The Boss be damned! . . . :twisted:

I watched this and was amazed! . . . 8)

What a rig! . . . :shock:

And Utley is so eloquent working with it and discussing it! . . . :)

Great stuff! Watch the price of a Siel Orchestra go up... isn't it brilliant that something that's normally pretty useless has been found useful to one person in one particular niche application? I wonder if it's because the tuning on it is a little off...

Agreed. I'm not exactly a huge fan of Portishead, but that was both insightful and entertaining.

Wasn't Will Gregory taking about one of those in a recent Soncistate video as well? They're all the rage!

those were great.

i've always been a portishead fan, and its great to know htat adrian is as much of a gear nut as I am.

he's got some amazing gear
No one cares, no one sympathizes,
so you just stay home and play synthesizers.

"or all this gear has already paid my way to Oxford"

...if you notice, that house/studio was I think deceptively large...

Well he'd just got one, probably because Adrian said try it out...

Ya, that was a big house- 4 story. Probably one of those Victorian piles in Bristol. Very nice.

Thought that was a great little insight so thanks for posting.

More likely Georgian, due to the windows.
