More out of Bobbie's box.

this time, her final LP, the brilliant and wildly eclectic Patchwork, which BG wrote and produced herself (and even did the cover painting). Fabulous extra tracks as well.

i like it too, as also the dynamite wonderful tune.  But the sound of this last Ese is a bit average.  A bit sad....

[@mention:56335183628232089] - that is disappointing to hear. Voulez-vous dire, la qualité sonore est médiocre?

Nous avons travaillé très fort pour que l'enregistrement soit très bon. Je pense que la qualité sonore est excellente. J'espère que vous aimerez l'album quand il sera publié sur vinyle l'année prochaine.

 

yes, the sound quality is average.   You wrote «   nous avons beaucoup travaillé pour que la qualité sonore soit excellente «   ( we worked hard to get a very good sound quality ).

You are from the bandcamp stuff?   or you just reported what they wrote ?       I appreciate bandcamp, Ese, and a lot of their albums.   But my download of this album ( only one tune) is not sounding very good.  Curious..      The other albums i downloaded from bandcamp have excellent sound quality.

If you haven't heard the one above which was his first when he came out of retirement then treat your ears as it is in IMHO a fabulous R&B album.

Have tried to listen to this a few times, but strangely, today is the first time I've really enjoyed it. Not sure why this happens, but strange how music can be like that.
