@user9193231: This must have been the second mix because I remember Simon nearly coming to fisticuffs over it being panned hard right on the first mix. Mind you, that was done at 5am on the final session day!

@user9193231: Ah bless the 2290, a visible click track!

Feet on the wedges Iron Maiden stylee bit...

Brilliant!!! No Seriously!   My MMT-8's  LED Wasnt Visible from more then 3' away! 

For completists and purists only! Apologies for the wow/flutter. Original recorded on 24trk tape in 1991. Finally managed to find a copy and have tweaked it digitally from a cassette master made in 1994. So it's as good as it's going to get. You should hear the original... :)

The song 'It's OK' was inspired by a series of difficult events that occurred during the year after Jon completed his tour on BBDLP1, the last Big Black Delta record. This included losing his father to a stroke, finding that all of his gear was stolen, and losing one of his best friends to cancer. Since going public with some of this news, Bates has been inundated with incredible kindness and thoughtful support from friends, musicians, fans and strangers alike. This song is a thank you. A gesture of gratitude to everyone who has been kind — and to the universe itself.
Big Black Delta's forthcoming album 'Tragame Tierra' is due out in January 2016, you can pre-order now via Pledge Music, alongside limited edition and exclusive merchandise:  http://smarturl.it/BBD-TragameTierra

It's Ok

Here Come the Jiis

My first time recording at Abbey Road studios London, and I loved it! Hope you enjoy this beautiful Hoagy Carmichael song which especially appeals to me as a city-girl  who longs for the country air..
Lastly, it's hats-off to Nick Shankland for the wonderful piano playing.

Living the Dream is the second chapter of FAT – next-generation guitar modernist Alex Machacek's Fabulous Austrian Trio, featuring bassist Raphael Preuschl and drummer Herbert Pirker. With the sensitive touch of a jazz guitarist, the intervallic ingenuity and harmonic density of a post-serialist composer, and a seemingly endless capacity for improvisational empathy, Machecek has been turning heads on his own and when performing alongside such iconic musical forces as Terry Bozzio, Jeff Sipe, and Gary Husband. No less than John McLaughlin remarked that "Machacek's music starts where other music ends."
<p>Born in Austria – native nation of Haydn, Strauss, Webern, and Schoenberg – Machacek revels in the company of his countrymen throughout Living the Dream. In Preuschl and Pirker, Machacek has cultivated a trio of boundless resourcefulness, with the technical capacity to support and enrich his ecstatic flights and the depth and taste to keep the potentially demanding music emotionally grounded. Machacek’s deft hand as a producer further elevates the trio’s captivating dynamic with cunning electronic touches and subtle overdubs. Across a program of eleven original compositions (four by Preuschl, the rest Machacek’s), Living the Dream is a compelling document of a remarkable new ensemble as they fearlessly probe the boundaries of a post-fusion universe.
