I was just working through some of the IMPs - I'm trying to follow most of the rules (being late and all makes that a little hard)... I'm not reading the posts or listening to others until I get done and trying to do them as quickly as possible.
Anyway, on IMP9, the double tracked drums are very curious. I ended up taking only a few of the second set and running them through a nice crunchy limiter/compressor, filtering most of it away and panning off to the side so as to try to keep from distracting when they aren't quite on.
Does anyone have any favorite double tracked drum songs? The two that I can think of off the top of my head are the Lanois production of Willie Nelson's version of The Maker (

I'd love to hear some more references.
thx
