Subtle Sound

Rich occasionally broke out the 'Silvertone' bass for the warmer tone than the usual 'Rickenbacker' he used for most songs.
Not to forget the 'Shobud' six string bass or tenor guitar by Gretsch.'
Never seen one like it. Used to be the name of a pedal steel but I can't find info online ....yet.

Blue Moods

I remember taking this pic during the recording of our 1st EP 'Acetone' and the 1st LP 'Cindy' at Hammersound Studios in Chatsworth. (Owned, operated and engineered by Chris Apthorp with huge assistance from Scott Campbell.('The Lad')
More on both Chris and Scott's help throughout the band's existence to come.
Thanks

A silly MTV segment we did about1/2 hr before a great NYC show on the Spiritualized tour.

The Other Side Of Dating

Carl Bronson, Mark Lightcap (Acetone) and Steve Goodfriend (Radar Brothers) perform as the Dick Slessig Combo. The group creates dreamy instrumental arrangements of songs from the late '60's through the early '70's. On this disc they produce a high desert evening quiet drift of the Jimmy Webb classic "Wichita Lineman" that clocks in at a calming 43 minutes. Also on this disc is a ghostly arrangement of "Guinnevere" by David Crosby. This disc is excellent.
The Dick Slessig Combo has played in art and music contexts, opening up exhibitions as well as for groups like Matmos, in the United States as well as Europe. Greil Marcus described his discovery of the Combo in one of his Salon Top 10 lists a few years back:
