The Sound Board

You know Henning Wehn - now there's a funny German comedian. However, we'd better get back on topic... Sorry, all !

This from a German?

(this is only a clever line if you're British and of a certain age)

Not British and used it above before you!

(Apparently as I discovered this morning, it means something else for sex tourists in Thailand...)

Might be good for garage music. Boom Boom.

I hear there is a genre called Noise Rock...

Very strange indeed.

And Gibson moving into consumer electronics? Guitars with built-in speakers/TVs/microwaves/hairdryers...

Yes indeed, Rowlon the next Rowland episode.

(PS Just spotted you in a fairly recent (and very good) SOS article..!)

Thanks for the update Guy. After around a year of indecision , and having just said I wasn't buying any more, and having let the sale come and go on Project Sam's website, and even though there are no new patches in it with 1.6, I finally succumbed and bought Lumina on JRRshop for €350, where it see...

Amazing Jaap, fair play to you.

(PS I only realised recently that the triple spiral is an old stone age / celtic symbol and is found inscribed in rock at Newgrange not too far from me).

Looking forward to that Guy. A bit tempted by Lumina in the current sale (but not sure).

Based on thoughts here, and having another listen through, I decided to go for the upgrade as a Christmas present to myself. I got no real use out of the original Albion (I didn't really like a lot of it), hopefully I'll get more use out of this later (when I ever get around to downloading it). It d...

Seeing as @tack had a late Black Friday post, thought I'd do one as well. (I can't believe I didn't think of posting this at the time. It stems from much earlier events but some of the lyrics still seem to fit quite nicely with our modern-day version) When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a h...

Great idea Jaap, I only have Omnisphere and even the Omni patches on their own are great value but more importantly it is for a great chariity as well.

Thanks Q

Good on ya Jaap!

Cheers. Looking forward to hearing what people think of it, if they get around to installing and trying it out.

Ah thanks for all the info Guy - so legatos only exist in octaves in ONE - strange. I must have a listen to walkthroughs over the Christmas.

Yep I got an email saying I can upgrade from my 'legacy' "1" to the new "ONE" for €99. I was just going to ask here if peeps thought it was it worth it, when I spotted the thread. I don't use "1" or to be honest really like much of it apart from Easter Island Hits and t...

Yep you're right - Fagan's iconic delivery and personality makes them a completely different thing, makes it what it is. And yup the slower version of Brooklyn is definitely better. The studio version is more Carly Simon-y or something. What I realised the other day for the first time - when I came ...

Sorry for all the Dan posts, I"ll take a break - but I only just discovered this - if you fancy a good old rocking blues this is great! (played loud).

My God, following a small bit of accidental youtube surfing, I had no idea how many Steely Dan tribute bands are out there! Incredibly difficult to pull off, especially the lead vocal, which is so iconic. Anything not really close to the feel of it just sounds wrong. And timing-wise, most of the cov...

It's amazing what you can turn that famous Hitler clip to. Here Adolf bemoans what Steely Dan became post the Gaucho album.

Maybe it's tinternet, but the demos don't sound anything special / above-and-beyond to me.

Yeah when I got the CD a few years back I really liked it and played it to death, but generally afterwards I had the impression that it was a little bit same-y and blues-y/pop-y for them. But then came back to it recently and thought (while still not 100% convinced by that snare and bass sound!) yes...

Rediscovered this beauty recently from Messrs Becker and Fagan. Some incredible crackin' tunes on this (turn it up!), not to mention the fabulous sound production, arrangements and mix (even on youtube), and of course the quirky lyrics. Jack of Speed (what a riff), Cousin Dupree (a rockin' country t...

Succumbed to the extended version of this at €86 yesterday (looks like that offer still available) but won't be able to use it for a few months. Hope it works out.
