“Now Playing”

Yes I have. The cleanup of the recording is good.

When Johnson plays blues, his rhythms are incredibly difficult.

I saw Alice Cooper live (dead?) in the 80s. One of the best concerts I’ve seen. He knew how to put on a show.

It’s the opposite of wrinkly

I don’t know if you are familiar with Danheim, this is some intense, pretty dark stuff. Sonically very interesting, and it tests out your headphones low end and dynamic capabilities.

I don’t know them, but I’ll definitely check it out! :smiley:

Here’s a funny story: circa 2002 I got turned on to a little known vocal & production artist, Imogen Heap, and well known producer, Guy Sigsworth (Seal “Crazy”, Madonna “What It Feels Like For A Girl”, etc), who had teamed up to form a collaborative group called “Frou Frou” (*interesting historical note: Madonna wanted Guy to produce her “Music” album, but Guy declined and agreed to write & produce only a single song, in favor of working with Imogen on the Frou Frou project). I was immediately taken with their lead single “Breathe In”, and commenced to follow them around NYC on their promotional tour - CBGB, Knitting Factory, Red Door, etc. All in all, like a dozen shows, including one at a Barnes & Noble in midtown which apparently no one knew about because it was me, my friend, and like 2 other people sitting literally a couple of feet away from Imogen & Guy doing an hour long demo set. The album was a hit, but a couple of years later Imogen decided to pursue [what has become a wildly successful] solo career and left the group. I’ve been a “superfan” of Imogen ever since, but I’ve always mourned that “Frou Frou” only did one album. Flash forward 20 years, and I was today years old when I found out that a year or two after Imogen left Frou Frou, Guy found a “soundalike”(ish) vocalist who he has been collaborating with ever since. How this escaped me all these years I have no idea, but what an unexpected treat to find this out all these decades later! :smiley:

Also, this entire album “Lightship” is full of audiophile goodness! :headphones: :notes: :smile:

“A Case of You”.

Very nice, very very nice. This is my kind of groove. It reminds me of something I’ve listened to for years:

FYI, your video recommendation is the first thing I’ve heard on my new ZMF Auteur Classics (Mango). Going through the MacBook Pro to Bifrost 2/64 to the Lyr 3 with the LISST FET instead of a tube.

I was on vacation in Puerto Rico last week, and one of my friends who doesn’t realize he is an audiophile yet introduced me to this. I now have tickets to see them live in Queens in June. :smiley: He is coming with me whether he likes it or not. lol

I’m a big fan of Paradise Lost and this album is a side project from a couple of members of the band. (Holmes, Mckintosh.)
This is growing on me. Has some nice choruses in it. Basically it is gothic rock means electronic.
