Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

Well, vacation officially ended today :(

I have unpacked 90% of the Indiana parts. I may not have a good place to put
everything (the dining room table has 342 MOTM panels stacked in boxes on it
right now. Wife not impressed).

There is no lack of things to do it seems :) I will start with MOTM-650s, then
ship all of the power supplies and then start on the VCOs and ship all of the
leftover complete kits from Indiana.

I ask that please hold off on the "where is my stuff" emails until Feb. 1st. Let
me see what I can ship out the next 3 weeks first.

I will ∗not∗ be at NAMM this year, but if you run into Robert Rich at the Analog
Haven booth you can talk to him. He's very nice and polite. And he thinks I take
too long to ship, too.

Lastly: if you are looking for new CDs to listen to, here are my 2 favorites
from 2006 (well, I ∗bought them∗ in 2006).

Miriam - Mariam Stockley (Narada). 4 octave range, most people know her work
'singing' on the "Adiemus" series of stuff. This CD is more straightforward
(only 1 song is done in that style). She is sort of a blend of Enya/Annie
Halsam/Dusty Springfield (!). She has absolute perfect pitch and this CD is
really stunning. Probably the best female underrated singer in the world.

The Silver Tree - Lisa Gerrard (EMI). Voice from 'Dead Can Dance', this is not
really "singing" but then it's hard to classify exactly ∗what∗ you would call
it. A female Bobby McFarrin in the ambient style? Currently the #1 CDTST (CD to
solder to). Lots of synths (sounds like software to me) but impeccable
production values. A bit expensive (around $30) but there is really nothing like
it out there.
