WHEN IT COMES TO THE SOUND OF YOUR MUSIC

I’ve worked for great men, pioneers of music and high end audio.  I’m honored and grateful that I learned so much from them.

I write about music and hifi for The Daily Swarm, Positive-Feedback.com, and Big Black Disc (vinyl blog).  I’ve worked my ass off building a solid readership over the years….

Here’s part of the reason….</description><title>SONIC SATORI</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @sonicsatori)</generator><link>http://sonicsatori.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Sonic Satori: Has Audeze Created the Ultimate Headphones Audio...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4dd3d2cedea123e7a4c7c3eb0076be3f/tumblr_mogseekI001qbhlr7o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thedailyswarm.com/swarm/sonic-satori-audeze/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sonic Satori: Has Audeze Created the Ultimate Headphones Audio Experience?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There have been a lot of whispers and rumours about Thom Yorke’s Atoms for Peace project since the band formed in 2009 to play The Eraser live. In the new issue of Dazed &amp; Confused, the fabled frontman clears up the speculation surrounding Amok, his first group album outside of Radiohead, with one of his most in-depth interviews to date. He also talks frankly about his life and work, discussing his uneasy relationship with fame, that video for “Lotus Flower” and why he’s still intent on bending people’s heads of out shape. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Also, stay tuned to Dazed Digital over the next fortnight, as we’ll be enrolling 14 of today’s most innovative producers, including Actress, Machinedrum, Flying Lotus and Arca, into “The University of Yorke”. They’ll be asking Thom a series of burning questions, plus much, much more.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Until then, we thought we’d get you in the mood by asking the man himself to make us an, ahem, A-Thomic mix of some of his favourite tunes. Little did we realise that he would go into the studio with Nigel Godrich and emerge with 25 minutes of unreleased solo material and remixes. Suffice to say, it’s essential listening. Check below for the tracklisting, and make sure you pick up the issue, which hits the shelves today.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; TRACKLISTING &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; cycles mk 3 thom yorke&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; you wouldn’t like me when i’m angry unfinished rmx atoms for peace&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; mali: kono, the sacred birdÃ≈ mali musicians&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; proud evolution thom yorke 500quid rmx liars&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; i don’t need an excuse unfinished thom yorke &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; bloom treatments radiohead&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; morning shiver down the black wood river anstam&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; give up the ghost thom yorke rmx radiohead&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; the grind average joe vs unless atoms for peace&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THIS MIX WILL MELT YOUR FACE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
