GREAT:
Bassist Sekou Bunch –
SEKOU -
Vital 004 from Vacuum Tube Logic (David Manley) –
2LPs –
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
David Manley has been in the audiophile game a long time. Pioneering huge tube designs in amplifiers, he has also produced a slew of very fine recordings, utilizing his own built-from-the-ground-up studio, and, of course, using his own tube electronics throughout the audio capture.
(Of particular note in this, are his Manley "Gold Reference" Stereo Condenser microphones. They remind me sonically of the electrostatic designs of speaker-maker Robert Fulton, years ago. Tasty mics, incredibly sensitive and defined.)
That said, this release of bassist Sekou Bunch is something else again, as it hosts two bass players and percussion with violin, piano, guitar and sax. (Fine sound results...you can picture the vibrating strings in your listening room.)
Great selections are CATANO, PASTELS, DOLPHIN DANCE, SEVEN STEPS TO HEAVEN, LET’S JAM, and DAY IN THE SAHARA, among others.
A beautiful sounding set, presented in double covers, both in fine shape without fault. Inside, are two very well-cut LPs in near mint condition.
An audiophile 2-record set, of great musicianship and energy, recorded super well, and among the first from mastermind Manley at VTL.
For other fine records, TAS picks and hard-to-finds, please see my complete list of offerings here on eBay.
Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $15 via airmail for the first LP, $3 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $6, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
