So, what have you been listening to lately?

Uncanny, but also disconcerting. I'm not sure whether I'm looking forward to the 60th anniversary edition of Sgt Pepper with all music being separated from the original voices via AI and being rerecorded state of the art "to bring the sonic experience into the 21st century".

I think Facebook have crushed any up scaling as that Cream clip looks pretty pixelated. I can tell they've done the AI 60 FPS trick as everything has a quick jerkiness to it, like a bad soap opera. Hopefully people figure out how to use these tools in moderation!

This is a tasteful restoration of an old film.

Ever wondered what Back In Black would have sounded like if Bon Scott had sung it?

There's quite a few not so convincing versions you can find on YouTube. But this one is done a whole lot better and it actually sounds like Bon.

This version done by Henrik Eriksson was taken down off YouTube.
But the Vimeo link is still working




its quite creepy how good that is


For me this is proof that AI results are just as good as the human input, and the processing of the result by humans afterwards.

Wow, that is crazy good.  I'm a huge Bon Scott fan.

Dutch band DeWolff is actually a trio (drums, hammond, guitar).
But lately the band has some extensions on board. Now there are seven extra members on stage with them!

I know these guys, you recommended them to me, bedankt! Have a few of their CDs. I can never get enough of a steaming, dominant Hammond. These guys are actually more Rare Earth than they are DP, but heartwarming still.

Digging this. More Hammond!

More Hammond! 


Have I ever done anything less than slavishly accommodate all your inner desires, Tom?

As a trio they are really cooking too:

This I like - just the right mix between reverence for the original and youthful devil-may-care attitude. Love the guitarist's overt Slash'isms. Dig the glam rock/Hanoi Rocks vibe it has. They're from Romania.



I believe Golden Earring would approve.

And you of all people missed to post Der König of Hammond!

Who needs Klaus, when we have Helge these days?!



PS: Helge Schneider is a German comedian known for his surreal musical pieces. In actual fact, he's an accomplished jazz musician who used to do musical spoofs as encores to his "serious set" until they became his mainstay. He has a knack of doing things that are so grossly unmusical, only a very musical mind could come up with them.
