I finally got my hands on Cherry Five’s album from Amazon Italy! This is actually the first name of the famous Italian prog rock band Goblin and it’s a brillant album in my opinion. Very The Yes Album/Fragile kind of symphonic progressive rock. I also got their album Il Fantastico Viaggio Del “Bagarozzo” Mark (released under the name of Goblin) which is also awesome! As you may know, Italian Prog Rock scene is pure prog heaven!

During the last couples of weeks, I’ve been working on recording bass. Well, actually, I’ve been busy searching for the best sounds I could get from my new “two tracks recording” rig (picture below). I started to record only one track using the great Tech VT Bass Deluxe unit but it appears that a second VT Bass unit would be really useful to record two tracks at the same time with two different settings, a classic SVT clean sound and a heavier 70′s overdrive sound. I could have used a bass simulation software to get that sound but I was not very convinced. I’m also using my other Supa Fuzz clone (Supa Bender) to get some Mike Rutherford kind of bass fuzz. As the result is quite satisfying, I started to record some tracks and got some nice takes. So the next weeks will still be dedicated to bass recording.

Hi everyone! Here is the traditional playlist, the music I listen to the most and inspire me a lot these days. I guess you already know this album but if you don’t, I can’t recommend you enough to check out Astra‘s The Weirding album. It is space psychedelic progressive rock at its best!
By the way, I’m on vacation for a week so I take the train tomorrow, early in the morning, to record some vocals at Spleen Arcana HQ. I’ll record with my usual favorite setup, an Oktava MK319 and a Great River preamp. I’ll only have three days so I plan to work on the most epic parts there and record the rest of the vocals here in Paris. Stay tuned…

Latest part of my “vintage” oriented pedalboard, the Pig Hoof arrived today from the Czech Republic. This is a “Ram’s Head” Big Muff clone built by Electronic Orange. I read about this model on the great Gilmourish.com website and was amazed by the audio samples I heard. The Pig Hoof replaces my Big Muff reissue and my Supa Fuzz clone at the moment, boosted with my Colorsound Power Boost. It sounds great! A bit dark, very smooth, endless sustain and the Pig Hoof is quiter than the BM reissue. It may become the main lead sound for my upcoming recordings…
