Basses downstairs when i went early noughties. So much amazing gear, and i’d come from uni in newcastle where we had 7 shops to peruse in the late 90s.
just down that quiet cobbled street from the Tube was The Captain Kidd, a quality drinking establishment.
It depends: if the remix/remaster/whatever has bonus tracks (like the Yes reissues) then that usually swats it for me. In some instances, e.g. Vapor Trails; it’s like two separate albums, such are the differences, which is a plus.
Oof - I looooove Hemispheres. It's a glorious peak of noodling.
My current favourite re-release is Replay x3 with 3 live tour dvds and the GUP tour CD - it's utterly awesome.
This is cool. Nowt wrong with big kits; guitarists can turn up with 3 guitars and 25 pedals.
I especially like Professor Peart’s tour kits with 2 seats and more cymbals than a drum shop.
Is this why you have loads of ACG basses, because you live in the same vast forested bit of Scotland? (You do have a few don't you?)
Jiggery and pokery is the backbone of bespoke ingenuity.
Yay - glad you could fill in while Christine is gallivanting around the EU...
