none really wowed me, but i guess i prefer more aggressive comps on 2 bus. i do own the Iron, but never use it. weird Don Cab worship band for the example - that was unexpected.
*worth noting, i'm listening on my crappy laptop via headphones. certainly not the best for critical listening

I’m just unimpressed. I can get a cleaner or a vibier sound with the old news “hot shit from 5 years ago” Kotelnikov and Presswerk |

I did like the SPL Iron the best. Though I think the Gyraf G22 hardware beats all of them. It was hard to discern too much from this as some parts of the source were not my cup of tea - especially the way the snare sort of stuck out as not being cohesive. But this may be a purely subjective thing.

Lol right?! More of a Trombino/Drive Like Jehu guitar tone though! Was not expecting 90s math rock this morning! |

I literally don’t know what any of these words mean 🤷🏼♂️ 🤣 This is fair  A quick wikidump... Don Caballero is a Pittsburgh band that I think maybe still exists in some form. One of the guitarists quit and started a band called Battles (with the drummer from Helmet!). They put out record on Warp. Drive Like Jehu was a San Diego band. The drummer was Mark Trombino who moved into production work after DLJ. The guitarists splintered off into Rocket from the Crypt and eventually Hot Snakes (who put out records on Sub Pop). Don Cab and DLJ were called “math rock” by most writers—which was and is a stupid name. Genre names! /shrug Essential album picks: Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime (100 watt Marshall amp prog fury + The Wipers pt. 2) Don Caballero - What Burns Never Returns or American Don (crazy syncopated drum rhythms interspersed with Akai Headrush loop pedal acrobatics; and great song titles) Battles - Mirrored (like a fun, dancier version of Don Cab. “Atlas” is what listening to Gary Glitter and not getting skeeved out sounds like) Hot Snakes - All the albums rule (Drive Like Jehu without the prog + The Wipers pt. 3) Rocket from the Crypt - Hot Charity / Scream Dracula Scream (a more punk / rockabilly version of Jehu, but also a horn section!) Have fun! |

No lame in music listening. You can’t possibly know it all!
I never listened to Piero Umiliani (knowingly) until this week, and that stuff is waaaay in my wheelhouse. Now I’ve got 50 hours or so of music to dig into!
