  3. Robert Lloyd - Time of the Session

    - By Arend, Apr 1, 2004 12:00 AM
    When the music was fast, and the players anonymous. Most of the music you will ever hear will be played by people you will never see and whose names you will neither know nor think to ask. It will be recorded in windowless rooms, witnessed sometimes only by an engineer or producer, the now-ancient technology of the overdub making the presence even of other musicians unnecessary. For every superstar singer or guitar heroine whose name adorns a T-shirt or tattoo, there are hundreds whose work is done anonymously, or as good as. Who play their part, collect their pay and go home.
  4. Kenneth Sherman - Daryl Hall & John Oates, Suprising, amazing, experimental: WOW!

    - By Arend, Feb 12, 2004 12:00 AM
    When you mention Daryl Hall and John Oates, most people snicker while memories of cheesy videos and slick soul-tinged 80s pop dance around in their heads. Too bad no remembers this gem of an album, Along the red ledge. It’s an artistic triumph that reaches heights H and O never quite achieved again (although the two albums the proceeded it, X-Static and Voices came close). I was just a kid when Red ledge came out but even back then, I was blown away.

Probably the same as anyone, and maybe I was a pretty good guitar player for a white guy. Hahaha."

    - By Arend, Oct 9, 2003 12:00 AM

  13. David B. - Steve Lukather

    - By Arend, Aug 5, 2003 12:00 AM

    Lukather: "When the record companies got all hip to ProTools, they went fuck it, we'll give you $50K and whatever you don't spend, you can keep. Which makes people greedy. So then they don't want to pay the "A" session guys. So they'll get some kid who has good ideas but who can't necessarily execute them well. And it doesn't matter because they can fix it all. It's a different era, man. The session scene is dead. It doesn't exist!"
