although you believe the hissing on war to be a recording flaw, it was actually Barr’s intention. if you have ever listened to The Slip, they are masters of sonic landscaping. war is a fully realized sonic masterpiece. the hissing, and the distance echoing guitar call and response lines are all completely intentional and add to the overall ancient vibe of the song, which would lend itself perfectly to a classic film noire
anyways thats just my two sense

The use of the phrase ’sonic landscaping’ is pretty ridiculous. It’s almost as bad as ’sound scape.’ I’m pretty sure Tompkins Park (or whoever put in on recording costs) would be able to foot the bill for a proper engineer and all…..but I think I understood that the tape hiss was intentional.
