LINN @ Peoples & Schmidt

We have now taken down the photo gallery with snaps from New York City to be replaced by something quite literally 'second place ...' Warm welcome to all for the opening of Christer Hedbergs photo exhibition with competing cyclists from around the globe with shots from when they 'almost' won! Really great exhibition ... As usual great music will be played on our LINN systems & yes we will be playing Queen .. Also as usual and becoming quite a tradition here - the fantastic combination of music, folköl (not strong beer) & maybe even some white wine ... Click the picture to link to facebook event page .

Let's face it, it's the music that matters ... it's the music that touches us! We of course want to listen to our absolute favourite artists in the highest possible quality. That for many of us means buying a great system with the best digital or analogue player at the heart of the system then getting a great installation. ''Rubbish in, rubbish out'' is a well known term for us that prioritise the source product in a system. But don't forget, the ultimate source is the format itself & the recording ... ''Rubbish in, rubbish out''! For older recordings that is usually the rare first press vinyl but for new recordings .. it's the original digital recording which is done at 24 bit rate in the studio. LINN have already done the deal with Universal to release their back catalogue & of course have their own library but Peoples & Schmidt have also been busy! We hope confirm, next week, our first exclusive contract for 24 Bit r...

Interesting ... people try and squash everything into a certain range but a guy from Canada whom Gordon respects and is looking to, Chris Potter, is doing things differently. All of the music, all of the time, no clipping at any frequency ... Gordon McNeil: Quote: ''Letting the music breath''... Chris's use of dynamic control & mixes are second to none'' Have a listen ... amazingly good! Click the above picture to play!

Nice to get a visit from some proper young stars and amazing musicians ... feel the abundance of enthusiasm. Gordon is just an awesome all round producer /mixer/musician ... Gogobot will be huge but I'd say he'll take other bands and artists a long way. We played some of his latest material on the Klimax system .. amazing! And that's not all ... perhaps an amazing Live concert on it's way to Peoples & Schmidt humble premisses. Gordon is trying to get his friend (James) and lead singer of Glasvegas to do a gig in the shop ... that's be awesome! He does a great acoustic set and if he plays 'Daddy's Gone' here there are going to be tears! Lets cross our fingers that Gordon has convinced him!! If James actually turns up when he is supposed to is another thing ... laugh Have a nice weekend // Martin

**The usual perfect combination of 'folk öl' (not very strong beer) & music :) ** Welcome to 'Klanger & Spår', from 5:30 pm tomorrow: a music listening evening where anyone gets to play music that means something to them for whatever reason ... you can simply play or share your thoughts ... preferably on vinyl though we have been known to let some digital music through (bring a USB, we don't have a CD player)! I'll be alone on this one as Christoffer, Musician/producer got snatched up by Depeche Mode for their next album. He'll be back in one month or so and hopefully with great tales and influences from Depeche, NY & LA ... for our next 'K&S' evening.
