    Ah. I thought it may have been part of the amplification. Not familiar with any of the items.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    http://www.pianoday.org/ Free download of Nils Frahm's "Solo" played on the Klavins M370. As in a 3m70 tall piano! Lovely sound, but I'm not a fan of Frahm's other albums.

    Solo is my favourite too Richard, just love those percussive sounds! I like The Bells as well. It's quite moving in places, if perhaps a tad sombre. Elsewhere he crosses more into electronica. The Live on KEXP Session on youtube is quite something.

    Thanks for the universal warm welcome, I'll go back and see if i can respond further shortly. Sincere assurance of respect in terms of place and person. Assurance of following normal fashion is less forthcoming. I hope in this respect some leeway can be granted

    Not sure what that's supposed to mean - could you clarify?

    Thanks Geoff

    Marco, I just wanted to try and express that respect will be shown, as it would if we met face to face. I am in a new domain, if you like and as a result I will show this space respect similarly. Thank you for allowing me to make this explicit as I would not want there to be any misunderstanding or feeling of duplicity in terms of on and off line personae. Sorry if my attempt at humour has been misconstrued. All I was looking to express was that I am no dedicated follower of fashion I hope you can agree that this is no bad thing?

    Indeed, and there will be no problems, as long as you do this:

    Hey Kaz, one of the things to learn here is that Marco has a short fuse where some subjects are concerned*. Other than that he's not too bad.

    We are all scarred/ weakened. However, our ability to regenerate cannot be discounted..
