Witmer Trio Download
review by R.Paul for Possitive Feedback.
“This album marks a return to the origins of Witmer Trio. Delving into the salsa, cha-cha, bolero, bachata, and cumbia traditions of the music of Latin America. The Trio is joined by special guest Jan-Luc van Eendenburg on congas and bongos, completing the album’s Latin flavor. The music is engagingly and creatively arranged, and all is superbly well performed. The addition of Jan-Luc van Eendenburg’s congas and bongos add a delightful further flavoring and are tastefully blended into the overall musical ethos of the ensemble. There is a somewhat mellow, reflective tone to the entire album, which makes for very relaxed and enjoyable listening. With considerable variety across the selections I found myself constantly engaged in the melodies, rhythms and interplay of the artists. The songs with a driving beat and greater urgency, like La Mulata Rumbera, added just enough spice to keep everything interesting while not being completely out of place. All of this is just very nicely done! The recorded sound quality is excellent, as always from Frans de Rond. Yes, this is multi-mic’d. But it is so skillfully done that you’d not notice it. Instead, what you have is a fully integrated soundscape encompassing four musicians and their instruments—nothing spot lit, nothing sounding “out of whack.” And this result my friends, reflects very skillful placement to manage the various phase characteristics so all sounds seamless as one. Quite an accomplishment! About the recording setup, producer Peter Bjørnild writes: “When creating the soundscape, we devoted significant time to achieving an ideal balance. We placed a pair of Josephson C700S in the ‘sweet spot’ in MCOStudios’ Studio 2 before incorporating spot microphones. Our goal was to create a sound field that felt intimate yet retained sufficient depth to evoke a visual representation of the instruments.” It is this sensitivity to the sound and this attention detail that makes these Sound Liaison recordings so very good and so very special!”

The album just won the ;

Steve Roach | Robert Rich | Waves of Now
bandcamp | 24/96 | FLAC

" We are excited to present this soulful 30 year reunion between two stalwarts of Ambient-Electronic music in its entirety, exactly as it occurred. Steve and Robert answered the urge for unification after a very long orbit and 40 year friendship, reuniting and engaging their collective creative process, fueled with decades of individual innovations, genre defining releases and worldwide concerts.

Recorded live to a sold-out audience on December 5, 2023 at the Club Congress, Tucson Arizona… "

Steve Roach | Structures From Silence - 40th Anniversary Remaster | bandcamp | 16/44.1 | FLAC

“Forty years later, Structures from Silence remains an iconic American release in the ambient and electronic genres. It’s a well-respected soundtrack for contemplation, relaxation, meditation, and creativity. Emotional, powerful, and enriching, it is a living example of the true healing quality that music can hold.”

Two from Qobuz via the sublime deal. Big saving on the first … only £2.79 for the high resolution version with sublime and £6.79 for the second so good time to pick them up if they’re of interest

This record captures the band’s 1973 performance in Paris, and features Irmin Schmidt on keyboard & synths, Jaki Liebezeit on drums, Michael Karoli on guitar, Holger Czukay on bass, and Damo Suzuki on vocals for one of his final shows with the band.’
