Malcolm Holmes (Drums, Percussion), Paul Humphreys (Electronic Percussion, Electronic Piano,Organ, Percussion, Piano, Programming, Synthesizer, Vocals) and Andy McCluskey (Electronic Percussion, Bass Guitar, Organ, Percussion, Programming, Synthesizer, Treated Piano, Vocals).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… taking out a second OMD album for a spin. I did enjoy the ‘Architecture And Morality’ album recently and thought I would try something else from their catalogue. Enjoying the opening track and looking forward to the rest of the album!
I followed @AndyP’s advice and downloaded the hi-res version of my current flavour of the month album … blimey! … that’s a bit good … I’m in the studio with them jamming this album.
I can only concur with Andy … if you like the album, wait till you hear it in full fat hi-res … double belter!
The Les Paul is getting plugged in and cranked up later … Let’s Rock!
I listened to this a fair bit when I first got it but again not for a year or more which is criminal.
I’ll play it right through, front to back like I did with the previous Donald Byrd LP which is another thing I’m intent on doing as it’s easy for me to skip through to the best bits or play just one track but I’m finding it really rewarding this way.
The John Martyn Ain’t No Saint compilation ripped listening via Hires portable. How can such an execrable human being make such beautiful music? Includes the lovely In the Morning which somehow didn’t make it to any album.
Dan Auerbach (Electric Guitar, Vocals), Sam Bacco (Percussion), Kenny Brown (Electric Guitar), Patrick Carney (Percussion), Eric Deaton (Bass Guitar) and Ray Jacildo (Organ).
Streaming on Qobuz (48/24)… joining in this afternoon as I start up today’s exercise routine with some ‘Delta Kream’ love and they are sounding sublime! Wife is out for a walk with a friend so the volume turned up a few notches…
Back of the Fraim is all sealed up Dread, never fear… the top level is only on so I could measure. Under the thick sheet/ thin blanket is the 252 but it’ll be well out of the way when the drilling starts (& I’ll recheck the seal!)
Today was just removal of the old shelf.
Takes three hands but a vac is really good at removing dust while drilling, whips it out of the hole, during and after…
But I may well break down & rebuild the Fraim tomorrow anyway - needs some cable wrangling and checking the spikes.
