Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Re: Mythical Fairlight Original Owners list

2012-03-15 by Peter Connelly

As far as I'm aware, the Fairlight I owned by ZZTop or the used in the studio they recorded their stuff. Unfortunately, there were no rogue beard / hairs in the mainframe when I received it... I checked.
Kyle Reed, on this list, now owns it and, unless he's changed his mind, it will be up for sale soon...

I'am an afterburner fan as well.
cmi is written all over roughboy.

a smooth and constand cmi "oooh" versus distorted oldschool r&;b rock guitars.
an atmosphere never reproduced as far as I know.
the blues guitar solo at the end backed by a constant sighing sarah cohen is nothing less than devine.

Is this the series III in action ? or the IIx?

cheers,
David

I did own a failright that was used by ZZTop. The best thing is that I have the library as well. More than half the battle is in the library's.
