for all the production i love from modern studios, nothing transports me more than the sounds of a studio in a far-flung land decades ago. as my brother charlie moonbeam puts it, "it sounds like i'm in the back of a cab in somalia and this music is playing on the am radio station." dur-dur band is on heavy rotation at my house.
