THIS TAPE DECK LITERALLY HOLDS 38 A1 SONGS. FAST-FORWARD TO CHANGE SONGS. AND HIT PLAY (MAKE SURE TO STOP THE REGULAR MYSPACE PLAYER FIRST)
THE BIG CASETTE TAPE YOU SEE IN "SOUNDS LIKE" CONTAINS 38 SONGS PRODUCED IN A1 STUDIO OR WITH JARED KOEPPEL PLAYING KEYS... YOU WILL FIND TRAX WITH THE LIKES OF MARLON SOBOL, CURLY LOCKS, KONAN, IRA ONE BLOOD, ROLAND RAMOS, LOU STOOLZ & VERSIONS (INSTRUMENTALS) PRODUCED BY JARED KOEPPEL. "BANKS TO THE RIVER" WAS NOT PRODUCED AT A1, BUT JARED PLAYS KEYS ON IT. IF YOU STOP THE REGULAR MYSPACE PLAYER AND HIT PLAY ON THE TAPE, YOU CAN HEAR MANY A1 SONGS. FAST-FORWARD SCROLLS TO THE NEXT SONG, ETC.. PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY. HAVE FUN! AND LEAVE COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK..... THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT A1. THERE ARE A FEW JAZZ/BLUES & EXPERIMENTAL TRAX FROM SOBOL PROJECTS. MOST ARE LOVER'S ROCK AND/OR DANCEHALL REGGAE TRAX. ----------> ENJOY---------->
THE IRA "ONE BLOOD" OSBOURNE TRAX WERE ORIGINALLY PRODUCED ON JARED'S CLASSIC KORG TRITON, THEN THEY WERE TAKEN TO WAVELAB STUDIOS IN TUCSON WHERE THEY WERE RECORDED ONTO 2IN REEL TO REEL TAPE USING A REAL HAMMOND B3, STEINWAY PIANO, BANKS ON BASS, BINGY SLU ON GUITAR, IRA ALSO PLAYS PERCUSSION... THE TRAX WERE TAKEN BY IRA TO NEGRIL, JAMAICA, WHERE HE NOW LIVES. THERE THEY STAYED UNTAPPED UNTIL 2 YEARS LATER. IRA AND I TOOK THE TAPES TO JAH FREEDOM STUDIOS IN NEGRIL, JAMAICA WHERE THEY WERE MIXED BY SLY & JIGSY KING (RECORDED THE 90'S DANCEHALL SONG "GIVE ME THE WEED"). THIS IS THE FIRST PUBLIC RELEASE OF THESE TRAX. IF ANYONE OUT THERE REMEMBERS "ONE BLOOD REGGAE BAND" IN TUCSON, AZ. FROM THE 1990'S-2001, IRA WAS THE LEAD SINGER AND I WAS THE KEYBOARD PLAYER. ONE BLOOD TOURED THE US WITH MANY CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE MIGHTY 602 BAND, STILL PLAYING IN AZ. SONGS ON THE RED TAPE ARE MOSTLY PRE-CREATED INSTRUMENTAL TRAX (AS PER REGGAE TRADITION) THAT WERE BROUGHT INTO A1 STUDIO FOR VOICINGS AND/OR MIXDOWN- ESPECIALLY FOR A "SOUND SYSTEM" JAMAICAN DJ CREW CALLED "ROYAL BLEND" FOR DUBPLATE SPECIALS.
