Album description

They're at it again!

Margin of Safety is on the (supposedly) final stages of making their first composed album. Meanwhile they keep recording rehearsals and mainly the jam/improv parts of them.

Where's the Station? is meaner than its predecessor. The sound is stripped to bare bones as the guitarist and bass player both use a Musicman sixty-five amp, a beast of terror in its unforgiving nature and tonal bliss. The customed kit of Ludwig drums blast and roll in precise definition.

"Where's the Station?" is the question that pops up at every improvisation, either shouted out in panic and fear, or just as an thought to keep you on your toes and ready to switch gears.

The jams are recorded with a Røde NT3 stereopair.

Once again, Thumbs up.

You know, it's always a pleasure to hear from you guys. This new album is a great continuation of the debut one, same excellent level of playing, same 60's and 70's references : Pink Floyd, Crimson, Ten Years Afters, etc... - Is it Pink Yet has even something of the Doors during their L.A. Woman Era. The guitar inferno at the end of Disco Pneumonia is a real bliss for the ears, if I didn't know it was improvised, I would say that it's a very well written piece of organised mayhem. Very climatic. To put the cherry on the top, even if it's a "live in studio" recording, the production is really excellent, and can easily match any of the most minutiously produced stuff one can find on Jamendo. I'll definetely be waiting for your first album of composed music.

Good album

My first flirtatious step into this genre of music and this album hooked me in. Nice sounds, just when I was concerned about a vibe getting too heavy something flimsy and fun would sneak up and keep the overall mood upbeat.

Excellent Jamming

Nice groove jamming. I hear 1969-1979 Grateful Dead in there. Also a little bit of Hendrix and other bands from 68-74 or so. Love the guitar tone. The bass player is excellent and the drums are right on. "Is it Pink Yet" is a beautiful tune. "What Time is it" reminds me of Dark Star or Other One (the Dead). Those two are my favorite tracks and are somewhat similar. I love the way the intensity ebbs and flows and builds. I've only listened to 5 or 6 albums on Jamenco but so far this one is a keeper and the others aren't. :)

Looking forward to getting more from this band...

I like the drumming

Here we have an interesting blend of prog rock which ranges from some acidy jazz sound to heavier and airier Primus type sounds. An interesting mix. I would say on a critical note that the production needs a little work, I think it could sound a little more organic and warm to get the final niche. I love prog rock so this is great. Keep workin!
Peace, love and music!
