A small selection from my Tormato collection



I asked our friend Miguel Falcão to tell me a bit about how Chris Squire achieved such a remarkable bass sound for Tormato. Instead of sending me a few bullet points, Miguel was kind enough to record a complete audio description of the technical minutiae of the master's solution. Mark and I listen to this amazing in-depth piece and discuss a few of the points Miguel makes.



Many thanks to Miguel and if you haven't heard his staggeringly accurate Yes bass covers, then you are missing out a great deal. See the links below to remedy that immediately.



* How did Chris Squire achieve 'that' sound for Tormato?* What technology did he employ?* Was the approach the same on every song on Tormato?



Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!
