KT Tunstall, eye to the telescope. Thanks @AlanP for mentioning. Haven’t listened to her for quite a while. Other side of the world… Damn everything makes me think about what’s happening in the world including floods in Brisbane. Good morning, evening and night everyone. Take care.

Yes it is, we were turned on to it by Hamish on a visit to The Sound Organisation, whilst demoing some kit, many years ago. We were so taken by the pure vocals.
