This afternoon I
wrapped up the tour of Root 70’s discography with the self-titled
debut album released in 2000. Plenty of youthful exuberance here.
Will the lads don the drag if the 20th Anniversary Tour
takes place later in the year once this shitshow is over? A couple or
three quick takeaways from the discography tour. The albums are nicely recorded.
Jochen and Matt are one of my favourite rhythm section pairings. The
blend – in separate sections (the horns and rhythm) and together as
a whole. The overall ensemble sound is one of balance. They bring
some old-school sensibilities (group sound, recording techniques)
into a contemporary setting.
A keen eye would
have noticed that I skipped the vinyl version of Fahvergnugen (with
Wolff Parkinson White remixes and an alternate take) as I still don’t
have a turntable.... maybe I’ll take it off the shelf and stare at
for a bit. Meanwhile, I wait for the box to arrive and throw the "Root 70 Plays Root 70" idea out there once again.
