FAR CORPORATION - STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

Hello and Welcome Back... Led Zeppelin meets Phil Collins, Toto & Barclay James Harvest

Released in 1985, 'Stairway to Heaven' by U.K band Far Corporation was a rework of the famous track by Led Zepplin but with a twist...

Halfway into the 9min song, Drums suddenly become very 'Phil Collins' sounding, 'Big' is probably the word i would use, meanwhile members of Toto & Barclay Jame Harvest fill the rest with various Guitars, Synths, Angelic Voices and Vocals that sound Realllly Goood...

 The man behind the sound is Frank Farian (Boney M, Milli Vanilli)

This track has a real huge stadium sound and sounds amazing on a good set of headphones

Stairway to Heaven was track one on the album 'Division One'

Far Corporation was a shorten version of  'Frank Farian Corporation'

Take a Listen and 'Play Loud'

NEX-GEN REMASTERS

Hello and Welcome Back... A Little Info

You may have noticed that previous posts of albums have the banner "Nex-Gen Remaster"

But, What Does that Mean??

Well, for me, it tells me thats its a new way of remastering that i have created. I am now able to remaster music keeping alot more information / sounds than previous.

Strangely enough, i tried this technique before but failed due to a setting being wrong, but now im very happy with the results. So from now on, if you see this =

OR

Then you can expect excellent sound quality...

So i decided to put a name to my way of remastering so that i know (and you guys out there) that its the new way of doing things...
Also another way (in the recording process) is in the labeling if Remastered..
The two dots at the end of Remastering also tells me that its going to sound great.. Hopefully :)

Sometimes, though, it doesnt work as with the next album im going to post (Radiators)..
In the previous post (1988 - Hit Pix), I used a certain process that keeps the sound at a certain level when recording but with the Radiators album that's coming up, this didn't sound good... I kinda lost its 'Mojo' so to speak, so i left the last stage of remastering out and 'wacko', it sounds nice and punchy...

Take a listen and if you like what you hear, please shout me a coffee as more space is needed to put these great albums on display, oh, and my soundcard is giving me the shits...
Need a new one soon, so please,  a donation is most appreciated and i will send 80s love your way...

Cheers Guys

Enjoy the Music
