Beautiful Dreamer by Kurt Luchs

An attempt to create a by-the-numbers Freudian nightmare in audio, for comic effect. The most complex recording the Luchs Brothers ever attempted. The original was done on an eight-channel recorder. There were so many special effects and post-production touches that it had to be finished on a 24-track machine. The mixing notes had to be written on a lengthy rolled-up piece of parchment known as "the scroll." There was much worshipping of the scroll and also much cursing at the scroll in the studio as all hands were on EQ knobs and faders simultaneously trying to follow the Byzantine instructions.
