Cool vid!
It looks as though these guys are working hard at their craft and having a good time.

Jasper, I'm trying to really listen critically to see if I can hear where you're coming from.
I'm still listening on my PC but when I got it the speakers were close to top of the line and it has a subwolfer.

Anyway I've listened to it over and over with zero ear fatigue.
So to my ears it doesn't seem to be brick-walled.
I would like to see a spectral analysis to confirm but bottom line and most importantly it doesn't hurt my ears to listen.

I do agree with you to an extent that they've lost something with this mix.
It just seems a little to busy to me?

I still like it overall and I guess my biggest complaint is the subject matter.
But that's only because I had held out hope that both Perry and Eric had gotten past their issues.

this song sucks.......just one man's opinion...

Care to expand on that a little.
What sucks?

I like the new cut better.

I was just checking out the "Inside The Lies" video again and spotted something interesting I missed at first.
At 50 seconds in there's a white board atop the console behind Dave with a list of songs they're working on.

I see a few titles I've heard them mention before but it looks like some new ones as well.

Here's a screen grab of what I'm talking about.

i guess i was hoping for something a little heavy.this tune did nothing for me.live version wasn't any better...

When Jasper panic'd ....I even thought he was going a tad overboard.....I noticed the lack of punch but thought that was the Mp3.....Play it on a nice system....I got everything the man with the golden ears was saying....I dig what they added to the mix....but the dynamics are all messed up.....with a band like Janes that's their thing?...Impact BAMM....it's all mucked up....the music is great...I think.....but really compressed ...but I dig the meat

I like the sound of what Dave's playing @1:19... slow and pretty...reminds me a lil of Planet Caravan.

JANE’S ADDICTION COLLABORATE WITH THE MASTER MUSICIANS OF JOUJOUKA FOR THE BAND’S NEW TRACK “END TO THE LIES”
DATE: APRIL 12, 2011

As always, JANE’S ADDICTION—singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins--keeps things interesting.

The exotic sounds on “End To The Lies”—the band’s newly issued (April 7) free downloadable track from the band’s upcoming first studio album in eight years on Capitol Records, THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST—are the unique contribution of the legendary The Master Musicians of Joujouka. The free download of "End To The Lies" is available via http://goo.gl/cAGZO

Hailing from the village of Jajouka near Ksar-el-Kebir in the Ahl Srif mountain range of the southern Rif Mountains in northern Morocco, they are Sufi trance musicians who use reed, pipe and percussion to create drones and complex rhythms unique to Joujouka. The musicians are known for their connections with the Beat Generation and Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones, who recorded them in 1968 for an album that was released in 1971, Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka.

"We wanted to add a sense of ancient ritual and some depth beyond normal instrumentation, getting off the typical path that rock bands use, etc,” says Perry Farrell. “And we wanted the music to cast a spell on the ‘lies.’”

For THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST, JANE'S ADDICTION have been working in Los Angeles with producer Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol), with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek on the team. Costey says that The Master Musicians of Joujouka’s parts actually weren’t recorded with the band or in a studio. “It was all recorded in the Master Musicians Madrassa (school house) which is out in the village of Joujouka near Morocco where they live. The drums were recorded in the kitchen and the rhiatas in the main room of the house."

Farrell adds: "Lots of sounds were recorded with them so you may hear more of them on the record. You'll have to wait and see."
