Damn… I want that vocoder! And reverb! And delay…

Deluxe Octave Multiplexer? Where?!?

*cough*Kick the Carbon Copy’s ASS*cough*

On a road trip a while back, I happened to watch School of Rock. At one point, Jack Black hands a kid a copy of Fragile, by Yes, and tells him to listen to the track Roundabout. My parents happened to have that CD, so I gave it a try. Suffice to say, I’m still recovering. From Yes came ELP and Jethro Tull, then Talking Heads, CSN&Y, Gentle Giant, Kraftwerk, Miles Davis, Stravinsky, The Cure, et cetera. Then, after I switched piano teachers from a twenty five year old session guitarist to a very old, experienced avant-jazz player, my world changed again. Steve Reich and Terry Riley, more Miles Davis, Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, and on and on down the rabbit hole. Lastly, I met my current band’s guitarist, who introduced me to indie and modern alternative: Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, Decemberists, TV On The Radio, Dirty Projectors, Justice, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, and what have you. It’s an amazing journey so far, I can’t wait to see what happens next.

I need a space drum. Simple as that. And why no love for the synth?

Make it so.

Relax. The Cathedral Advanced Algorithm Reverb is taking its place.

And the Holy Stain reverb is simply INCREDIBLE. I easily prefer it to the Holy Grail. Plus, ya know, if you’re playing a small place and you just need dirt and verb, the Stain is also very handy. Terrific investment.
