L&S 012: Enablers - Now You Can Answer My Prayers 10"
When Johannes Buff first contacted us about recording with him for a radio program we were intrigued and a little suspicious.
After all, the experience could run the gamut from a closet sized room with a microphone and a half dead laptop running Garage
Band to a decent little studio with a console and a tape machine. Johannes assured us it was all on the up and up and that for a small
fee we could stay overnight at the studio. A fee? This was getting interesting. What kind of studio charges a fee to sleep there?
Our experiences have run on the seedier side of the tracks and we imagined a broom closet with a cot or a pile of blankets on the floor.
We said yes. When we arrived in the vicinity of the studio, we were struck by the strange surroundings. Odd buildings, widely spaced;
futuristic ruins with trees sprouting from upper floor concrete. It was like being in a life-sized version of an architectural model presentation.
We found the address and saw only vast sheets of mirrored glass and two doors.
Of course we were pounding on the wrong door and a smiling Johannes appeared as if by magic further down the way.
We walked through two heavy doors and into an open space with hardwood floors, tall ceilings, soft walls, sleek lighting,
a grand piano and Neumann microphones. We all silently thought, “holy shit…the fucking Eagle has landed for sure.”
Johannes led us on a grand tour of Peppermint Park studios. We were blown away. First rate accommodations, insane gear, great amps,
unreal console, kitchen, couches, coffee, clean towels…in short: the works. Surely, this was not an opportunity to waste. We set up and
we went to work. In any studio situation a million things can happen, especially with Enablers. The pressure of knowing we had just one
night, the friendly, encouraging vibes from Johannes and the inspiring studio surroundings led us to try new ideas. We came away from
Peppermint Park with a brand new song worked up from a Goldring composition now titled “On Returning” and a new version of a Thomson
composition, formerly performed by Touched By A Janitor. We re-titled the song “Hy”, and extended it into an improvisational piece allowing
Byrnes to coax a menagerie of sounds from his kit and Pete to deliver lines from a letter found on Market Street in San Francisco.
Thanks to Johannes’s vision for the Peppermint Park/Radio Grenoble studio series and Dave Hand’s Lancashire and Somerset label,
Enablers are able to release these songs.
Enjoy. (Words By Kevin Thomson)
