La Sala Mariscal,L´Estartit,va ser un dels locals mitics a Girona.
Va començar dinse Ensiamassa,amb un punt Indi-sicodélic,després Emsiam,i finalment,Mariscal.
Sala molt coneguda,i de molt ambient,era un local de música regentat per la familia Llorens,on als caps de semana tocaban grups de rock´n´roll.
El escenari tenia unas teles,on mentras als grups tocaven,surtien imatges dels musics que eran gravats en directe,amb una cámara de video por el discjockey.
Aquest son 2 concerts memorables,extraits els audio/video de una cinta de video VHS,a un format digital.
Los Mescaleros
Es un grup diferent al grup Anglés,The Mescaleros(1999-2002)rock Alternatiu,punk,reggae,que era un grup que va acompanyar a Joe Strummer.
Banda Gavatxa de rock´n´roll, i rockabilly del area de Lyon,en actiu desde finals dels 80´s,fins a inicis dels 90´s,i que molt sovint tocavan per la zona de Girona.
Membres: Antonio Lopez (bateria),Charly Markarian(Guitarrista),Jean-Paul Casas(Cantant),Tonio Casas (Baix)
Los Mescaleros- Live at Sala Mariscal,L´Escala,(92)
The Crytones
Els Crytones,banda local del poble de Ultramort,Girona,no imitaven als grups de rock´n´roll revival dels 80 ´s,sino que eran un grup dels inicis dels 90´s,que intentavan sonar com als grups yeyés dels seixanta,en concret als grups de garatge punk,US,The Sonics,o grups Anglesos de pop 60´s,com els Downlainers Set,i altres mes coneguts,els Rolling Stones.
La formació mes estable eran: Carles Bronshoms baix,David Sureda,veus i ritmica,Pep Becerra,solista,i Albert PuigmolÈ,bateria i coros.

The Three Johns
One of the classic mid-80s underground bands – seemingly every fanzine of the day carried an interview with them – The Three Johns opted for humour and political belligerence at a time when all around them were intent on making their guitars jangle and handing out jelly babies to audiences dressed in anoraks.
Imaginatively enough, The Three Johns were So called because they comprised three Johns – Messrs Hyatt (vocals), Langford (guitar) and Brennan (bass).

Happy Mondays
Happy Mondays are an English rock band formed in Salford in 1980. The original line-up was Shaun Ryder (vocals), his brother Paul Ryder (bass), Gary Whelan (drums), Paul Davis (keyboard), and Mark Day (guitar). Mark “Bez” Berry
Their first album, Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out), was released in 1987 and was produced by John Cale.
Musically, the band fused indie pop guitars with a rhythmic style that owed much to house music, Krautrock, funk, and northern soul.

Felt
English indie pop band from Water Orton, Warwickshire. Formed by Lawrence who recorded the first single ‘Index’ on his own label in 1979. The first string of releases through Cherry Red Records featured the playing of classically trained guitarist Maurice Deebank. For some reason despite critical acclaim and a #1 indie single (‘Primitive Painters’) they never made it big, but have remained a cult band ever since. After Deebank left in 1986 they signed to Creation Records and released Forever Breathes The Lonely Word, arguably one of their highlights and still lauded as one of the decade’s best pop albums.
First former with Lawrence and guitarist Maurice Deebank,who later left the band in 1986.

The Good Son
“The Good Son” album,took its title from the biblical story of Cain and Abel.
On “the weeping song”,you could listen a duo vocals with Cave and Blixa Bargeld,he also performance with Einstürzende Neubauten,German rock band.
Stronger guitar and bluessy are quite common on The Bad Seeds,and it could be found on:“The Witness song”,and “The Good Son”.
Cave’s voice is particularly strong and dominates the record,marked by the constant presence of piano,Hammond organ,and orchestrations.
It´s source from a vintage VHS tape,and recording from Catalan TV,1990.
Audio restoration: Post editing audio,to set higher.
My set up,is:
JVC video player HR S7500E,Prism Sound Lyra 1 Analog/Digital conversor,Izotope RX8 audio editor software,Final cut Pro,video editor software.
Hi han diferents versions de “Music for Airports” venudes d’aquest álbum ambient,cds remasteritçats i altres formats digitals,pro la versió master a mitja velocitat d’Abbey Road i editada en 2 lps,és la edició més autentica d’escoltar en aquest viatge ambiental d’Eno.
En el espectograma,podem observar als colors solits i estables en las imatges de estereo.
El disc sona tan obert i tan fresc,que val la pena pagar més per aquesta versió superior en vinil.
Un procés de Half speed mastering consisteix en,
– Transferencia en digital a partir de cintas maestras originals,amb un reproductor de bobinas Ampex.
– Captura del audio en wav 24/192
– Post-producció:Reparar els clics,i aplicar de-esing amb les veus per evitar sibilances en el posterior prensatje.
– Edició del acetato: máquina de tall Neumann Lathe Machine,amplificador Riaa i filtre.
– Velocitat de tall : Tallat a mitja velocitat de master
Al grabar el acetat a una velocitat de 45 rpm,hi há més informació que pasa per la agulla per segons que no pas a 33 rpm,de manera que las guitarras,el baix,la veu,i la bateria…. tot sona molt més net.
La mitja velocitat del proces mastering,és amb diferencia,la manera més precisa per produir un acetato.
A continuació editar un vinil doble a 45 rpm, es el millor que pots aconseguir en els registres.
El problema de un presupost tan elevat,es que encareix aquestas edicions de luxe,i llavors a las discograficas independents no li surten als números per editar discos de alta qualitat.
També,no hi han ingeniers de audio per produir vinils a half mastering,perque als més valorats,traballen per estudis de gravació i grans multinacionals discograficas.

El rock sinfònic,va ser un gènere musical de principis dels 70´s,que injustament no va suportar bé el pas del temps.
Un exemple de aquest estil són els Camel,un grup amb complexos ritmes i música experimental.
Formats el any 1972 a Surrey,la formació original era Andy Latimer(guitar,flute,vocals),Andy Ward(drums),Doug Ferguson(bass),i Peter Bardens(Keyuboards),anteriorment al grup Them.
El segon album,“Mirage”(1974),conté meravellosos sols instrumentals.
Es un disc amb un so caracteristic,on destaquen el teclista Pete Bardens,i el guitarra Andy Latimer.
Cal esmentar la suite “Lady Fantasy”,amb un llarg sol de guitarra que es un clàssic dins al rock progressiu.
El tercer àlbum,es al millor exemple de rock progressiu “The Snow Goose” (1975),un album conceptual i instrumental on es narra una història d’ amor,entre un cavaller que desapareix durant una guerra,i la seva princesa que es troba amb una oca blanca després de la batalla.
Aquesta fabula representa l’esperança de l’amor,davant de la guerra.
