Hoyt Street ExFuckingPerience!!
Folks:
Seventy-Two Hoyt is mostly about the music we churned (and still churn) out through our altered states, stereo-hifis, etc (although it also involves a lot of beer, whiskey, E&Js ... thank god ... and Baatel for this!), Captain Morgan, White Owls et al ...
Here we have stuff we did back in the zone in 2002, 2003 and 2004 ...
"On The Breath Of Poseidon (Segue)" and "Sonata Finale":
Man Oh Man!! I think we did this over a period of about a half-month (although I sure as hell remember we finished "Sonata" in about eight hours ... kept alive and kickin' by SX and of course copius amounts of thump and tea from Maddu!!) ...
OTBOP was not as much a hellhole recording as it was for mixing (that goddamn bass overkill at the end ... pleease guys ... software has limitation ... as does our souls!!) ... I remember I made Maddu listen to it about a dozen times .. with equivalents os thump and teas of course!!
Sonata was much lesser of a pain ... we recorded 11 different piano pieces (Mikey P ... you truly are a genius!!) ... Vee's solo was done in about 5 takes I think ...
Vijay ... I remember that night we did Sonata in full detail ... my Amrutanjan smeared forehead at dawn and everyhing!! Faizal's "Abbe ... tumlog soye nahi ab tak?!" (he'd done that about a zillion times before!!) ... DELIGHTFUL SESSION!!!
I did "Transcendence (Segue)" in about a half day when I was in Pennington ... problem is I dont have the waves anymore ... so forget mastering this ...
Vijay ... you remember "Dimanche Matin Soleil", of which we recorded the "Etude"?? Twas neat ... maybe we'll do some more with it someday .... and then there was "When A Blind Man Cries" ... four tracks from the Roland ... what fun!!
I have other stuff ... which I want to re-edit ... "Wasted Sunsets", "Hard Lovin' Man" and "Apache" (Deep Purple, Deep Purple and The Black Baron, respectively) ... "Signs Of Life" (Floyd), "And The World Returned" (At The Gates) ... for the life of me ... I dont know where that "A Winter's Dream (Part 1)" recording is!! Khan's comp .. I think ...
But here it is ... all I have ... great fucking sessions ... have fun you guys!!

Really cool! All of them! Of course had heard them all countless number of times before. But it was sheer pleasure listening to it again. Brought back all the good old memories. :-) The 72 hoyt street version of When a blind man cries was infact the only version of the song I'd heard and would keep listening to for the longest time. :-)
I can still smell the amrutajan....one night's headache = lifetime of bliss...we have come to believe that..Long live the memories...Ajay I like the "Wasted Sunsets" the most...please upload it...always a big fan of your guitar playing..
BTW OTBOP (remastered) has the end portion cut...can we have that too please for the raw unadulterated 72 HOYT STREET experience..
oh darn ... i got the versions all mixed up ... ill upload that tonight ... ill probably upload "Wasted Sunsets" also ...
