------THE PUMP
- TWO TITANS OF GUITAR PAYING TRIBUTE TO JEFF BECK

 

[J. PUPSTER]

This is an album that I've loved for decades. It features Mark Knopfler on guitar, Alan Clark on keyboards and Pino Palladino on bass. The only issue with this title is that it hasn't gotten a re-issue since it came out in 1988; and I believe it could use some remastering to give it more punch, clarity and shine. This album has IMO some of her most personal, touching and infectious music of her career.

A couple of stand out tracks with Knopfler on guitar:

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Hymns to the Silence is a double album masterpiece by Van that may have been missed by a lot of folks.

A couple of the stand out tracks includes one called Village Idiot; which is very personal to me. I once knew someone similar to the person this song describes. Extremely sad, but uplifting at the same time.

I've always thought it sounded fine, but I would like to hear your opinion.

Wish AXSTV stuck to music which they do a great job with. It’s when they show wrestling and rerun movies that I wonder what the hell they're smoking!

Crack.....Horse Tranquilizers.....PCP....you name it.....LMAO

Listening now to this 2 disc Greatest Hits CD of Mike + The Mechanics-Out Of The Blue, some new tracks, plus a remix or two. All these songs are remixes and sound slightly different with little additions but the core of the songs are the same.

Here is an update on that, posted to another thread (just keepin' it clean here!)
It may open up more points of discussion

Listening now to brand new Import CD from CDJapan, stereo. Live Truth 1968, Jeff Beck Group. Tracks 1-6 from Fillmore West July 24 1968 and Tracks 7-13 from Lu Anne's Club, Dallas July 17 1968. Being a all Jeff Beck freak of course I had to get this. I would classify this as a historical recording, but consider the source and time you can't expect much. Super stereo to the point there is no phantom center, kind of weird, Rod Stewart and Mickey Walter (drums) and Ron Wood (bass) left speaker and Guitar right speaker, pretty weird, even when audience claps sound comes out of the two speakers with nothing in the middle, again, cool but weird to listen to. Fidelity is actually pretty good, not muddy sounding, pretty clear sounding. Glad I have it.

Odd stereo mix per your observation, but I’m also a massive Jeff Beck aficionado and can forgive some audio mix ‘mistakes’ coming from this incarnation of Jeff’s first band.

Nothing to Nobody
(Co-written with Michael McDonald)
Very fun song to play along with for you guitarists out there.
Saw Robben perform parts of this album up close at the Oakland Yoshi's, magical.

 

[marpow]

OK, I'm fucking done being an audiophile for the moment, just gonna let my freak flag fly and listen to cool rock bands.

 

[marpow]

My ears are nice and warmed up but I just had to listen to this CD, bought a bottle and a 6 pack. Next up is the 5.1 of Larks' Tongues In Aspic, but for now digging what could be Blues Grammy of The Year.

First ever listen to Tangerine Dream's
Phaedra

Although stereo, I'm giving it a gentle up mix via my Marantz's Dolby Surround.

Got it off Amazon for a fiver.

This one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0000074C9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Really wish I could justify the new box set, but £123 is too much.

I was and am a Faust, Can plus Kraftwerk listener and latterly Schiller.
For some strange reason never got into Tangerine Dream...

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Finally got around to loading up the DR meter on Foobar2000 and grabbed this one. The DR sounds about right -relatively?
Not sure of the year on this CD: Columbia CK 34680 - DIDP 072645

Krankschaft III CD if you like Hawkwind you'll like them (Krankschaft were originally Robert Calvert's backing band, only one left is Steve Pond), the current bassist was with The Enid.
