Pink Floyd - Animals (2018 Remaster) I hadn’t listened to this album front to back in years but this new remix had me dipping back in. It sounds great. This album rocks. Shame these guys still don’t get along with each other to this day (supposedly this was delayed from Roger and David fighting over the liner notes?). They had such a unique sound together. IMO the worst of the Floyd albums is better than any of David or Roger’s solo work.

People go both ways with the maple type, but I am thinking hard maple. Some say the softer variant is less likely to damage a workpiece, but I really see no way that the workbench is going to damage a work piece because it is too hard. Also, I found about 50BF of hard maple over in the storage unit so I think that will be enough for a top.

50yo Talking Book Stevie Wonder 1972 https://album.link/i/1440485202 Example: He had two albums in '72 - This one is the one to listen to (the other Music of My Mind). Two big hits on this with You Are The Sunshine Of My Life and Superstition with the latter being a killer track to this day. But, I definitely been missing out on some additional sweet tracks. It is a mix of good funk (example track that I wanted to share) and super soft tracks (You and I), showing future directions into 'I just called to say I love you'. I don't mind the mix, but I would have had different order of the tracks. The slow downs are too slow, it takes the energy out of the flow, where it should just give you a break and transition into the next track. Superstition should be on a rise to a peek, not the start of a rise. Small complaint, enjoyable album. And of course it ends with a track from one of my favorite movies: There are a lot of rules.

^^ Animals and Wish You Were Here are the only albums I still love from them that are post-~1972 (Meddle). I tend to favor the Barrett-era Floyd the most, but those two are masterpieces IMO. That said, I DO think some of David's solo work is awesome too. But I wouldn't argue with your assessment overall....

The answer is No. It doesn’t work. The bottom line is I’ve big trouble get it working. So, I'll put my version of a Tube Hybrid on hold. Probably for a looong time.
