EchoLife by (-| ) hdsymbol

Brian May's use of delay in the 1970s was a big inspiration. But it took me a couple years of playing the guitar until I bought my first delay pedal in the late 1980s. Before that our band used borrowed tape echoes for the vocals though - namely an Echolette or the famous Roland Space Echo.
This album is just my spontaneous one-man instrumental interpretation of the Red Special sound. Various setups, various tempi.
Actually the record doesn't contain a lot of delay. Just a bit of BM's typical LR panned thing on tracks 1 and 3. It's more about a small selection of sounds from the BM signature pedal. My personal nostalgia, I was a big Queen fan from age 13 to 19. Then some kind of lightning struck me, and I didn't buy anymore Queen records after The Works.
EchoLife? Yes, the title rather refers to memories, echoes from a crucial corner of the past. I took the photo for the cover art myself.
