    Just ordered VRIL Effigies in Cork with some other BD Gems. Can't wait this sounds amazing, Bob Drake you rule!

    Rats. Even a 30-minute nugget would suffice. It would be fascinating to see your studio and just a wee glimpse into the details of your music for us "Bob Heads".

    Well, it's gotten 5 or 6 (almost) complete spins, but "The Thing" only has gotten 2. I'll spin that one again, it's just that I prefer that with headphones and this disc has been in my car all week. I also grabbed "Little Black Train" but '13 Songs' hasn't left the player! Some tunes have gotten played many more times, like "Rtuff", maybe one of my favorite BD pieces ever. Totally brilliant. I'll probably start a different thread so it can be properly archived here.

    PS -also spun Stockhausen "Kontakte" tonight. I play so much weird music, the kids didn't even notice it, and I had it cranked up. That is also seriously beyond incredible.

    I have never heard any Stockhousen, its time to change that

    Here are a few photos I took in August 2012 when I was recording "Agents of Decay", with some description of what I was doing: http://bdblog.bdrak.com/june-july-august/
    The song is here: https://soundcloud.com/b-d-1/agents-of-decay
    I used the "poor man's Leslie" on the Solina organ during the verses.

    The final result is all that matters, the rest is just me having too much fun and working dawn till dusk

    Landmark work. I've got the original Deutsche Grammophon vinyl release where this features with "Gesang der Jünglinge" (also spectacularly great!), and it's definitely on of the most cherished modern classical gems in my collection.

    My pleasure Bob! You make some amazing music! My favorite so far is Skull Mailbox and Other Horrors. You also have one of my favorite voices in music too!

    "The Fatal Duckpond"

    Just got this too. One spin through, very enjoyable a la Effigies although I'm sure future listens will further reveal this album. Overall it has the same carefree, grooving fun nature about it. Of course, stellar playing.
