
- madisp 2y agowhen I saw them live ~18 years ago they made heavy use of gradual fade ins (swells) with an ernie ball volume pedal, it does have a similar sound to a reverse delay effect.
- aidos 2y agoYeah, that was about the same time when I saw them. From memory they just looked like your standard 3 piece but had those lovely backwards sounding swells. I recall being really surprised because it sounds like the sort of thing you’d struggle to do live.
