Producers

The power of production is endlessly important. The producer has the power to make a song reach its fullest potential or completley crush it. In the case of the Beck song, "It's All In Your Mind", Calvin Johnson goes the lo-fi route (as is his forte) leaving the song in its natural state of folkiness. Although not a bad rendition of the song, it's Nigel Godrich's lush and space filled recording that takes the cake. The song retains its simple struction but manages to convey so much more depth and pain that the original never had. Here are the two versions back to back for a closer listen. The original can be found on the flipside of the "Feather In Your Cap" 7" released in 1994. It was then remastered and reissued as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of One Foot In The Grave, released in 2009. The remade version is on Sea Change (2002).
