Plenty different indeed, I wonder sometimes if things weren't so readily available and easy to use, would I be doing the legwork and experimentation to get there? If you guys know of a book re: history of the studio as a musical instrument, I'd be very interested. You catch bits and pieces of information left and right, but a comprehensive synthesis would be nice.

*What are you listening to?*
I've been on a gipsy guitar spree: Django, Stochelo Rosenberg, Dorado Shmidt, Bireli Lagrène, Stephane Wrembel, etc.

Not sure what he uses but Johan Johannsson incorporates electronics into his compositions.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love. Never really listened to this album before, for some reason. That 1st track is ace.

Piece of trivia: "The first use of the flanging effect in stereo is credited to producer Eddie Kramer, who used the effect in the coda of Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love" (1967). Kramer admitted in an 1990s interview that he read BBC Radiophonic Workshop technical journals for ideas and circuit diagrams."

Today its a click away in the computer...how different things have become.

Another opening "ace" track is Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain". Some heavy stuff....

The Field - Today & Tomorrow
During my 30 minute commute up Woodward Ave to work this morning.

I should listen to this once again, it's been a long time... I love his two first albums but the latest one was a big disappointment. It lacks the textures and the grain of the previous releases and it kinda sounds like a guy with cold synths trying to cover The Field. I'm being hard, but I love him.


Now playing : Brian Blade Fellowship - Season of Changes
One of my favorite 2000s jazz record...

Actual title is 'Yesterday & Today'. I fudged it.
Just started to get into the Field. Was a big Kompakt fan back when they were relevant. Just missing the hypnotic dance floor groove of late.

Superb album. Have you ever heard a track called "Love You Bring" by P73? It really takes you back.

'Love You Bring' is good one.

I guess I am super conservative and snobby when it comes to guitars. I do not care much about amps/effects, etc.

In a nutshell, that's me too. Except I care about amps/effects, etc.

I too have wondered how these backpack guitars perform and hold up when it comes to intonation and staying in tune.
Guitars are like woman, I like to look at them as much as I like to touch them

all 5 releases in the "rivers home" series of 3" cds on the flaming pines label arrived today.  very much recommended.

love the billy gomberg, especially call
though all the tracks were listed as kurtis blow songs when i put it in itunes 

trying to think of a witty Kurtis Blow-related remark but it's not coming to me.  very glad you enjoy this little collection!
