Lineage: John Ramsey 'Signature Series' Stealth Bunaural Mics > Zoom H4 > Mastered (T-Racks/Ozone Suite 4, Waves) > FLAC Level 8 sbe > you.
Taper/Mastered: Jon@ Victoryrosemusic

This is the one!
I don't want to say too much about this one as I recorded it and mastered it myself but I will say that this recording is simply outstanding and is by far the best yet. I've put in well over 10 hours of work into this and am about 96% happy with the results... which is unheard off for me!
A lot of money, effort, planning and time went into bringing this to you at a quality that I desired We were extremely lucky with this particular performance, set list and certain other conditions. I truly hope you enjoy it. For me it was pure magic.

Gareth Dickson - WNYC Radio Session 20.12.2009















Gareth Dickson - WNYC Radio Session 20.12.2009

Xtremely rare recording of Gareth playing live. 2 tracks + some interview from his shared set with Vashti Bunyan's set (of which will be posted soon)

Gareth Dickson - Noon (New Song)













I would like to introduce you to Gareth Dickson. If you dont know him & you like Nick Drake prepare to be very excited! He has played for many years with Vashti Bunyun as her guitarist but in 2009 he released his first proper album - 'Collected Recordings' Its a beautiful mellow, summer evening record with tracks that could well be believed to have been written and performed by Nick Drake. To quote:
“A solo artist singing and playing acoustic guitar – sometimes effected, his songs slip between a beautifully sparse, emotive fragility (recalling Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, etc.) and denser instrumentals (recalling Eno or Labradford). Very cool stuff.” Fatcat Records
Here's the twist, Gareth is so good at playing and singing like Nick Drake he has a project where he 'very rarely' plays Nice Drake Live, called 'Nicked Drake'
Check out the videos below to see how good he really is!
More coming...

Jónsi - Coachella 17.04.2010 Re Master












Jónsi - Coachella 17.04.2010 - Re Master

Lineage: Church Audio CA14 Omni > CA9100 > Edirol 09HR 44.1Khz WAV
TAPER: BCBooya

A great set with perhaps the most energetic performance yet from Jónsi, not surprising considering the venue! I was pleasantly surprised how well the re-mastering turned out for this one. The sound is very good considering its been recorded outside on a windy, hot day. The sound does sometimes 'sway' a little from left to right, I think from the wind, but this in no way detracts from the enjoyment. A few coughs have been removed from quiet sections and a small error with BCBooya's mic's becoming briefly unplugged during 'Grow Till Tall' has been corrected.
Many thanks to BCBooya for kindly allowing the re-mastering and sharing of this concert. Please find all details from the show [Here]

Set List:

01 Sinking Friendships
02 Kolnidor
03 Go Do
04 Boy Lilikoi
05 New Piano Song

07 Animal Arithmatic
08 Grow Till Tall

Jónsi - Unreleased Songs



















Jónsi - Unreleased Songs


This compilation (with the exception of 'Around Us') contains songs that Jónsi has not recorded or released yet. They are taken from Radio Sessions and Concerts from March - May 2010. I've been waiting for one final track of good enough quality to complete this compilation, which we now have. They come from different sources but I've mixed them to get a smooth as possible continuity, and to [hopefully] present the tracks in a way which makes sense, and to flow as an album! As of May 2010 there is no official word if these songs will be released at a later date.
Hope you enjoy it :)

Through the kindness of Jon.G we have an absolutely stunning show which has to be heard to be believed. The quality is just wonderful, very crisp & clean, a real delight to listen to.
