Hello all.
I'm kinda new to this group so I thought I'd wait till I had something to
offer before checking in.
Has anyone had the chance to check out "Lost in Space," Aimee Mann's new CD?
There is tons of Chamberlin on nearly evey cut. Mostly it is played by
Michael Lockwood, a keyboardist with whom I am not familiar. Anyone know
anything about him... other CDs on which he has appeared?
Excellent CD. I saw her in concert in Portland, Maine last October. Everything was top notch, the band was tight and she was great. The only downside was that Patrick Warren and his Chamberlin weren't present. The keyboard player did a good job, but obviously not as good as what you hear on the CD. I believe that Michael Lockwood is the guitar player, and he played some very tasty stuff at the show. His guitar arsenal consisted almost entirely of vintage Epiphones, and the guitar sound was true to the CD, with some very nice ringing tones. I think he also produced the record. and played minimoog (on the CD) on "The Moth", which she opened the concert with.
Now Patrick Warren, who played Chamberlin on the album, is no stranger to most on this list. He's played with Michael Penn, Elliot Smith, Fiona Apple to name a few. Actually, unless I'm mistaken, I think he's probably the top artist who still plays a tape replay device on stage these days.
