Sheffield Labs
If you don't know this guy and his work you are seriously missing out. The first album I got of his was on Warner Brothers and the producer was Tommy LaPuma(Michael Franks fame) so I go it ears unheard! Unbelievable find and saw him and his band several times in LA! His bass guitarist reminded me a Jaco(Marco Mendoza) and his 4 piece band was so amazing especially live! Sheffield Labs really came through with this one recreated the "garage band" feel with ridiculously talented musicians!
The recording with challenge your system but the depth of stage and pure musicality of this is more than worth the costly investment! Sheffield Labs only works with the best! Nuf Said!
