Phil Manzanera & Andy Mackay - Manzanera Mackay Am Pm Soho Live [CD+Blyray] (20 Page Mediabook)

Guitarist Phil Manzanera and saxophonist Andy Mackay (Roxy Music) are set to release a new live album, AM PM Soho Live, recorded in an Intimate venue in Soho with special guest and original Roxy Music drummer Paul Thompson. A thrilling combination of deeply instinctive instrumental interplay between saxophone and guitar swathed in ambience and unique textures, it felt impossible to pinpoint. In part classical purity, caressing and inviting, in others a throbbing invitation to an electronic Bossa Nova dance floor. The album features reimagined versions of material from their AM PM studio album alongside previous compositions from Roxy and solo albums that the band debuted during the Soho residency. Engineered by Mike Boddy, who also performs on the album, "AM PM Soho Live" preserves the spontaneity and intimacy of the performances while delivering exceptional audio quality in multiple formats including Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound, and high-resolution audio. A separate CD with a stereo mix is also included within the package. The performances at All is Joy (formerly De Lane Lea studios) created an immersive sound and visual experience, with the venue's cinema screen displaying "psychedelic" visuals as the musicians performed. Joining the Roxy Music veterans for these shows were Anna Phoebe on violin, Sonia Bernardo on vocals, Lucas Polo on bass and treatments, and Mike Boddy controlling tapes, effects, and mixing.
