Seriously - I had a friend who was a talented jazz keyboard player. We visited a church once (England) and found the door to the organ loft open. No one else was there, so my friend sat down and started playing some Jimmy Smith on the Church's pipe organ. After 5 minutes the Vicar walked in and found us. He wasn't angry, but said, "It's a long time since I heard this baby sounding so good!" He was a Jimmy Smith fan too. Gotta love CofE vicars (well sometimes). Here's a taste of Jimmy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqSLoxwkCYE |

Hell - I've just rediscovered a Terence Trent D'Arby CD in the bottom of a box in the attic.
As Lenny Henry once said "Vote Terence Trent D'Arby for Pope!"
Whatever happened to him?
And where does the "D'Arby" come from - a Jane Austin novel? (Milords, Ladies and Genelmen, I respectfully introduce Mr D'Arby)
No - it's actually Sananda Francesco Maitreya. A Yank with a false name.
Bloody amazing music though!

You realise that multi-track recording technology (on multi-track tape recorders) was the foundation of modern diz-whap music? Before digital whizz-bangs?
I propose "Killer Queen" (by Queen) as a prime example. Probably 16 track mastered, mixed down to 8 then 4 or 2 for production of the retail product. Analogue, not digital. But the origins are true to the original.
By the way this is not true stereo. This involved only two or three mics and tracks which could both pick up 'echoes' of the original, not so with multi-track, which separated them all out at source, this missing some of the original interaction.
This is why Killer Queen is no match for any Decca recording from the '70's. (eg.the Mahler's and Wagners, let alone the Beatles.)
Decca is a very interesting company, and their pioneering use of sound technology.
Check the "Decca London" sound head (record cartridge and recording techo).
