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.
