I am a huge fan of Don Breithaupt and Monkey House, and I was thrilled to see this pop up on my Facebook today. They definitely do Walter's song justice here. Great stuff.
Thanks for the reminder, Matt -- downloaded the whole thing yesterday -- really really good!
This is a very, very cool version of a very, very cool song! It has such a smooth flow to it, I just feel like I'm floating on my back, out in the turquoise waters of paradise somewhere.. What a great way to slip away.. Lookout, I'm gone! Lary
Is this album available on CD? I would like a physical copy of the music, I would really prefer to give my money more directly to the artists.. I have no respect for the streaming services. The music industry has always been corrupt, but at least the artists, who created the music, get paid for their work, especially if they are independent artists.. I don't see the album in the record stores yet.. Lary
Amazon has it in CD and vinyl formats, and there's also high resolution FLAC downloads available directly from the record label Alma, including the 24bit/192 khz resolution audiophile version. https://shopalmarecords.com/products/friday I personally got it on both CD AND vinyl, and it sounds absolutely incredible on vinyl in particular, great mastering job.
Thank You so much everyone, and special thanks to Dan. I had checked on Amazon but it wasn't listed at the time. Very happy to hear that the vinyl pressing is so good, I ordered my copy today. By the way, I just noticed Matt's posting of the isolated bass, drums, synth, and guitar parts from Gaucho, very interesting indeed! I have a couple of thoughts regarding this topic as well. I hope to add to this discussion within a day or two! Thanks again, and talk soon.. Lary
