solipsistic NATION No. 246: Zion Train, Live

I’m excited about today’s show for a couple reasons. First, it’s Zion Train, for crying out loud!
Zion Train were part of the dub explosion that came out of the 90s. They’ve released over 10 albums and their Live As One album won Zion Train the 2007 Jamaican Reggae Grammy for Best Dub Recording. It’s crazy that I’ve been listening to their music all these years and now I get to talk with one of the founding members and play one of their concerts on the show!

Another reason I’m excited about today’s show is that I got to use Apogee‘s Duet 2 to record the voice overs for the first time!

solipsistic NATION has always been a DIY cheap tech operation. I think it’s great we all have access to inexpensive technology that can be used for tools of creation. But I’ve reached a point where that aesthetic has stopped being a produce the best show I can with the tools at hand to a limitation. My gear is okay, but for a reasonable investment I cam make solipsistic NATION sound so much better!
