I forgot to say....Re: Help put together CS-80 discography!

2004-12-16 by maxferfranc

Why these V albums and not the following ones?
Even if I am a fan of all V music I suggest those albums because the 
cs-80 sound is much cleaner than on the next records : sometimes V 
uses a Masterroom sprin reverb and a tape delay in a subtle 
way ,while in the albums starting from "see you later" the sound 
comes loaded of digital reverberation (courtesy of L 224): moreover V 
plays more cs on these albums than on the following ( from SYL to 
Rhapsodies the strings will come only from VP330 !!!)
